Kings don't consider. Rebuilding teams don't trade away 2nd round picks, especially the #35 overall.

Unless you are Tim Murray then you trade them away like candy for AHL players and aging stars.
Remember how the Kings got 2 seconds and McNaab for Deslauriers and Fasching. McNaab would have been too much for them.
Then he gave away a second for Gorges. A player who could hardly skate he was so worn out from playing hard his entire career much like Mike Richards at age 30.
Later a third to talk to Jimmy Vesey.
Then a first for Lehner and a cap dump. Earlier this year AFTER Lehner proved he was a starter was trade for a fifth and a "C" prospect.
He was throwing away draft picks like used cigarettes.
After all of his trades Buffalo finished last in the Atlantic then last in the league. LOL
So you are 100% correct about trading away picks.

Drop the 2nd going back to Buffalo and this is a decently fair value trade. The Kings probably still wouldn't do it because they're high on Roy, but the value wouldn't be far off.
OK, thank you all for this great education.
I had no idea that Matt Roy was this good.
I am glad I read all of your comments first.
You definitely changed my mind about this trade.
