I'd like Fagemo but both were just recently signed, IDK if either team does that this year. I think Johnson would be moved, if one is move this offseason, based purely on the contract signing. Even if it was Botts, its just a bad look imo, not that Samuelsson would complain

Why would LA do that? Samuelsson is decent, but he's not worth any of those guys. Maybe Anderson-Dolan, or Tyler Madden who I'm not especially high on, though I think the Kings like those players a fair bit more than I personally do.

Instead of picking Sanderson, would y’all consider trading that pick to dump Okposo completely without retention? Ie: Buf 2020 1st + Okposo to Det for 2020 4th rd pick

Not a chance.

I'll see what they have to say. Samuelsson is pretty good.

Blake has come out and publicly stated that offense will no longer take a back seat to defense. The Kings are already pretty solid at LHD. They're not going to give up a quality forward for a defenseman.

Turcotte, Vilardi, Kaliyev, and Fagemo are untouchable. They're not going anywhere unless there's a huge return coming back. Anderson-Dolan is their only NHL-ready forward prospect, and he's expected to make the team this season, so he's not likely to go anywhere either. That leaves Kupari, Madden, and Thomas as possible trade options. However, 1-for-1 Samuelsson won't get you any of those players.

Appreciate the insight.

There's definitely a lot to like with him, but I think the high end upside is way more on the side of guys like Turcotte, Fagemo, Vilardi, Kaliyev, Kupari and Thomas.

Most likely. Doesn't hurt to test the waters at least!

Kings are stacked at LD so we will have to pass.

Tbh I thought you guys needed LHD lol

Our top 4 LD is about to be solidified at LD with Bjornfot and Anderson. We just need a temporary filler until Bjornfot is ready.

We desperately need a 2RD. Hopefully Brandt Clarke in next draft.

Out of curiosity, what could you offer for Jokiharju?

I have no desire to aquire Joki, he hasn't done anything for me and his value is so inflated by Buffalo fans on here now I have no idea what his actual worth is.

What is appealing about him? Not trying to be rude I honestly don't know.

Why on earth would we even consider doing that?!
No offense, but that’s brutal
We NEED another good young talent a hell of a lot more than we need Okposo gone.
Especially since he’s been playing really well in a checking role for us.
Sucks that he’s so overpaid,
but getting rid of his contract isn’t even remotely worth giving up pick8 in this draft

Hr is a very good skater. Moves the puck well. Excellent in transitioning out of the d zone. He also is tremendous positional. He is always on the right side if the puck and seems to always make th right play. He doesn't offer any flash. No end to end rushes, no blistering slap shot, no bone crushing checks. A good comparable for me is Brett Pesce.
