Something tells me Doughty doesn't seem to understand what a rebuild is. Just wait for the young guys and he could still get another cup by the end of his career.

Good try on the Boeser deal . Not even close

Canucks take that and run, did Turcotte kick a baby or something, why does no one value him as a legitimate top prospect?

Don't listen to Doughty and mess up a solid rebuild LA has got going. Not to mention, this year aside, his performance is one of the biggest reasons (not the only reason, of course, but a big reason) they've been bad the last three years. If he wants the team to be better, he could start by being worth eleven million dollars for them.

I agree with you. I’d rather keep stockpiling high quality prospects and let them develop when we are a playoff bubble team at best than start throwing away futures. I’m pretty much just spitballing here

What would you ask for Boeser? I know VAN doesn’t have to trade him, so they can be picky. Just curious how other people value him

I really really like Turcotte and would rather hang on to him. I just think he might be the best valued asset among those that the Kings might be willing to part with. I can’t see them giving up Kaliyev, and having Byfield makes Turcotte expendable, as much as I’d rather keep him

He is a player getting better and better every year. He is close to a thirty goals scorer and plays now a very good two way game. I don't think it is worth making a counter offer because he is not on the trade offer.

I mean they could take a pass at Hyman, Hall, RNH, or Palmeri and give up nothing and get goal scoring so we can see if Turcotte can adapt to wing.

That’s what I figured. I see Boeser as 30 goals year in and year out and was honestly trying to construct a fair offer.
Thought that Pettersson and Turcotte as a 1/2 punch with improved defense and the potential for another really good prospect could be a decent return, but
Like you said, Canucks have no reason to trade Boeser, so they can just say no and move on with life if they don’t like the offer

Or maybe he doesn't want to waste the next few years of his limited career playing through one?

I think he’s tired of losing because he didn’t have to lose for that long with the Kings. They made the playoffs his second year, and then 3 really deep playoff runs make him want success year in and year out. I just wish he could be patient, but I don’t think he’s ever needed to be patient for success until recently

If you read the rest of my comment, I said he should just wait for the kids and contend even better instead of rushing it and having the team end up like Buffalo.

I could get behind signing Hyman or possibly the Nuge. If they were dead sign on adding through free agency, I’d be tempted to let Athanasiou hit the market to free up a spot for Kaliyev though. I don’t think Arty should be stuck in the AHL next year

drew doughty is delusional is this his burner

Sure, but he's 31 and running out of runway. I can understand his desire to maximize his "prime".
