I'd take walker instead if they'd prefer.

Kings fans don't wanna give up assets they gotta take something back. They do get Quick off the books too.

Skinner is signed to 2026-2027, Quick is off the books next season. How is that comparable?

No, thanks. We're quite happy to stumble ahead with those four prime assets. And Quick's cap hit is irrelevant to us because we have enough cap space that it's just Monopoly money. See the contemporaneous post by our esteemed colleague @tkecanuck341

Your appraisal of Eichel's trade value is significantly inflated.

Franchise centre for a prospect projected as a high end 2C but could also be a bust. What team do you think adds?

Get quick off the books!? he has 2 years remaining and 15 million in cap space. No one in the org is clamoring to get rid of his contract.

LA will not trade an asset they just acquired. RW is more of a organizational need than center.

The Kings will not take on Skinner's contract in addition to Eichel's. That amounts to 25% of their cap space for 5+ years. That's suicide.

I think I've been pretty clear about what the maximum return for Eichel from LA should be. I'm not saying that Buffalo should/would accept, but if they want more, they should look elsewhere. They're the ones that are up against the clock with Eichel's NMC kicking in next year.

2021 or 2022 1st round pick - Buffalo's choice
One of Turcotte or Vilardi
A prospect not named Byfield, Turcotte, or Vilardi
A roster player not named Kopitar, Doughty, Bjornfot, Anderson, Petersen, or Arvidsson

Choose one from each of those categories.

I would do 7 for Reinhardt + a second maybe, no need to include the rest

That sounds like a fair deal. Would Boston's 2nd be enough?

I guess a deal between these 2 teams doesn't make sense then. Ideally Eichel gets traded with Skinner. If not they should take back cap dumps in the trade to maximize the return on Eichel.

I dont even think the offer you proposed is close. What about Eichel for Turcotte + 3 1sts + Buffalo can take Quick as a cap dump if you want.

I’d do that. I guess would depend on the contract a bit cause 8m Reinhardt is quite a bit
