1.5 mill is a lot to pay for a guy who would be 2nd pairing on the marlies

Arizona would laugh at that offer. If those prospects were two of the best in the league, they wouldn't still be in the minors at 22.

🙄

That's a really flawed way to judge prospects especially when their team has been in full on contention mode for many years now

Liljegren has historically good AHL scoring numbers

He has 100 NHL games so far for 25 other teams

Also the offer overall is very generous it's three 1st round picks and other good assets, Chychrun at a great cap hit but on the flipside he's a UFA-4

I get what you are saying but realistically I don't think the Kings trade their first essentially for Reilly. Meaning that second trade wouldn't have the Kings first round pick and if they added another of their own or wouldn't be as good. With guys like bogosian and Dermott being ahead of them on the depth chart before means they really don't have much confidence in them even for third pairing minutes. Hollowell hasn't even got a game in the NHL yet at 22 so what does that say? I wouldn't write either off at being nhl players in the future but to label them two of the best in the league is a stretch.

Chychrun is the only one safe in Arizona

In all fairness, Storms did not say they were 2 of the top league prospects, only 2 top D prospects in Toronto's system.

I am pretty sure I read two top prospects in the league, I think it was changed.

I didn't it. We all know that they are not the best in the league.

Kings pass. They can just sign Rielly in the offseason and keep Vilardi.

Rielly doesn't make us a contender this year, so as my esteemed colleague @kingsfaninSD says, we'll sign him in the off-season and keep our two extremely valuable futures. And Nick Robertson is a fine young prospect, but we're not paying Athanasiou and a second for him with all the good left-handed forwards we have already.
