idk if pulling out of the rebuild is the right choice just yet, one more year to figure out goaltending and defense just a bit more and this team will be dangerous, no need to rush it. core is already in place

I know everyone says wait, be patient, but these trades add players who will be 24 & 26 y/o at the start of next season. Coupled with Byfield (20), Turcotte (21), Kaliyev (21), JAD (23), ****emo (22), Faber (20), and Clarke (19), the Kings have plenty of youth still to blossom.

Bottom Line: LAK have too many prospects, some will have to be traded due to not enough spots on the roster.

My fellow Kings adherents may not like me for saying this, but I would do that Chychrun trade if instead of the Colorado first, we simply exchanged second-round picks with Arizona.

I understand it feels like a slight overpay, but ARZ will have multiple suitors for Chychurn, and the Kings can afford the payment.
I like how both additions are young, both improving the offense and defense.

I think you missed my point. I'm saying that it's an underpay by my team. I don't think that Arizona has to give up the first.
