Don't see LA including Lemieux. I think he's an important bottom 6 guy in their lineup. The 1st and Turcotte gets it done in my opinion

Los Angeles: 4th in the conference in average GF
Los Angeles: 31st in the League in average GA
And we're going to spend our 2023 first and best trade chip on a rental offensive star?

Isn't LA in need of a dman or goaltending help more then a playmaking winger?

I don't see LAK throwing in the towel on Turcotte so quickly, or paying a big price to add more offense.

I don’t see this happening at all

Turcotte has done very well since returning to AHL from
A bad concussion.

Kane wants to resign wherever he signs so it’sa 3 year commitment (my belief) that need state to push them over the hump.

Also, do you see LA moving either goalie this year? Nope.

Agreed they could use some D help, but they could make other moves to address

That’s not a rumor.

The first is later round which is why I think it will be a better prospect. It won’t be byfield.. so…

There is no rumor that LA is interested in Kane. There is no evidence that Kane wants to resign wherever he goes, it wouldn't be surprising if that is something he would prefer, but, unless you are Patrick Kane or he personally told you this, that is entirely speculation at this point. Lemieux is probably a no go, and isn't very interesting anyway.

However, I do disagree with some people in here. Between Kopitar, Danault, Vilardi, and Byfield, and with Turcotte's play in recent seasons, Turcotte has probably become an expendable asset. If we are still using the Giroux trade as a comparable, Turcotte is probably less than or equal to Tippett's value.

I do have a personal relationship with Kane actually.. we’re best friends and I wipe his ass on Tuesdays. He wants to go to LA.

Are you saying the only time Kane's ass is wiped is on Tuesdays, or that he wipes his own ass besides on Tuesdays when you do the wiping for him? This is an important distinction.

I’m not sure about the other days, I know Andrew has Wednesdays..
