Quoting: PuckLuck_77
Turcotte should still be interesting, despite injuries. But agree that the package needs to be larger. So let me get this straight, you are saying the package should be this:
Spence
Hrenak
Walker
Grans
2023 1st
2023 2nd
If I understand correctly, that's probably not likely. Despite having great RD depth, trading two out of that group hamstrings the Kings ability to call-up players in the event of injury, not to mention absolutely gutting the right side of the Ontario Reign. Clarke can't be in the AHL for call-ups, so if they decide to send him down to the OHL after the World Juniors there's even less option.
You'd have to replace one of Grans or Spence with a forward like Thomas or JAD. And if you wanted a higher player like Kupari or ****emo the picks would need to be changed. Maybe to a 2024 1st and the 2023 2nd. The Kings will be fighting in any trade proposal to keep the 2023 1st rounder.
That are interesting
to AZU* ....D and G prospects, '23 picks... zero need for forwards, keep em all.
Sorry I shouldn't have lumped in Peterson as a direct replacement for Walker but AZU don't want Walker, LA is just cap strapped. We'd take Peterson for an extra 1st + Grans value ['24 1st] so it would be:
Spence
Hrenak
Walker <- worth maybe a '23 2nd to AZU
2023 1st, 2nd
'24 1st
Or
Spence
Hrenak
Walker
[Peterson]
'23 1st, 2nd [+ both 3rds]
'24 1st [+ 2nd]
or just '25 1st {in place of [x's]}
Prob with Peterson is '24-25 5M hurts... would cost '25 2nd to dump that last year.
But dude.... Imagine lessening your last chances with aging, expensive contracts for Ontario Reign RD depth who will prolly be a 4/6 RD at best. We'll throw in Mayo since he's 950k x 3, perfect 6/7th RD
