Created by: McSorley

Team: 2022-23 Los Angeles Kings

Initial Creation Date: Mar. 3, 2023

Published: Mar. 3, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Trade 2 important lockeroom players, a 2023 1st round pick, a 2023 3rd round pick, and a 2024 5th round pick.

Acquired Gavrikov, Korpisalo, and MacEwen.

Gavrikov a mid upgrade a LD(don't trade for Kulikov too or anything Blake)

Korpisalo who has been worse than Quick last season and early this season, but doesn't come close to how important Quick was to this lockeroom, Korpisalo is a small upgrade in net.

Traded Lemieux(a very liked player in the Kings lockeroom) for a guy that can fight better, but worse at hockey and will likely being a scratch the majority of the 4-7 game post season.

Result: Pissed off lockeroom and barely a better hockey team, job well done Blake.

What still doesn’t make sense to me is shipping out a first and a third for two rentals. It’s not consistent with the rebuild when I don’t see us as cup contenders this year.

As it relates to Quick, the writing was on the wall when they signed Copley and still had Petersen. I expected him to not be resigned. But in hindsight they still had the cap space to keep him. Some plan must have flopped for someone else. This isn’t as big a fail as the Sekera trade, but it feels similar.
