Zucc to the Rangers is 0% chance.

1. You know that the Kings have Doughty, Roy, Walker, Durzi, Clarke, Spence and Grans all on the right side, correct? Addison MAYBE slots in above Grans in terms of the depth chart vs current development.
2. Turcotte doesn't need a fresh start, he needs health. The Kings have shown that even with only a few weeks of health, they are willing to give him NHL minutes.

Kings pass on this one, very quickly.

Toronto says no Faligno is no 1st pick just a 5th for your salary dump

What would a trade for Turcotte look like to you? I'm intrigued to get a guy who might be able to help us up the middle.

Dean Evason and Bill Evason enabling him are still here. The bs with not having a country lockerroom yet no veteran besides one like fiala who pushes dean Evason bottlims ever get held responsible. I just don't get it. We have an owner who wants to sell tickets and I get it, but they talk about fair treatment, yet rookies and young players get the wrong end of the stick. Veterans like Jon merrill, and Zuccarello do no wrong. Dean Evason is a big issue

I agree, I highly question his ability to help develop the young guys and bring them up correctly. In my opinion, Kaprizov and Zucc should be able to carry a line and allow Rossi to play freely. I look at the Stars who have Johnston playing so well. Our vets don't enable the young guys and cover up for any of their mistakes. It either a player issue or coaching issue. And I lean towards coaching.

It's a coaching and don't piss off Bill Guerin or Dean Evason issues. As much I love and adore Matt dumba, as soon he pissed off Dean Evason, he was benched. Calen Addison: pissed off Dean Evason and Bill Guerin and didn't play most if not all of 2nd half of season. Boldy: criticized in media by Guerin at the end of thus season.

Fiala: traded because he clashed with Dean Evason. How often does a gm choose a coach over player? I know money played big role also, but relationships was fractured

Zuccarello & foligno: Zip! No criticism..Spurgeon: no criticism.

It's kind of sad that when you critique the coaching staff as a player on the Minnesota Twins, and now the MIN Wild, they talk about family culture and openness, but it doesn't exist

Turcotte is not available until next summer unless there is a top quality LHD coming back. The Kings don't want to sell low on him, and have no reason to do so since he's still waiver exempt. Given his injury history, no team should be willing to pay what the Kings would want for him.

You're better off waiting until next summer if you want him.

I don’t necessarily disagree with your dislike of Dean, but I think it’s more of a system thing. I also don’t think BG has unconditional love for DE…BG didn’t hire DE, he inherited him.

I certainly agree that I hate BG’s philosophy on young players, and his unwillingness to let them learn in the NHL.

I have a strong dislike for Leipold…from how he got the team, to how he dealt with Suter, and now his unwillingness to think long term!! I mean they are in cap hell (because of him) and then not allow the team to tank for top 5 picks!! WTF!!

I would love to get Turcotte!! I thought he should have been in the Fiala deal…I didn’t think BG got enough for Fiala.

For the reasons set forth by @tkecanuck341 above, I don't think that we trade him this summer, but if we did, I'd want Lambos or O'Rourke back.

Frankly, I don't think there's a world where Minnesota and the Kings are trade partners including Turcotte. His health is too variable, and I think the only way the Kings would part with him were if they were using him as the finishing piece to a much larger package. Something like what it would have taken for Chychrun.

Turcotte's value is just so hard to gauge right now, because every other team trying to acquire him will low-ball LA and and poitn to his health. But the Kings won't want to sell low on a previous #5 pick when it hasn't been a skill development problem. The kid can play. I'd argue his value is probably mid-round first (13-18OA) pick if I had to guess. But no team is going to be willing to take that chance on a kid who hasn't stayed healthy.

Fiala wasn't traded because he clashed with coaches. The Wild had no cap space and therefore everyone knew he was going to be moved. No doubt, they wanted Brock Faber which is who they targeted. The Wild would also bring Dumba back after the way he played the 2nd half (at a lower cap hit) but they have $8m to sign 8 players for next season.
