You are getting nothing of value in return for Edmundson. If you want a deal like this, retain half on Joel and change the pick to this year's MTL 2nd. Maybe LA considers then.

1.) A bit too much for PLD, either one of Harris or Beck, and maybe no hoffman

2.) Kings ignore the call.

3.) Bad for MTL. Mantha has skill but is very unreliable. Dvorak is a reliable 3C and holds more value

LA's interest in Joel Edmundson on his own, however tepid it might have been, evaporated when the Kings signed Vladi Gavrikov for $5.875 million. Even at 50% off, Edmundson costs too much when we have a variety of choices to put in the #3LhD slot for about half his cap hit. Including Arvidsson in the trade solves the cap problem, but Arvy is worth much, much more than Edmundson with retention and a middling fourth. As my esteemed friend @PuckLuck_77 says, make the pick the Montreal 2023 second and you might have a deal. Or substitute Alex Iafallo for Arvidsson and retain 50% on Edmundson and add the Florida first to the fourth and you might have a deal. Iafallo would immediately become the best two-way forward on your team.

What about - 50% retained Eddy + 3rd + LHD prospect for Durzi and any cap dump

With the Petersen contract off the books, there aren't really any other cap dumps on the Kings. Any player they move will be useful and actually worth something now.

Kings could have interest in a Xhekaj for Durzi swap, with a pick (probably a 3rd) added going to LA. But "LD prospect" doesn't do much for LA when the LD prospects you have (who aren't Lane Hudson, who I don't think LA would be interested in anyway since they're looking to add size) aren't expected to make any real impact in the NHL for a few years. LA is trying to compete now, not wait for more prospects to make the jump in two years.

Basically, you're trying to rid yourself of the worst defenseman on Montreal's roster last year AND get the best player in the trade, without giving up anything worth any actual value. Kings decline until you pony up something that's worth it.

Still not interested. Find another team for Edmundson.
