Boston passes on that

I have the get out of jail free card trade I’ve already mentioned

To Boston: PLD and Talbott
To LA: Ullmark and DeBrusk

Depending on your perspective of PLD’s future, this trade could be very bad for either side.

I feel like that is terrible for BOS. PLD is a major red flag, and BOS isn't that desperate for a C.

PLD isn't going anywhere. 20 points in his first 49 games as a King sitting at a miserable 0.4 points per game then the Kings fire Todd and under new coaching he is 6 points in his last 7 games so just under a point per game. Does that mean he's starting to settle in and we are going to get our moneys worth out of this guy? Maybe. Hopefully. Who knows? But bottom line is PLD isn't going anywhere.

This ^

100% this.

Like I said I could see it being negatively perceived by both sides

Do they? A 1st + any other assets for Ullmark would be fine, Spence is a great prospect, and pending UFA Talbot only makes 1mill, not crazy about retention, but there have definitely been worse offers

Obviously would prefer assets to help the forwards or get Hanifin, but this is pretty solid IMO, wouldn't expect LAK to offer it tho

PLD is terrible, wouldn't trade JD for that package alone

Ya, they do. Does nothing for them now. Offseason i’d take the 1st alone. Deadline, not unless they are flipping them for help now.
