Cmon. Find me a comparable to justify a 2nd and a guy who passed through waivers for a guy with toffoli's production?

Make it Turcotte, Kaliyev, or Spence instead of Madden and then we're talking

Shoot MTL isnt a playoff team and we'd pay that

I see what you did here, even if it flies over other people's heads.

As it turns out, rental Toffoli is objectively worth a 2nd and Tyler Madden.

2020: 5.6% of cap...18g, 25a, 43pts over last 82 (0.52 ppg)
2024: 5.1% of cap...35g, 29a, 64pts over last 82 (0.78 ppg)

He is probably worth a bit more...

(especially retained at 50%)

You could switch Madden with a younger equivalent b prospect but if Blake pays any more than that hes surely the worst gm in Kings history.
You dont sell a player in his prime then pay more to acquire him as a rental when hes out of his prime.

Who said anything about retention? With the Kings LTIR situation, they don't need retention.

Toffoli this year and last year has better production than at any other point in his career.

Outside of last year, toffoli this year is on pace for career highs in goals and points

Hence why I said 5.1% of the cap
