Thread: Kings wrap up their rebuild but wont in reality
I get you're just asking a question, but these trades border on trolling levels of terrible. Almost worthy of a report.

1) That Florida trade is horrendous. No, the Kings are not going to give up their franchise, Hall-of-Fame-bound 1RD for the albatross contract of a constantly terrible goaltender. Like... what?

2) Same reasoning as the Doughty trade, but at least it's a pick and a prospect. However, there is zero chance Kopitar is traded. Let's not talk about the massive amount of retention and the mediocre return.

3) The Kings won't trade Sean Walker until he's proven he can be back on the ice. And even if they did, he's STILL worth more than a 5th. That's a terrible trade as well.

4) The only trade that relatively favors LA is the Coyotes trade, but what interest do they have in Edler, a 37 year old, slowing defenseman.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Greysuits</b></div><div>The Sabres trade is not a bad idea, particularly if they can't sign Johnson and Portillo, but the Sabres already filled the needs that Quick and Roy would have filled. I also don't see them giving up a second in the deal.</div></div>

5) I'm sure Sabres fans love that trade. It's terrible from the Kings point of view. Roy is worth a 1st ++ and the Kings aren't trading their starting goaltender. Peterson hasn't grabbed the reigns, and even if he had, the Kings have no capable NHL backup. Awful.

Thread: Toronto I need your help
It would need to be a huge package

High End C Prospect (Byfield)
High End D Prospect (Brandt)|
Kempe for cap reasons
Walker for cap reasons
1st in 2023 (Unprotected)
1st in 2024 (Unprotected)
1 or 2 more prospect (1 Turcotte or 2 of the following: Helge, Spence, Kapari)

Damn LA has a ton of good prospects. They have done a great job! To me their team looks very good. Biggest hole I see is a proven top pair left D. If one of their prospects turn into that OR they trade for one, this team will be dangerous. They should already be very good.

Matthews would clearly be the best player on this team... but at what cost. It seems like what Vegas did when aquiring Pietreangelo and Eichel. Both amazing pieces but it took away from what they already had going for them.

I don't see this as a fit - YET. Once Kopitar is done with his contract and extends to be a lesser role on the team, Matthews makes a ton of sense.

I should also mention that Leafs wouldn't trade Matthews at all (I think we all know this) At least at this point in time. - Just playing with the hypothetical situation.
