Thread: big AZ trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLBRIAN</b></div><div>They put him on waivers last week or a few weeks ago and he cleared. That means they were willing to lose him for zero. No team claimed him.</div></div>

That's not what that means. That means that due to his recent struggles and significant cap hit, they were confident they could sneak him through waivers without anyone taking him. Now that he has cleared, he has the added flexibility of being able to go up and down from the AHL. He has looked really good for the Reign since he was sent down.

I do not believe the Kings have given up on him. He doesn't have any trade value, but that doesn't mean they're actively trying to get rid of him either. They're hoping that Matt Millar can work his magic and get him back on top of his game again.

Thread: Switching Gears
Nice. Thanks for that response; never considered those details. I guess when I considered the deal, I figured Buffalo would probably want Byfield, but would have to settle for quantity over quality. (no disrespect to LA's other fine prospects, of course!) As it's pretty hard to keep a "finger on the pulse" of every team, it was intriguing to know how much the Kings value certain prospects. TY

If I had to rework my deal I would drop Faber and one of either Thomas or Turcotte, but keep Kempe in the deal. I think a decent young roster player needs to come back Buffalo's way if they're trading Eichel (and that frees up number 9! lol). I also think it's safe to assume LA would need to include at least one young center in the deal. (Turcotte / Vilardi / Kupari / Thomas / Anderson-Dolan) Which player(s) could you see the Kings including? (keeping it real considering the player you'd be getting back, as well as his health factor, of course)

Truth be told, it wouldn't surprise me if Eichel ends up somewhere totally unexpected.
