Thread: Kings get a Goalie
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tryger</b></div><div>Kings already have Portillo and Rittich in the AHL, this doesn't move the needle</div></div>

I'll be honest, I don't quite understand this. Neither of those guys are great (Portillo could become great, but he isn't right now), and the Kings need a guy who might be better than what they have.

Is Driedger going to be a Vezina calibre Goalie? No, probably not, but in the games he has played, he's been ok. But the main thing the kings get in this trade is cap space. Arvidsson is great, but the Kings are winning fine without him, and their biggest need is goalie and D, not forward.

I don't think Driedger is the guy they go with but if they want to be a cup contender, either one of the guys they have needs to play out of their minds, OR they make a trade.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>We could probably have Bear for a fourth. Why should we trade our best defender for him?

P.S. The Walker and Arvidsson trades are silly.</div></div>

After thinking about it, I agree with the Roy take, I knew Roy was a good player but I didn't know just how valuable he was to kings fans.

I do disagree about Arvidsson though. He and Yams had around the same point total last year and one makes much money if they want to make big moves. not only that but you're getting a 23-year-old for a 29-year-old with similar point production, Arvidsson's a great player but his injury problems and age make him less valuable than a player like Yams. I also don't think Yams makes more then 3.2 next year so it's a pretty good deal for LA.

As for Walker, he's a cap dump. He's a fine player but an overpayment at 2.7, and like Arvidsson makes it hard to make other deals. Maybe a 3rd is too much but I can't see anything less than a 4th to take him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeautifulIdiot</b></div><div>dont think you'll need to give up that much for kylington

but, if you are looking for a #1LD, can I interest you in a former captain, former 6th overall pick, a 6'2" shutdown defenceman who could also be your PP1 guy if you wanted. We will even retain some money for you to bring his cap hit down to just 6.36M. He even has some term left, expiring at the end of the 26-27 year. he has also had 2 20+ goal seasons and has rounded out his game to be a shut down defenceman.</div></div>

Lol as a Coyotes fan there is no way of selling me on OEL. I love the guy but he's not an idea to add to a young team like LA. Trust me I'm a neutral fan so I don't really care but I think the guy may not have it in him anymore. But hey Dylan Guenther looking pretty good right :)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Neither of those offers is even close, my friend. And while I know how you got the idea that the Blues lost faith in Dunn, those early season tweets about them shopping him were nothing more than clickbait speculation because he was sat for ONE game. Frankly, at this point, I'd rather find a way to offload Krug more than Dunn. But if Dunn is dealt, and that certainly may happen, it will take something closer to a 1st or a mid-to-high 2nd and a solid RD or LW prospect. I doubt Arizona wants to get into that realm.

As far as Barby, he's certainly not untouchable, but the Blues have no use for Fischer, who seems to have forgotten how to hockey and plays a position where STL is well-stocked.</div></div>

I don't disagree with that at all honestly, I think my mind was on the expansion draft and I completely forgot that Faulk and Krug don't have NMC (I thought they did) my bad on that one.
