Thread: Just Fired Dorion
First of all, Roy isn't being traded because he's too important to the make-up of the Kings current defense. He's criminally underrated in the capfriendly world outside of the LA fanbase because numbers trump everything when you don't know much about a player, and producing numbers is not his job. But for the sake of conversation:

LA wouldn't accept anything less than a 1st + another good asset for Roy. He's their best defensive D-man not named Doughty, and he and Mikey Anderson are the only ones that can consistently eat minutes currently. Its why the Kings are looking for another piece for their blue line to pair with him. For the price of a 2nd, the Kings would move Sean Walker because he's replaceable with the prospects they have in the pipeline. With LA moving Faber out for Fiala, there's no current replacement for the type of minutes Roy provides in the King's system. So, Roy is going to be more expensive than most think if they want to pry him out of LA.

Thread: Lets Go
Ottawa isn't giving that much for Chychrun and Greig is pretty much off-limits

This is what Dorion said recently :

“<em>Ridly Greg is unbelievable. He’s an incredible two-way player and he’s probably got one of the biggest hearts I’ve seen</em>,” said Dorion. “<em>He’ll do anything to win. He’s not just like a role player, but he’s a complete player</em>." “<em>He’s got great skills, he finds a way to score and he plays in the middle of the ice. He competes on draws. He can power play, penalty kill and we were really impressed with the way he was playing before he got hurt</em>.”

They are extremely high on him and rightfully so. I understood this when I saw Greig in his first 4 AHL games as he was 18 y/o. He's literally untouchable for me. Another team would have to dangle an even bigger "untouchable" for me to consider trading him

Remove Greig, add a 2nd and that's it... No need to do much more than that. If that's not enough then you move on to another option

Thread: Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Julesens</b></div><div>even then, still a no. Brown can get a much better return in my mind. EDM just aint it. Retaining on Murray makes little sense, he's just as likely to end up on LTIR. I don't think EDM is the trade partner for OTT. Even Jesse P doesn't do it for me tbh</div></div>

I see, but Bourgault is a good prospect. With that 1st, it's a good return for Brown

Retaining on Murray is the only way for his contract to not be negative value. Yes he could be LTIR but there's also a good chance he ends up between the IR and playing, again, which still costs a lot of money

Of course, I think they should instead extend Brown for 4-5 years but also thought Nick Paul should have been extended so who knows with this team?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sens65</b></div><div>Would you do Connor Brown for Kailer Yamamoto+?</div></div>

Straight up not interested in Yamamoto, one of the most overrated players for one of the most underrated? kinda funny

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>I don’t think Edmonton does it</div></div>

If they have an ounce of knowing what they're doing, they would jump on that like vultures.
