Thread: DOUGHTY TO LEAFS
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingsGKG</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JimCarrey</b></div><div>

Hahahahahaha that is so naive... I would trade willy for Doughty straight up...but not much more!!!</div></div>

You leafs homers crack me up. Don't drink your own kool aid too much because your beloved trifecta hasn't won anything yet. When they have, then you can scoff at Doughty.</div></div>

Sure Doughty has won, but let's not talk about the past. Doughty can't lead his star studded team into the playoffs now, what makes you think he could help the Leafs to greater heights if three NHL regulars are needed to just acquire him? No rebuilding team, Sabres, Jets, Canes would give up so much for Doughty. I would suggest the team that doesn't get Shattenkirk such as the Bruins or Rangers might have more interest in Doughty. But of course this would make for some creative trading instead of the blah, blah, blah, that the Leafs HAVE to trade their young potential stars for two years of Doughty.
Come on KingsGKG, try to trading some of the other 29 teams in the NHL.

Thread: Kings (with Drouin, and a Vegas deal)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingsGKG</b></div><div>Couple of points.

I would like Vegas to take Clifford, but not going to give up a 3rd round to do it. Just let them take Lewis or McNabb

On the Drouin trade: Again, I think you are giving up too much. Muzzin and a 4th for Drouin might work. I personally like them getting Muzzin for Tyler Johnson straight up.

If we get Drouin, we need to lock him up for longer than 2 years. 4/5 years @ 4-5m

Also. I doubt they bring Justin back. I just think they are looking to get a little more athletic on the wings. If JW does come back, it will be a 2yr deal</div></div>

With regards to your first point, I'd give up a 3rd to make sure they don't pickup McNabb. Lewis, I'd let them take grudgingly. But having McNabb as a 6/7 defenseman allows us to make the trade for Drouin/Johnson/Kane (ugh, I hope not). My point remains, we need McNabb to have the defensive depth to trade Muzzin or Martinez. That's worth the 3rd round pick as compensation to take Cliffy.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kingsfaninSD</b></div><div>Williams is not coming back. LaDue will not be taking a payout and he needs longer than 2 years. In your scenario we only have 2 D under contract in two years</div></div>

LaDue isn't going to get more than 900k-1.2mil/year for 2-3 years. He hasn't earned it yet, and has absolutely no leverage with the team. He's going to be a good player, but he's not a Doughty-lite with that kind of sway over his pay. And he'll be looking to get that first big contract sooner rather than later, so he won't sign for a long-term.
