Thread: Thoughts from kings fans
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>If Matthews was to be traded before next season, this is type of trade that will do it. High retention and the Leaf get futures. But the Kings would not do the trade without an extension.
Now I think Matthews wants to go to LA. Think the Leafs and Kings could work out a trade "easily", but can LA and Matthews work out a contract in the next six weeks?
Like the thought. Kings might only want to trade one of their young centers. Maybe a Vilardi, Brandt, Durzi (Kings have RHDs) is the trade.</div></div>

Would have to think the extension is agreed upon before the trade goes through (like Tkachuk). Seems like a lot to give up without the certainty of him playing for your franchise for 8-9 years. Like the package though

Thread: What do you need to see from Drouin to give him another year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonh514</b></div><div>I hear you. But on. the other hand, I don't think he wants to leave the NHL either. No playoff team felt he could be a valuable contributor. That means there's at least a 50% chance he does not find a contract in the NHL in the offseason. I think he will do what he has to to prove he still has what it takes. He's showing it these past 20 games, he wants to be seen as an NHL caliber forward.</div></div>

No team wanted him at $2.75 mil or no team wanted to give up enough assets to get him double retained at $1.375 mil. The offseason’s a different story. Phil Kessel never got moved last year and Vegas still signed him to be a bottom six scoring forward. The leafs a couple years ago were playing $900K Alex Galchenyuk in the top 6. There’s always competitive teams looking to fill their lineups with cheap forwards. There’ll be interest from other teams and I think that’s best for Drouin.
