Thread: Minor Moves revised
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tkecanuck341</b></div><div>The difference between Lindgren and Kaliyev is not a 2nd round pick. Kaliyev may be struggling to find a place on the Kings, but he's still a quality player with 4+ years of team control remaining. Lindgren is a solid backup goaltender that will be a UFA next summer.

If anything, it's an even swap.</div></div>

Lindgren has put up solid starter numbers on a bad Caps team. And if he hadn’t missed a week or two he’d have starter GP this season too. Not to mention trading for him would allow the Kings to spend only ~$2mil on goaltending again next year since he has proven capable of being a full time starter

Kaliyev is an occasional healthy scratch that has clearly lost favor in the organization. That trade ain’t 1 for 1

Maybe Kalyiev + a 3rd

Thread: The Snake is back
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>I see what you're going for, and in theory the development climbs of Zherenko and Ellis make this sort of trade feasible if not logical in some respects, but I'm not retaining a big amount for multiple years on Binnington for just a passable return. As long as Krug is here, he's first in line for the take a large cap hit prize, and nobody else is in second. I don't want to stack up a bunch of dead cap. The1st could be useful, Casey could be a decent Faulk replacement in a while, but it's not enough for me to start digging a dead cap hole. And trading Binnington would likely have a bad effect on the team anyway. They might see him as the pope by now, he's saved their souls so many times.




Who else is nicknamed Snake?</div></div>

Was thinking blue fans might have given Jakub Vrana that nickname lol
