The Ducks have Drew Helleson, Tristan Luneau and Noah Warren looking for learning time at RhD, so I don't see Anaheim as the place for him. And they'll probably get a veteran RhD in the off-season to bolster that side, too, so Timmins is doubly redundant.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jamathon</b></div><div>where do u think Robertson and liljegren moves to?</div></div>
You need to find a team with a need for a second- or third-pairing RhD for Liljegren. With Drew Doughty, Brandt Clarke and Jordan Spence even if they lose Matt Roy in free agency, that isn't the Kings.
Robertson is a harder case because there's a prejudice against him due to his size, coupled with the unfair perception that said deficiency has led to a susceptibility to injury. Frankly, since he's at the bottom of the pay scale (cap hit), I don't see why Toronto fans feel a need to get rid of him. The Maple Leafs need guys on minimum contracts.

Los Angeles has no interest in another RhD or an undersized bottom-6 left-handed forward to play behind Byfield, Fiala, Moore and Kempe and less than no interest in SDA.

Some version of Faulk for LaCombe seems reasonable -- what do Hayes and Strome have to do with this?

Because you're trading for him to be your starting goaltender. If you don't think he's good enough, don't trade for him at all. But don't trade for him, install him as your number one, and then whine that analytics tell you that you paid too much for him.

In the offseason
I don't understand the theory of trading 2 seasons of Evander Kane, who plays in the top 6, for one season of Reilly Smith to play #3 LW when the difference is a measly $125,000 against the cap. It's true that Kane has underperformed somewhat while with the Oilers, but he has almost as many points in 56 playoff games as he has this season and he's a particular nemesis to the Kings.

Not close to getting John Gibson alone. Lundestrom is more valuable than Berggren right now, Olen Zellweger has more points in 44 AHL games than Johansson has in 104 (never mind Pavel Mintyukov or Jackson LaCombe), and we won't be trading John Gibson unless a 2024 first-round draft pick is included.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SK101</b></div><div>I wouldn’t trade a top 5 pick for zegras at this point. Besides the jackets have Kent Johnson already so zegras would just be redundant</div></div>
An odd sentiment in light of the fact that if Kent Johnson plays in 70 games next season, he would have to record <strong>87 points</strong> to equal Zegras' production through 200 games. And that includes 14 games this season in which Zegras struggled with a groin injury eventually sufficiently serious to put him on the LTIR list for 6 weeks, 5 games at full health and then a 20th game this season in which he broke his ankle in his third shift (after two minutes' time on ice).
Another way to put it: Zegras has roughly 250% of the goals, roughly 250% of the assists, and roughly 250% of the points as Johnson in 133% more games.
Johnson is a fine prospect. Johnson will improve next season. Zegras at LW and Johnson at C would be magical. But saying that Johnson would make Zegras redundant is, to put it charitably, counter-intuitive and counter-empirical.

Pittsburgh, a team desperately in need of quality draft picks to build a currently non-existent prospect pool, is going to pay one of the three seconds and one of the three thirds they have in the next three drafts for two bottom-6 short-term veteran forwards, some dart throws and some monkey points?
I hope not.

Lindstrom has almost certainly earned a spot on the team, as have Groulx and Leason in all likelihood. No need to sign Lundestrom long-term yet.
No point in signing Perry or Toews or Stolarz.
Stamkos will get more money, almost certainly stay in Florida, and sign with a contender.
Roy will get more money and more term.

Hughes Hire me as Assistant GM Please
Welcome to CapFriendly! Sometimes, it's not too friendly.
Far from being "under-rated," Matt Roy is almost universally considered to be one of the two most sought-after RhDs on the free-agent market this summer (Brett Pesce being the other) -- so he'll be worth at least $5.5 million for at least 5 seasons to the winning bidder.
Contrary to Habs' fans earnest fantasies, which constitute about 95% of all ACGMs featuring a Trevor Zegras trade, the likelihood of Anaheim trading Zegras is the same as the likelihood of Montreal trading Cole Caufield. And spare parts and bits and pieces wouldn't land him if he were on the market. (FYI, since you're new to CF and thus probably not familiar with the dozens of such Montreal offers for him, Barron is a very good prospect but not that much of an upgrade on the three RhD prospects we have approaching the NHL to warrant a Zegras trade, Dvorak is of no use to us whatsoever and Harris is a redundant LhD. A successful offer for Zegras would almost certainly have to include one of Slavkovsky, Reinbacher or your own 2024 first.)

The only "rumors" that have been enunciated about Trevor Zegras have come from hordes of wishful thinkers on CapFriendly who realize what an addition he would be to their teams and have conflated his injury-riddled 2023-2024 season with the fantasy that he might be available cheaply. No credible reporter has asserted that Anaheim management* has ever even entertained the thought of trading Zegras, and the only "smoke" that might exist comes from the consumption of recreational substances.
* It <strong>is</strong> true that Pat Verbeek has admitted that a couple of GMs have called him hoping to take advantage of him due to Z's trade value being at its lowest point.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PuzzledActuary</b></div><div>Fabbri is a third liner, and paid as such.</div></div>
What team pays $4 million for a third-liner?!?
Most contending teams have only 4 or 5 forwards with cap hits that high. Division leaders like Vancouver, Edmonton, Vegas, Winnipeg, Colorado, Dallas, Rangers, Carolina, Florida and Boston don't have $4 million third-liners (unless you consider that Carolina's acquisition of Evgeni Kuznetsov bumps Jesperi Kotkaniemi down to the third line). Only Los Angeles has a third-liner that expensive. And that's without even raising the issue of his durability: even if he plays in every game remaining this season, Fabbri's first season is the only one in which he played 70 games.

I don't see one season of Robby Fabbri at $4 million as high on Anaheim's wish list. Trevor Zegras and Frankie Vatrano at LW this season (and Zegras and Cutter Gauthier there afterwards) makes Fabbri a third-liner.

Anaheim has no real interest in any of those three youngsters. LhD is our deepest position, Nathan Gaucher is a better prospect than Lavoie and Cutter Gauthier is a MUCH better prospect than Savoie, so that package plus a second-half first wouldn't be close to persuading us to part with Trevor Zegras even if Edmonton were in a different division.
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mm1010</b></div><div>Trade for a young center that even a rebuilding team doesn't seem to want!</div></div>
I can't imagine where this came from. Trevor Zegras is a teammates' favorite, a coaches' favorite, and a fan favorite.

As my esteemed friend <a href="/users/tryger" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@tryger</a> says, acquiring Saros is a fallback from, not an alternative to, re-signing Matt Roy, which should be the Kings' number one off-season priority. As Joey Daccord, Jacob Markstrom and Ilya Sorokin prove, having a starting goalie in the top 10 in both save percentage and GAA isn't much value if your defense is below par.

Modest but Better
Given the lack of depth in Pittsburgh's prospect pool, the Penguins might be effectively forced into taking that offer, but <a href="/users/jfkst1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@jfkst1</a>'s point is well taken: Pitt might want an actual NHL player at the top of that offer. Maybe replace Barron with one of your surplus existing NHL lefties?
Dallas has Heiskanen and Harley on the left plus one more season of both Lindell and Suter. I don't think that the Stars will invest those kind of assets in two seasons of Matheson. Bourque in particular seems like too much.
I don't see Dvorak getting a second in the off-season. That's the return from an injury-stricken team desperate for help at the trade deadline.

I doubt that Grundstrom and Lizotte will sign for less than their Qualifying Offers, so that obviates the acquisition of Sprong.
Los Angeles doesn't need a fifth LhD. Moverare isn't waivers-exempt, but he does seem to be NHL quality.
Travis Boyd would be a nice replacement for Trevor Lewis.
The Kings need Matt Roy more than they need Linus Ullmark, as good as the latter is.
