Thread: hhhh

The Kings have the highest per-game goals-for average (infinitesimally) in the League, so they won't be interested in attempting to upgrade at forward in general or renting Jake Guentzel in particular. I can see them being interested in Tristan Jarry, though, if Cam Talbot gets injured (God forbid!).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GeneralLandro</b></div><div>I don’t think he is traded because of all the minutes he eats game after game along with being the most steady defenseman on our roster and a fixture since he was 18

I might be able to improve on this if I spent some time on it, but I might not, so I won't try.

Thread: Habs Deadline

Arizona seems an odd choice for the last two seasons of Mike Matheson's current contract, never mind the price. (I think that someone would happily pay a 2024 first for him, but I doubt it would be the Coyotes, with their three second-round picks.)

We'll accept Steeves and the third for Lyubushkin at 50% retained, although I hate to see Ilya go. What's Max Jones got to do with this?

Thread: TDL Defensive Moves

The Kings won't be the team that makes you the best offer for Sean Walker. Jordan Spence has that third RD spot locked down and Brandt Clarke will be ready in case of emergencies. And I can think of at least three teams that need Walker's services.

<strong>What</strong> stats? Schmid's GAA of 3.29 is better than Samsonov's 3.58, and his save percentage of 0.891 is better than Samsonov's 0.878.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Coachchippy</b></div><div>He's not expensive at 4.25 that's the whole point</div></div>
Twenty-five million dollars for 6 seasons, two of which are post-35, of a guy who'll play behind Pierre-Luc DuBois and Phillip Danault is VERY expensive without even factoring in Anze Kopitar's farewell tour.

You can make an argument for signing him as a free agent to that contract, but not if it costs Quinton Byfield, never mind the first.

Thread: Hmmmm

Kings have no use for a veteran expensive center whose contract expires when he's 37, especially at the expense of 21-year-old LW Quinton Byfield and a first-round draft pick.

No point to trading Ilya for that return, even without retention. It's not as if the Ducks have an RhD that's ready to step up into his place.

Thread: Bear with us

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GeneralLandro</b></div><div>It isn’t horrible

I’d ask for $1,950,000 retention on Garland’s contract though</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Vancity2196</b></div><div>That makes sense if you look at it.</div></div>
I'd go a little further -- rather than $3.75 million (or more) spent on three years of retention on Garland, I'd ask for $2 million on Myers for the one season left on his deal, as additional retention on him could make him VERY attractive to another team for an additional asset. Note that this doesn't cost either Vancouver or Anaheim anything in real money.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>That's something like 7.5 million in retention, and occupying a spot for four years. The going rate is a 25 1st to clear out 6 million dollars.</div></div>

Hey, if you don't want Gibson that badly, that's fine -- it's a seller's market for him, not a buyer's. Anaheim has no real motivation to get rid of him unless the return is highly appealing. As I believe that your fellow Devils fan, the esteemed <a href="/users/NHLfan10506" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@NHLfan10506</a>, has pointed out elsewhere, the number of goaltenders with term traded in the cap era is one.

Thread: Gibbyyyy

I don't think that there's any motivation for the Ducks to trade John Gibson unless they get a first-round pick or the equivalent out of the deal. He solves the problem in goal for the next three seasons at a reasonable price.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jumpanator</b></div><div>The Flames had 4 upcoming UFAs to trade, but only 3 salary retention slots are allowed per team. By moving out Zadorov and not having to retain salary, they can easily retain on their remaining 3 UFAs.</div></div>
Agreed. I had heard that the reasons for the hard line were financial, not front-office-based.

If the Flames were unwilling to retain on Pia Zadorov, what makes you think that they would retain on Tanev?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tryger</b></div><div>Danault is part of the Selke conversation for multiple years, the Selke is illustrative of some of the league's best 2-way centers. I believe that is a fair illustration of being one of the leagues better 2-way centers.

I don't mind that you don't find value in him, but he has legitimately been a top-10 Selke finalist 4 years of his career, taken a team to the cup finals, efficent in the faceoff circle, and one of the better playmakers in the league (for instance his winger Trevor Moore is on a 44 goal pace). I don't see Riley Smith as a close comparable, Danault is basically Kopitar lite which is why he fits here so well.</div></div>

Thread: Only an idea

If Willie Nylander is going to sign with us during the season, why wouldn't he sign with us in the off-season? It's not as if he's going to carry us into the playoffs.

Adding Nylander as a free agent (emphasis on "FREE") in July makes a lot more sense than expending three prime assets for three quarters of a season of him now.

However, <strong>Toronto's lack of 2nds complicates things</strong>, and we don't want to wait a significant amount of time to use that 2nd. So at that point you're talking about a third and a really good prospect, or <strong>a 1st and we send a mid round pick with Henrique</strong>.</div></div>
