I'm not crazy about this trade, but I wouldn't get out the torches and pitchforks if it happened. Note that it more or less depends upon trading Sean Walker, or else signing Sandin for $1.5 million or less.

My wishful thinking is Walker for Sandin (we could add a 2023 third), or Walker and Spence for Sandin and the Toronto third.

I agree with you that this is the make-it-or-break-it camp for Lias Andersson.

Thread: Sandin

Lias Andersson will be on waivers once Arvidsson is back, I don't think Grans and Sandin are comparable,

Unlikely Sandin signs that cheap he's looking for $2.5M+

Also, Walker played a handful of games after a brutal injury, he's not even getting a 4th until he proves he is NHL ready.

That being said, if this was somehow pulled off, Blake would be amazing.

Thread: Oettinger

No reason for Dallas to trade Oettinger for a worse goalie who is also more expensive. Nothing against Petersen, but we r talking about two different levels of play here.

Thread: Trade Deadline

I like your previous idea better -- if we're going to trade Walker for Kulikov, better to do it now than at the trade deadline.

In any event, I'm not adverse to it in either incarnation.

Thread: Canes

Gardiner is healthy, can't be LTIR'ed yet.

Kotkaniemi cannot play on the wing, he'd beat Stastny for the 2C role. Stastny is pointless because Fast isn't playing 4th line minutes and Kase isn't being scratched.

Jarvis on the 3rd line shows me that you don't know a lot about this player. He's going to be the 1RW.

Canes won't put the SAT line together with a new 2C.

De Haan said after he was traded to Chicago by Carolina that he won't come back here because he didn't appreciate being dumped after 1 year.

Stepan won't beat out Drury who is NHL-ready.

Thread: Technically its still possible

I can't see financially stressed Arizona retaining on Chychrun, but substitute Walker for Grans and I think it still works and you have a little extra for Anderson and Durzi.

I thought about that, but the Kings have a massive logjam of prospects, especially at center. I think Turcotte can basically be a Vilardi replacement.

That's pretty much what I see Edmundson going for, but without the retention.

Thread: Still Room for Chychrun

The problem with this idea is do you really want to roll with: Anderson, Bjornfot, and Moverare until the deadline? We could be out of a spot by the deadline.

Especially if Walker is LTIR until around the deadline.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Racki</b></div><div>I feel like its not impossible to think Arizona would retain 2.3M on Chychrun's contract for the right return.</div></div>

I think the Kings would rather just wait. They can afford him in 2023-24, they just need a bit of time to fit him in next season.

I don't think there's any worry that the Kings won't make the playoffs next season, so they just need him to be on board in time for the playoffs. Not worth giving up an extra asset to get Arizona to retain for 3 seasons when the only cap concern is next season.

Thread: Chychrun Kessel

I like the value of this trade. Turcotte and Grans are top 5 Kings' prospects and the 1st rounder is good value. However, Walker is a fine player, but he's coming off a massive injury and he's already 27 which doesn't fit the Yotes timeline at all. I know he's in there to make the money almost even but if you want the Coyotes to take him back in this trade you'd have to add another piece, because frankly it helps the Kings too much if he's in this trade. Walker has been passed on the right side by Roy, Durzi, and Spence and moving out his money would be big win for the Kings, if he was healthy this would be a different story. So if he's in the deal I think the Kings need to add a bit more, be it another pick (likely a 3rd) or another prospect that is outside of the Kings top 12 in their system (like Simontaival).

But on the whole this is a fair trade, which is better than 99.9% of what you see on this site, so good job

Thread: I wouldnt mind this

Vilardi and Andersson require waivers to be sent down. If they dont have a spot in the lineup it would be smart to trade them in the offseason.
Also they could do better than Palat on the top line. Its not a bad roster you made but they can do better.

Thread: Kings 2022-2023

Only thing I disagree with, and its very minor, is that you probably don't need Deslauriers and Lemieux both on the team. They're essentially the same player but Deslauriers upgrade for sure. Allows Kupari or Grunny to slide into a spot, good stuff though!

I love the look of what you've constructed here.

Because I'm a generous guy, I'd give Anderson and Edler $1 million more each and Durzi another $750. But you've got room.

Yeah but same with Brännström in Ottawa. I think there's just too much of a logjam on forward and not anything on LD, so I thought I'd give something like that a go

I'd give a 1st and Turcotte OR Vilardi for Provorov.

I wouldn't give Vilard OR Turcotte + Grans + Walker + 3rd for Konecny.

No from LA.

Can not see Wings weakening their team for on player who does not fit needs. They need a #2 center and a LHD, not another winger.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Racki</b></div><div>I just don't see them weakening their team just to keep unproven Kakko.</div></div>

Just a thought that came to mind, as a CHI fan which maybe gives me some bias. But It's kinda funny how people hold Kakko up as this untapped massive talent and then talk about Dach like he is a bust, when Dach has quite obviously had the better start to his career through a lot more adversity.
