Thread: Carolina Fans -- My Thoughts in Description
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PuckLuck_77</b></div><div>You're a little outdated on your value estimation on Martinez. From the Athletic's Craig Custance yesterday:

" 3. Alec Martinez, Los Angeles Kings – There are a bunch of teams looking for defensemen – Carolina, Vegas, Toronto, Winnipeg – and Martinez is an attractive option. He’s playoff experienced. He’s reasonably priced. He’s a left-shot who can play on the right side. He has a year left.
What gets it done? One source suggested it may not include a first, but the Kings could expect two seconds and a prospect in a possible package. There’s not a lot of supply on the top-four defenseman market.
“There are probably at least eight teams going for a defenseman,” said an executive. “How many are out there? There’s going to be teams left without one.” "

That's the basis of where I started for this. With retention, taking back salary, and sending the LAK pick the other way, I upped the two second round picks to a 1st, which I thought was fair. Tieksola is ranked #15 on Scott Wheeler's list of Carolina prospects. It's not like I'm asking for Dominik Bokk.

But either way, thanks for your feedback.</div></div>

You also have to take into account that because there are so many teams looking at Martinez, he will go to the highest bidder. A team could consider sending a 1st if they are that desperate for a solid defenseman. Cough cough Capitals😬

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PuckLuck_77</b></div><div>I think "underlying numbers" have to be taken with a grain of salt when looking at anyone on the LA roster. Pretty much everyone has done better away from the team, key examples being Pearson and Kovalchuk. Granted, those aren't defenseman, but Muzzin has done pretty well for Toronto, being their one stable defender. I disagree with saying his legs are starting to go. As someone who has watched nearly every Kings game for the past 10 years, his legs are close to the same as they've always been. He's never been a burner, but he's smart with the puck in his own zone, makes a good first outlet pass, and can keep up with the play. He would also be a great PK'er, and could sub in on PP2 when needed. It certainly would be an adjustment for him moving to a faster team, but I think he could do it.

I hope you wouldn't have to give up a 1st for DeMelo!!

Thanks for the feedback.</div></div>

Considering the Kings have been very bad for quite sometime now, you might be able to add McNabb to that list of examples. Well said👍

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tkecanuck341</b></div><div>According to the stats, the Kings have a better than 50% chance that one of the two draft picks they acquired will become a NHL regular and a 10% chance that both will. Couple that with the two 3rd round picks they already have in those drafts, and the Kings are now statistically "guaranteed" to get a NHL caliber player out of the 3rd round.

Come on dude get real... There's never any guarantee a player will actually turn into an NHL player especially in that round. You're not that stupid are you?

Thread: (TOR/LAK) - Moore, 2020 3rd round pick, Conditionial 2021 3rd round pick for Campbell, Clifford
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Spanky227</b></div><div>if it didn't have the conditional 2nd idk if it would have.. but a 2nd, 3rd and bottom six player for a 28+ backup goalie with less than 60 games played is a pretty hefty price.. i thought it was a pretty fair trade until the condition came out.. if it gets met it'll be an over-payment by the leafs (although the trade does fill a need and that's what happens when you push for a cup)</div></div>

Considering those 3rd round picks may never make the NHL and what Clifford means to the Kings I still say it's a bad trade for the Kings. Clifford was our heart and soul guy along with Doughty. You guys could of had Campbell for free, he sucks.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Random2152</b></div><div>No idea on Freddy but you will love Moore. He is 4th liner who brings energy to the 4th line and outworks everyone on the ice. He hasn't done much more than be a guy since last playoffs (he was a beast) but overall he will be a nice add for your bottom 6. He can play up the lineup on a skill line in the event of an injury too.

Also a hometown kid so thats always fun

Also this is the highlight of his career so far. It is beautiful:hearteyes

So basically a Kyle Clifford, but not as good and only 3/4 years younger? Stupid trade for the Kings good for the Maple Leafs...
