Thread: Eichel Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ZiggyPalffy</b></div><div>Turcotte+Vilardi&gt;Byfield.

Kings decline this and any package you can think of very easily. Eichel is definitely overrated. Very good player, but overrated. Has he ever got over 80 points? I don't believe so. When Vilardi reaches his ceiling, Eichel won't be much better than him as he has a similar ceiling to Kopitar. You can argue prime Kopitar is better than Eichel.

Byfield and a 1st is fair value for Eichel, but the package above is a massive overpay from LA.

The only player in the NHL that is worth a top 6 center who has 1C potential(Vilardi), a 1/2C/LW prospect(Turcotte), the 2nd best goal scorer in his class who also scored a goal in his NHL debut despite being 2 years away from the NHL(Kaliyev), a top 6 LW who hasn't even reached his potential yet(Kempe), and two 1st round picks who could be high picks is McDavid.

Again, Kings very easily decline. They are worse after making this trade.</div></div>

Did you just compare Vilardi to Eichel? Yikes

Thread: Ideas With our 1st rounder
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zmach</b></div><div>You better believe Edmonton is hot for Cossa. He’s been playing in their building after all! My vote would be to get a goaltender like Korpisalo or Kuemper and draft Cossa anyway.</div></div>

Then your plan is for Edmonton to not ice a winning team outside of the next year or two maximum. Korpisalo is not a good goaltender and Kuemper is a short-term solution. What do you do when his two years are up?

Cossa <strong>is</strong> 5 years away as of his draft day. He'll finish out his CHL games, three years, maybe take an ECHL year given that the adjustment from CHL to AHL is very difficult, and get a full year as an AHL starter. McDavid's contract is over by the time Cossa plays an NHL game. He's not a solution. Konovalov and Rodrigue - if you must have a prospect come up - are the best bets and even they're still a year and a bit away.
