Thread: Hellebuyck Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rob32sjsharks</b></div><div>I like Ozzy but sharks have a lot of smaller forwards and Grier is pushing bigger so that’s why I added him.
Sharks have more LD and little to no RD so this could work! but the only big stay home LD that are NHL close are Knyzhov and Thurn both just signed and not likely to be moved, we have Guryev Cicek and Othotiyuk all decent but would say they are C grade prospects (bottom pairing/ 7D guys) the 2nd plus Spence would be a light and I would say the return would be FC with that offer. 5 mil a year for 2 years of a cap dump is a lot to take on!
And Hellebuyck is probably not the best option for you guys, I would look at Ullmark since Boston is in such a cap crunch and could be had for less Gustavenson from Min since Wallstedt is NHL ready and utilizing Fleury last year if his deal to be a mentor would be smart, or even Lehner from Vegas</div></div>

In future Kings 2023 ACGM I will do Petersen, Spence, Helenius, and a 2nd in 2024 or 2025 if I send him to SJS for a 5th/6th pick. Helenius is a monstrous 6'6" 20 year center drafted in the 2nd with 2 more years on his ELC. He fits the type of player Grier wants, and your timeline. The trade would happen after Petersen's 4 million dollar signing bonus this summer(after the 2023 draft), so it's only 7 million in salary over the next 2 years.
I see Bruins fans sending Ullmark to LA a lot since they were eliminated, but he has a full NMC so I went with Helluybuck instead. Gustavsson is someone I wasn't considering, but I just saw Fleury has a NMC, and we did the Fiala trade with them last year. Hopefully Minnesota would take picks and prospects again. I don't think Rob Blake will move any impact NHL roster players for a goalie this summer and instead would resign Korpisalo, or keep Petersen and pry that he improves.

Thread: Hellebuyck Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wojohawk</b></div><div>I would strongly consider the proposed trade with the Hawks once the Kings pay Petersen's Summer bonus. I think once the bonus is paid, Petersen should cost a pair of 2nds (in the mid round range) to move. I think this package is around that range. Late 2nd, Spence a pretty good RHD where the Hawks have really nothing between Regula and Rinzel (who is a while out), and Madden as a change of scenery 3rd peiece is not a bad return. I would prefer switching Spence for Grans and lose the 7th and call it Petersen, 2nd, Grans and Madden for future consideration.</div></div>

Sounds good to me! I rate Spence as the better prospect as a guaranteed 3rd pair NHLer with top 4/PP time potential. Grans is younger, bigger, and has an extra ELC year so I understand wanting him instead. I was lazy and put the 7th but it would absolutely nothing back AKA FC.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rob32sjsharks</b></div><div>Would you consider
Petersen, 25 1st, Spence
For
Ozzy Weisblatt, Strauss Mann and a 4th?</div></div>

We just signed Portillo, and Villalta had a great year in the starts he had in the AHL. I would expect us to resign him so Mann, a 24 year old goalie prospect, doesnt fit the timeline. Maybe an 18-20 year old goalie unsigned would work. Weisblatt would be interesting. If a Helluybuck/Ullmark level trade includes 2 of F**emo, Chromiak, and Laferriere we could want Weisblatt. Either to replace them on the AHL roster or be flipped in the trade for Helluybuck/Ullmark. I honestly don't see us moving a 1st at all in a Petersen capdump especially if it includes Spence. It would hurt Blakes ego too much to do it this offseason. Hypothetically if it was on the table we would want back a young big LD Defensive-Defensemen prospect on his ELC(better fit than Spence a RD offensive-defensemen) or the devils 2nd if it wasn't so complicated. the 2023 and 2025 3rds might work. Also why would you want to give up Ozzy Weisblatt? He seems like a prospect that fits your timeline.

Thread: Hellebuyck Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tkecanuck341</b></div><div>I wouldn't do it. Goaltender performance is too dependent on the team they play behind. There's no guarantee that Hellebuyck would be an above average goaltender on the Kings.

That is way too much to spend on one season of what could end up being average goaltending.</div></div>

Would you resign Korpisalo to a 4-4.5AAV 4 yearish deal, keep Peterson, or trade for someone else like Ullmark? The Kings were top 5 in xGA 5v5 last year so if Helluybuck is elite next year and the team performs again it should workout. I admit there is no guarantee both the Kings and Hellebuyck perform at the same level next year. The deal would probably include a huge extension but i'm not sure about the contract he would sign.

Thread: Trust the process no big moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>In between the time that you created this ACGM and published it, Erik Portillo signed with us for two seasons at $875,000.

Every single one of your RFAs are below their Qualifying Offers -- Bjornfot, Kupari and Madden, $100k below.

I'm pretty sure that you can only sign UFAs (like Gabrikov) for 7 years, and I don't think that we're signing Gabe Vilardi for that little even if we bridge him for a couple of seasons. For

The future is bright!</div></div>

You can sign your own players(UFA and RFA) to 8 year deals. I did a 1 year deal for Vilardi which is the only option to keep him under 3 million unless he qualifies for arbitration this yea. IDK if he does . Those qualifying offers are 2-way deals meaning 10% salary in AHL. The minimum contracts offered to the RFAs are 1-way deals(either way they need to clear waivers) to guarantee full salary in NHL and AHL. Kupari could get a 1 AAV deal or take the QO but he would definitely make less than Grundstroms 1.3 AAV. What do you think of at least trying a Fiala, Danault, Kempe top line in the preseason? If it doesn't work go back to similar lines that we had before the Vilardi/Fiala injuries.
