Thread: Minor moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeterChiarelli</b></div><div>Lagesson's an NHL-ready top six defender with his only real drawback being Edmonton having two defencemen better than him that they currently aren't playing. He's an excellent bottom-of-the-roster player for the Kings to pick up, and acquiring Turris at the sake of an AHL defenceman is a win no matter which way you slice it. The Kings have more than enough cash to take him on and they don't give up much of anything.

The odds of that 4th round pick playing as many games as Lagesson and Turris would for the Kings is low. Really low. It's a fine deal for a rebuilding team that's still in need of NHL bodies for the rest of this season and for next.</div></div>

I can't see Edmonton moving Lagesson for nothing. They need 8-9 D-men if they are going to the playoffs and there is no way they play Bear and Bouchard like that otherwise they would be doing it already.
Especially considering klefbom's status is still unknown, Samorukov is injured for half of next season, Broberg isnt ready yet, and they will likely lose a LD in the expansion draft they need to keep every last dman they have.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wilbur</b></div><div>So I think I was pretty close, I am honestly not trying to rub it in or anything, I am just interested what you think of the return for AA. Thanks in advance (GR is loaded, so your team will be pretty good very soon).</div></div>

I think we were both close, I said 2nd and either Rodrigue or samorukov who were both 2nd round picks, so essentially we got 2 2nds and I asked for a prospect who was a second and another second. I see how you were also close on your side, let's just say we were both close for arguments sake.

As for the return yzerman set that price and Edmonton met it, after the deadline yzerman Essentially said that AA is a prima Donna and doesn't listen to people in the locker room to help him grow his game, he also said it would be really hard to sign him in the off-season, if all of that is true then I'm surprised we got what we got for him at all.

I'm ok with it, if you look at yzerman 2nd round picks, he generally crushes it, so give him as many draft picks as you can at this point, I rather have had one of the prospects with a 2nd but I'm ok with trusting him with a full rebuild. Hope this helps with your question.
