Thread: Stockpile draft picks even further

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Artman91</b></div><div>The starting goalie isn’t a opinion. It’s pretty clear who’s the starting goalie in LA. You are not even a Kings fan. There’s a lot of things you are lacking. I can almost guarantee you that if Quick is traded, he is retiring. And you compare this to what Calgary did. LA is not in the position Calgary was. Calgary lost their second best player, they had to clear cap to sign Kadri to make up for a roster loss. LA is not in that position. We are not gonna lose anyone we just need to clear 1 million in cap space. If we clear Quicks cap space what good is it gonna do for us??? Rob Blake isn’t planning on making any major roster changes until deadline. During deadline a lot of cap because available. Rob Blake isn’t stupid to give up a good goalie plus a 1st rounder. That’s hilarious you want a first round pick for a goalie that still plays good and only has one year contract left. At this point it isn’t a opinion, it’s stupidity on what you’re saying. So if Peterson gets injured what happens then??</div></div>

Dude, you sound triggered. Relax. I happen to like Petersen. If I’m Blake, I use the cap space to add to your depth at other positions. You disagree. Fair enough. Moving on.

Thread: Stockpile draft picks even further

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Artman91</b></div><div>There’s a fine line difference between your #1 goalie vs a washed up center. You can’t compare Quick and Monahan. We would never give anyone a pick with it especially. So what you’re saying is completely wrong and not even comparable. We don’t need to “clear” much cap space. We are only short by approximately 1 mil. So in your theory, we have to give up our #1 goalie who we still rely heavily on, plus give you 1st rounder just to save 1 million in cap where we can easily create the space elsewhere??</div></div>

We have a difference of opinion on who your number one goalie is. People are allowed to disagree. Moving on.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rob32sjsharks</b></div><div>Fair, but Reimer was very good on a very weak D team with a cheaper contract, and that would be appealing to Vegas, Hill was the weaker of the 3 last year but is also 25 and worth keeping around this season after dealing a Goalie prospect and a 2nd for him last year. Kahkonen is the Starter in SJ unless he falls apart.</div></div>

I agree Reimer could have value to another team if San Jose is considering moving him. Figured they wanted to keep him though given his season last year. Pretty much the perfect backup in that situation I had thought.

Thread: Stockpile draft picks even further

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rob32sjsharks</b></div><div>I think the plan from Grier was to wait till a team or two had a goalie injury and might get desperate to save their season. Vegas is just that right now and there will be 1-2 more. Expect to see Reimer or Hill dealt by the start of the season, if not sooner.</div></div>

Fully agree. But whoever the worst of the three is won’t have much value. My sense of last season was that Hill was the worst of the 3. Vegas needs a quality starter as their aspirations are still to win a cup. Someone like Varlamov is the type of keeper they’re likely targeting via trade.

Yes, and when he returns he comes off LTIR. The year could easily start like that in his case though. I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets moved though. A fresh start could be positive for him, especially in a place that’s less of a media pressure cooker.

Do you find how LTIR works complicated?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rob32sjsharks</b></div><div>these are all crazy! why would san jose pay a :rd to move a goalie on a cheap deal who we paid a 2nd for last year? this makes zero sense. sam with LA deal, quick was a good goalie last year and his deal is reasonable for a starter level goalie, you’d have to give up picks for both not get them.</div></div>

One of the 3 Sharks goalies clears waivers. You can’t keep ‘em all. You’d be better off with $2mm + of cap space than an overpaid G on your AHL team. No one has cap space right now. A valuable commodity to help improve the overall depth of your skaters and allow you to keep your quality young players up with the big club.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Artman91</b></div><div>Why would the Kings trade Jonathan Quick in general? Yet we have to give you a 1st rounder?

Unless you throw your 2023 1st round pick into this deal, this makes no sense for LA.</div></div>

Look at what the Flames did with Monahan. Cap space allows you to do other things that improve your team. Kings fans have a choice to either be forward thinking or to be nostalgic. GMs generally tend to be future oriented, which is why most fans would make for horrible GMs.

Lol, the notion that LA wouldn’t benefit from moving Quick. And yeah, he’d be the most obvious cap dump on this list. Kings have a vastly superior number one goalie locked up with them.

No one NEEDS to move LTIR players, but accruing cap space over the season is valuable.

Gretzky can be moved. You’re not saying anything. Evans has a different skillset than all those guys. He’s not going anywhere. Monahan doesn’t likely have a future with the Habs unless he’s good with a way lower cap hit. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s immediately shipped out as part of a 3 way trade. Or maybe Dvorak gets moved instead if we get value for him in return.

I'd rather keep Evans, he's got heart but he's a bottom six guy at best. Nowhere near Danault's value with the habs.</div></div>

The point is the Habs didn’t overpay Danault specifically because they had Evans. They’re not moving Evans.

Thread: Waivers

This is a good post. I also strongly believe that Hughes will use his waiver position to acquire one, if not two, right shot D.
Even if it means starting Barron and Harris, who don’t require waivers, in Laval for a couple weeks to see who fits our squad best.
Organizational depth at D is absolutely critical.

Thread: Drouin Fresh Start

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Taz</b></div><div>Drouin has better numbers, but he's not a better player. He isn't good defensively, cannot play physical and also he is susceptible to injury.
Also, Drouin is completely free at the end of the season while JP is not. JP is younger and still has a little ceiling margin.</div></div>

Susceptible to injury, yes. But also the better player. Puljujarvi isn’t good defensively either. Nor is it fair to describe him as physical either.
Drouin has performed well twice in the playoffs. Puljujarvi never. Drouin’s speed would be a weapon on an already fast Oilers team.
People laughed at me for repeatedly suggesting Kulak would fetch a 2nd rounder from Holland, but that was bang on, and also ended up being an excellent trade for the Oilers.

He was on the top pair with Ekblad last season on the Panthers, JFresh just released a stat on the best transition defencemen, you have literally no idea what you're talking about and this proves it.

Also even funnier is that you made a terrible offer for him and immediately put him on your top pair LMAO</div></div>

Look at ice time regular season and playoffs. Or watch him play. Either way. Not a top pairing D. Not on Florida. Not on Calgary. Not even close.
I paired him with Matheson on the Habs, his old D partner in Florida. Habs have a hole at right side D. That doesn’t make him a top pair D. Habs don’t have any top pair D right now. We will be focused on developing Guhle, Barron, and Harris.
