You can see it on capfriendly. Literally every teams fans have posted a trade trying to acquire Kappy. If a fraction of real life NHL GMs are interested. They wouldn’t have to add.

Is Kappy in the doghouse, yes. But he undeniably talented. He super fast, wicked wrist shot, a decent playermaker, plays physical enough, and a good 200 foot player. It’s why the Pens traded a 15th overall pick and a “B”/“B-“ prospect for him just a year and a half ago.

He’s a .5 -.75 PPG player even playing poorly. That’s a good “floor”. Let him get hot for acouple weeks and he’s a 20 goal scorer again. A 20 goal scorer “ceiling”.</div></div>

I added the 2nd due to Garlands cost control over the next 4-5 years. Because I agree with you that Kap + a 2nd for Garland is an overpay, I had VAN sending a 3rd back in return. I'm throwing this idea out because 1) VAN wants cap flexibility and this can help provide that. 2) PIT may/may not have a long-term plan for Kap, and if not, Garland could slot in seamlessly.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TJTwolf</b></div><div>AA would be a guy who I think could be a really nice fit for the Avs but I don't see the Avs giving up Helleson for him, not as an upcoming UFA especially, and as far as I'm aware the Kings are pretty deep on RD so it's arguable LA are the one team who would prefer something other than a RD.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Yeah, as a dyed-in-the-wool Kings fan, this is wrong for us on both value and fit. AA is a UFA so Helleson is an overpay, and we're set on RD unless Cale Makar wants to marry a Hollywood starlet.</div></div>

Thanks for the feedback. I tried to give the best value for both sides, but didn't realize 1) Helleson has more value than I thought (not very familiar with COL prospect pool) and 2) LA was deep on RHD.
