Thread: if matthews goes

It makes no sense for the Kings to give up anything of value for Matthews. He's going to sign wherever he wants to play as a UFA. If that's in LA, then the Kings can sign him in the summer without giving up any assets. If it's not, then there's no reason to give up anything of value for him.

Thread: Trading Dubois

If we can re-sign Vladi Gavrikov, we won't need Dillon; and if we can't re-sign Gavrikov, we'll probably look for someone under 30 (which isn't Dillon) with some term (which isn't Dillon).

Thread: A real deadline

I can see us making that trade if you replace Hirvonen with your 2024 first-round draft pick and drop the retention (or find someone else to do it).

Thread: I am Brian MacLellan

Why would Los Angeles be looking at an expensive UFA in exchange for the Kings' precious 2023 first?

Rob Blake has never been a guy with a short-term outlook.

Thread: St Louis Sells

Why in hell should we spend serious assets on 30 games of Ryan O'Reilly (plus playoffs), when our glaringly obvious needs are LhD and G?

Thread: Realistic ideal team after trade deadline Plz comment

Iafallo and Walker don't need "unloading." Iafallo in particular is a productive and valuable player whose contributions don't always show up on a scoresheet. Turcotte, the first and Grans should be enough future-oriented assets to obtain Chychrun; if not, I think that we can afford to pass. (And I'm really loath to give up our 2023 first after having given up our 2022 first in the Fiala deal.)

I can't see Vancouver trading Demko within the division.

Thread: Blow it up And this is how

You could move the third to the other side and we still wouldn't trade Matt Roy for Conor Garland. Our position of need is LhD, not RW, and Garland isn't good enough to replace Viktor Arvidsson when VA's contract is up.

Thread: flyers

I highly doubt that we would be interested in trading Matt Roy, and I <strong>KNOW</strong> that we have absolutely no interest in trading Gabe Vilardi.

The only Flyers we'd be interested in are the ψ guys.

Thread: Up next

Walker for Edmundson with retention is fair. Maybe we add a fourth. We're not adding a defense prospect who should be NHL-ready next season.

Thread: Sorry Muzzy

No chance LA does that trade. Durzi sure. Anderson isn't getting traded.

Thread: Game on

We have Anze Kopitar, Phillip Danault (of whom you may have heard), Quinton Byfield and Blake Lizotte at center, so why would we trade Rasmus Kupari (who can also play that position in addition to either wing) for a guy who is an expensive #3C (at best)?

You need to ask why the Kings won't trade a quality young RHD for a 37 year old LHD?

Counter offer of Calen Addison for Alex Edler.

Thread: Massive line

We're not giving up our 2023 first after having given up our 2022 first, and we're not paying a first for Edmundson. Some other team probably will (<em>see</em> "Chiarot, Ben"), but not us.

Thread: Iggwilv

I think that Los Angeles respectfully declines. It seems to me like our teams are headed in opposite directions, with Matthews, Nylander and Brodie expiring in 2024 and our team set for the immediate future with the exceptions of local boy Trevor Moore and fan/front-office favorite Mikey Anderson, both of whom are well within our budget to re-sign.

Thread: Leafs 2022 Trades Including Marner

We give up the best player in the deal (a top-6 RW) and a second-round draft pick in return for two redundant rentals (one of whom isn't as good as four of our RhDs) and a prospect, when we have one of the best prospect pools in the league?

I don't think so.

We'll ride with FIala/Kempe and Moore at LW and Doughty, Roy, Durzi and Clarke at RhD and hope that at least two of Turcotte, Fa-gem-o, Helenius, Lee and Pinelli turn out better than Amirov.

Roy is the one who actually plays defense. Walker Durzi and Spence would be traded before Roy imo.

Another troll post. To think that Los Angeles would pay those prices for Shattenkirk and Muzzin.

Thread: one more piece

Given our current roster, every trade Los Angeles makes from here on in has to be both cap-neutral and roster-neutral, and this trade is neither.

Dillon with sufficient retention for Sean Walker is about the only deal that works.

Thread: Montreal Going for the Cup

With Mikey Anderson and Sean Durzi to re-sign (giving us 7 defensemen) and 15 forwards under contract already (including the just-re-signed Gabe Vilardi), any trades from this point on will have to be at least cap-neutral and roster-neutral for Los Angeles, and this one is neither.

Thread: Bring him Home

Torey Krug is a fine player, and earlier in the off-season we might have been able to entertain an offer like this. But with Mikey Anderson and Sean Durzi to re-sign (giving us 7 defensemen) and 14 forwards under contract already, any trades from this point on will have to be at least cap-neutral and roster-neutral, and this trade is neither. But the team down the road might be interested in talking to you.

Thread: TML 2022-23 TML

The zombie Muzzin-to-Los-Angeles-in-spite-of-the-cap trades never stop . . .

Fortunately, the Kevin Fiala acquisition and Adrian Kempe signing have now made all Jake-Muzzin-to-Los-Angeles trades impossible. Pretty soon they should die out, as even Toronto fans will eventually get the numerical message.

Current roster:
11 forwards = $43.3 million
4 defenders = $17.5 million (Doughty, Roy, Walker, Spence)
2 goalies = $10.8 million
dead cap = $2 million
Subtotal = $73.6 million
Grundstrom = $1 million or more
Vilardi = $1 million or less
Turcotte, or other promotion from Ontario = < $1 million
Anderson = $2.5 million or more
Durzi = $1.5 million
Total = $80.6 million or more
Amount remaining for one LD = less than $1.9 million

So we couldn't fit Muzzin in at 50% retention ($2,812,500) unless you took Alex Iafallo back, which would mean adding your 2023 first-round draft pick to the offer.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac555</b></div><div>They will when they deplete their pipeline trading for Chychrun</div></div>

Even if we trade BOTH Turcotte and Vilardi in a Chychrun deal (highly unlikely), we still have Byfield, Kupari, Madden, Helenius, Pinelli, Anderson-Dolan and Thomas in the pipeline. <a href="/users/kingsfaninSD" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@kingsfaninSD</a> is right.
