Thread: Alec Martinez

Not significantly. A 1st round pick would be too much for Martinez if the Kings aren't asked to take back a salary dump or retain heavy salary, so I think a second is fair. The condition shown above is almost guaranteed to be met, so this would be a 45-50 overall pick, with a small chance of being a lottery winner.

Teasdale is a solid B- prospect and is expansion draft exempt. I don't think Martinez would warrant the return of a blue-chip prospect, but I could see the Kings asking for slightly better. Ylonen or Ikonen maybe, but they're not going to be able to ask for someone like Brook.

I think this is a decent trade proposal and probably the best we can expect from the Canadiens. The Kings might be better served trading Martinez to a team that would require them to retain salary so they could ask for additional compensation in the form of a higher draft pick or better prospect.

Thread: Three Goaltenders 2020-21
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Quick should be traded for some assets this season, LA should be tearing it down and moving out the old guard and recouping the best picks/prospects they can get.

If Seattle takes one of Campbell or Peterson then sign a backup in free agency or maybe by then a goalie prospect has mstarted to establish themselves as ready for backup duties. The Kings took Campbell as a reclamation project and have turned him around did they not? I'm sure they could do that again with someone else.</div></div>

The person responsible for turning Campbell around has left the organization and is now a professional goaltending coach in Europe. I wouldn't bank on that happening again.

Sure, if a trade comes along that blows the Kings away, I'm all for trading quick. However, the Kings shouldn't retain salary or pay to move him, and it sounds like there's not a lot of teams willing to give up anything of value for a goaltender on the wrong side of 30 with injury history and 4 years remaining on his contract. I'd rather keep him than sell low.
