Thread: Pens trade Kings
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tkecanuck341</b></div><div>Walker &gt; Petterson IMO. They are roughly equal in skill, but Walker plays the more highly desired position.

I don't think there's room for Petterson on the Kings. He's not better than Bjornfot or Anderson. If the Kings are going to trade for a LHD, he needs to be able to play on the top pair.</div></div>

I agree, honestly, the only edge for Petterson over Walker is that he is LD and protecting 3 RD might be something you have to look hard at if you traded for and gave up assets for an LD, but yes, Walker is cheaper and I'm not sure he has even reached his ceiling. I really don't think the Kings make any trades, I believe it was your comments that may have convinced me the Kings may protect 4 dmen.

Thread: 3 way trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nikolay_Zherdev</b></div><div>As I mentioned I'm not putting anything down on turcotte im just saying nils value is pretty high as well he's looking like a top pair dman as well with an awesome nack for goals on the PP</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mike_Gartner</b></div><div>Never said a word about Turcotte.
Also, there is no shortage of successful Swedish defenseman in NHL history, so I’m not sure what you are implying. I simply said Nils is a bluechip.</div></div>

Please recall this text thread began from believing this trade undervalues Turcotte. I'm not trying to put Nils down either or indicate he will be a bust, simply that I would not be happy if Blake did a 1-for-1 deal for him if Turcotte was the piece that was given up. The selection of Worbo as AHL coach and moving him from college shows that the Kings are all in on Turcotte, and it would have to be something impressive to seem an acceptable trade this early in his development. That being said, I imagine Lundqvist will be an impressive part of the Rangers' future, as I hope Turcotte will be as well.

Thread: 3 way trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nikolay_Zherdev</b></div><div>nils is a blue chip and position of draft doesn't mean value, lias went 7th and necas and suzuki were much later yet there value is wayyy more than his obviously, nils has legit just been tearing up and breaking records in SHL U21. Im not trying to undermine Turcottes value bc he's gonna be sick but nils is gonna be a stud as well.</div></div>

I agree, 2017 draft position doesn't equal their current value. But I would still prefer Fox over Lundkvist if both have the potential to being top pairing RD. I think with Turcotte being drafted last year at such a high position and won a gold medal in the world juniors as a 1C, he needs to have a proven player coming back if they give up on him this early.

Thread: After further review
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ZiggyPalffy</b></div><div>SammyT and other Leafs fans seem to believe we could get Rielly for Akil Thomas, 2021 or 2022 1st, and a 2nd or 3rd.

I think the Nashville trade makes most sense for the Kings, but that's just me. At one point, Fabbro was said to have top 2 potential. He's not really working out in Nashville it seems like though and obviously Ekholm is on the block and he'd make a perfect short term partner for Doughty while Anderson and Bjornfot develop with easier minutes.</div></div>

If that’s all it takes to get Riley sign me up now. But It’s funny I’m actually higher on Ekholm being Doughtys partner and being a great short term patch and remain competitive, Fabbro could be legit, but we need more LD prospects.

Thread: Vilardi to TO
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AkiLumme</b></div><div>He's a 2C on a mediocre hockey team, not a 2C for most teams. Sandin is a year younger and he's a defenseman (i.e. longer to develop) playing on a team with a backlog of LD. I'm not sure there's a single LD on the Kings that would crack the Leafs lineup.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AkiLumme</b></div><div>Would be happy to swap out Lehtonen for Dermott.</div></div>

I’d take the Lehtonen trade, he’s going to be great and worth the wait.

Vilardi is a 2C on his rookie year is what is more impressive, and that has launched a basement team to middle of the pack. The only point Sandin might have had equal value to Vilardi was when his back was injured for a year threatening his career entirely. He’s healthy and nearly a non-tradable asset.

Thread: Vilardi to TO
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AkiLumme</b></div><div>General consensus is that Sandin is better prospect than Vilardi. Not saying I agree (probably close), but to add to a trade where you get Dermott who would play in the Kings top 4 and Liljegren who is a top D in the AHL would be a massive overpay for the Leafs. I could see a trade Sandin-Vilardi trade making sense but not on top of Dermott and Liljegren.</div></div>

The problem here is (1) Vilardi has already graduated and Sandin has not (2) That Sandin couldn’t beat out Dermott and Lehtonen for more ice time this season tells me he’s not ready yet (3) Vilardi is already a Calder candidate and eating real minutes at the NHL than Sandin (4) could you please show the prospect ranking list that has Vilardi and Sandin close? They have always been in different draft tiers.

I don’t want Sandin if I’m Blake, I want Lehtonen, Vilardi is the Kings best graduated prospect if a team wants him, it won’t be cheap.
