Thread: Flame away
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div>Good take. I figured Jensen was the centerpiece of the Washington deal. Best penalty killer on Detroit and Washington teams, and an okay #4D with a right shot. 2RD are more scarce than 2Rs right now, and if the cap stays flat again next year, having Jensen locked up cheap for a little bit might allow the Leafs to ice the same top-four on defense for two years in a row, for the first time in I don't know how long. That along with adding Jensen and Pietrangelo could really reduce the workload their goalies face, making an athletic star goalie like Andersen into a luxury.

Do you think LA considers Kerfoot, Engvall, and a 2nd? If the Leafs, realistically, can get a late 2nd from Ottawa, they could flip that and a couple of established players to get a starting goalie who's still cheap this year?

eta: Oshie's from a Washington, but it's not Washington DC, and it might want to pick him next summer: <a href="https://www.quanthockey.com/nhl/us-state/nhl-players-born-in-washington-career-stats.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://www.quanthockey.com/nhl/us-state/nhl-players-born-in-washington-career-stats.html</a></div></div>

Kings don’t want any of that, even your first probably won’t work. He’s been groomed for this role for like 4 years, there is no one else nhl ready.

Thread: Islanders
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bf3351</b></div><div>I'd be fine with Hainsey via FA. I'm not even a bug fan at all of taking both Leddy and Komarov for a 1 year need. Bjornfot will be ready soon and we will be stuck with Leddy and Komarov. Which won't be big deal we can flip Leddy for a 2nd 50% retained the next season and buy out Komarov but I still don't really care for it. Its just an easier way to make Isles ACGMs lol</div></div>

Same thinking here, I don't love it, but it makes sense. But if we somehow turn $10M of cap space into a 1st and a decent winger prospect or defensive prospect, I have no problem reupping Hutton until Bjornfoot is ready. Just looking at all the ACGMs cap space is a worry for teams and if we can just turn a big chunk of dead cap space for the next two-three years into high picks I'm all in.

Thread: Drew
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DDCRAVEN</b></div><div>No way the Kraken would take Doughty IMHO. That contract is an albatross. Only way to move it is with a deal similar to this one. This offer at least gets the Kings a great young, fast player in return, with some experience to play with all their kids. Marner's contract is huge too, but it is not an anchor like Drews.</div></div>

Actually I think he's NMC so I don't think he even can be grabbed. But either way, there is no rush for the Kings to move this contract until they are truly competing, we have one of the lowest cap hits in the league, and don't have any elite players with contract reups until three years from now. If we need to make a move, we'll do it years from now and keep Byfield/Stutzle. Not to mention the Kings can use this cap space to their advantage over the next few years to keep bolstering our youth movement.
