Value of: Kopitar to St. Louis Blues

[TK 421]

To everyone saying Kopitar is too costly, what about Carter?

Carter is a more realistic target depending on the ask.

 

[Little Psycho]

I'm a Kings fan and I'm being realistic about our team's situation. Just seeing if there's interest.

We are all being realistic. Toffoli, Peasron, and Carter can be traded for the right price. Doughty most likely will not sign here. Others will be traded before Kopitar and rightfully so. There's not gonna be much left if we get rid of Doughty and Kopitar.

Not having much left is what a rebuild means. The plan is to start fresh.

the king fan base is so bipolar we improved last year without Jeff carter for most of the year We were sweep in the playoffs with most of our defense gone and lost every game by one goal A full year from Carter and having kids improve adding Vilardi to the line is all that needs to happen this full rebuild imo is not needed

Carter doesn't fit age-wise with the direction the Blues are moving. They want a core to move forward for the next 3-5 seasons. I think there would be better options to look at in a closer age range with similar cap hit. Not a dis on Carter, there just are will better options.

As long as his wheels are still good, I don't think the age should be that much of a concern. As I mentioned before, he's only owed $12M in real money over the last 4 seasons of his deal, which means more to the Blues than most teams. He is a RHS, can still play center as far as I've seen, can play RW when not at C, so if he can still play fast he absolutely fits what we are trying to mold our team into. Cost and availability? That's another question.

What would LA want in return for Toffoli?

 

[TheBluePenguin]

I would love to get Kopi on this team, but alas, tis but a dream

 

[BangarangxRufio]

Tarasenko and Kopi on a line together would be insane.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Tarasenko and Kopi on a line together would be insane.

And it almost happened. If only the Kings didn't f*** up at the 2010 draft...

 

[Nodoughtyboutit]

What would LA want in return for Toffoli?

An upgrade at the wing

 

[Hockeyholic]

Thomas kyrou barbashev 1st maybe something else as well.

Likely add Parayko

 

[Index]

Kopitar is not available. Maybe if Drew chooses to leave but until then not a chance.

Drews not going anywhere

 

[Captain Creampuff]

I'd give just about anything the King's would ask for but no idea why they would move Kopitar of all the players on their team.

ah man... this is going to be a lonnnnngggggg summer

i feel some habs fans are circling around the Kings roster page on tsn, prepping up a few amazing proposals

Kings fans, best to just log off until october lol

wow its finally happened i can agree with one of ur post I knew eventually it would happen lol but i totally agree with the last line of this post

 

[KingPuckChoo]

a team composed of a

Jennings winner in Quick
Selke nominee in Kopitar
and a potential (but certain) Norris nod for Doughty

yet all i read is REBUILD! REBUILD! REBUILD!

fact remains, LA can take on most teams from the Eastern Conference, and some teams from the Central Division

we are brutal against the Pacific, doesn't mean this team sucks

but it does mean that we need a good retool to compete within our own division

Kopi is staying

 

[rent free]

Likely add Parayko

Kings don't need defence.

Lol, I see they are circling around you guys now, too! Like Sharks in a feeding frenzy. Sorry, no Vilardi or Thomas to Montreal!

no, that is what the Oilers rebuild mean

 

[PatrikOverAuston]

Kings could reload in a real hurry by trading:

Kopitar and Martinez for Parayko, Thomas, Kyrou/Thompson/Kostin, STL 1st ‘19

Doughty for Liljegren, Korshkov, TML 1st ‘18, cond. 2nd ‘19 (1st if Leafs win the Cup)

Pearson-Carter-Toffoli
Kempe-Vilardi-Brown
Lewis-Iafallo-Rieder
Clifford-Thomas-Kyrou
Andreoff, Thompson

Muzzin-Parayko
Forbort-Phaneuf
Brickley-Liljegren
Fantenberg

Quick
Campbell

+ Korshkov, LAK 1st ‘18, TML 1st ‘18, LAK 1st ‘19, STL 1st ‘19

That is a stupid amount of young assets for a team rebuilding on the fly, and that roster could still be competitive next year if coached right.

Thats a huge no. Thomas, kyrou are off the table. Parayko is not being traded Un less we get a young center with term.

STL says no

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

He will not be moved.

 

[Colt55]

Thats just to much to bare especially with how thomas is tearing up the playoffs and kyrou being best player in the ohl this season.
