Hanifin for OEL just needs to happen.
You start to wonder then what's going on with hanafin. Potentially 3 teams in four years for a guy that has loads of untapped potential. Something seems...off.
How about Turcotte? Or of course Kopitar and Hanifin? Both teams are obviously heading their ways, Hanifin, Pelletier, 1st 21, 1st 22, 2nd/1st 23(cup win in any year since Kopitar has joined) for Kopitar at 8M?
Your out of your mind if you think you can get Kopitar. And we are moving the most recent #5OA pick (Turcotte) for Hanifin.
I'd like to get Hanifin but it would have to be the right deal and those aren't them
It was Turcotte + OR Kopi for Hanifin +++

No way we'd add onto Turcotte lol
What about Gabe Vilardi?
Kopitar is 33 and the Kings are terrible with little hope of competing for 2-3 years. I think the team would definitely move him for good young players.No plus is gonna get you Kopitar. Hes not being moved unless he want out which he doesn't.
And I wouldn’t do Turcotte for Hanifin 1 for 1 let alone add to him.
Hanifin would be nice to have but what Calgary would want LA won't give. The only way LA could get Hanifin is if Calgary has to move him for cap reasons.

Ehlers +?
Monahan + Hanifin
Calgary would never accept that now which is funny since both could bectop 6/top 4 players next season.Thompson and Montour for Hanifin
Something around Hanifin and Lindholm for DeAngelo and Strome has been batted around lately.
Ehlers +?
Monahan + Hanifin
I could see Turcotte or Vilardi making sense actually. But it’s risky for Calgary.
Turcotte and Vilardi are untouchable right now. Don't know what the flames needs are but they are not contenders.
I would offer Clague (LD) + Kempe and a pick or prospect if the Kings brass think Noah is a good fit. But we have the cap space to go the UFA route as well.
We don't really have much value on the roster with cheap contracts right now besides Kempe\Iafallo\Walker\Roy
This is completely wrong! LA management has already came out and said that they don't plan on picking high next year because they should be competing next season. Also the Kings have one of the best prospect pools in the league (definitely Top3).
LA management has also said that they are building the new core around Kopitar and Doughty as the veteran leaders, so they won't be moved at all.
Not being moved in a deal for Hanifin....
