Not sure the gap between the two is a Kupari.Well I guess he can't be worse than Colin Miller.
So what about Kupari + Walker?

Indeed Buffalo would have to add here. I suck at value. Probably a third, maybe a secondNot sure the gap between the two is a Kupari.
Well Walker is not principled. I originally said Risto around Kupari deal.Not sure the gap between the two is a Kupari.
If Kupari is the main piece I’m sure a deal could be worked out with needed adds.Well Walker is not principled. I originally said Risto around Kupari deal.
Kings have had some rough years, seems like they are turning a corner tho.Free Risto! I'd like him to get new start. I think he'll shine in a better team
Doughty is locked at 1 at 25 mins a night.
Roy is second pairing right shot at 20 mins a night and getting more as he evolves.
that means we need a right shot Dman for 14 to 15 mins a night. Risto is not that. He is a true second pairing 20 plus minute a night guy.
If you want size Strand on the 3rd pairing at 15 mins a night looked good.
it’s not worth trading a 1st for a guy we already have a place for. Find a left shot Risto and then we talk.
Out of all the prospects he is the forgotten man but has played well in the AHL.
Could be a guy they might part with. LA has plenty of center depth.
I’d argue you can move Roy down. He’s a solid defender but doesn’t have the offense of Risto.Doughty is locked at 1 at 25 mins a night.

Kopitar, Vilardi, JAD, Turcotte, Byfield, Thomas, Madden.I disagree, not a Kings fan but, he is one of your best prospects, better what Turcotte, ahead in development,
at this point, sure everyone knows which has the higher ceiling, but Alex needs to get there first
“Try.”Or just try and sign Jamie Oleksiak who’s better and don’t give up anything
Not sure about that first in a supposed deep draft. Could see them making that deal after expansion prior to the 21 draft tho.
What are Buffalo’s needs prospects wise?
Doughty can’t continue to play 25-30 minutes per game much beyond this year. Not saying Risto is the answer but playing time needs to be more balanced. Especially if he kings are eager to B a playoff team again. Having an exhausted Doughty heading into the playoffs isn’t the right answer either.
“Try.”
This comes across as some sort of foregone conclusion that signing Oleksiak would be easy. Buffalo has NEVER been a top free agent destination. Ever. And I don’t see this dumpster fire of a season making it any more appealing. And there’s a chance they get worse before better.
LA has the same issue with free agents.I meant for LA to sign him
LA has the same issue with free agents.
I'm not sure why LA needs Risto. I thought Doughty and Roy were in the top 4.
If a prospect like Kupari was put on the table I think it makes a lot of sense at least from Buffalo's standpoint. We desperately need help up the middle and Kupari looks like he could contribute as soon as next season.LA could use Risto.
But it depends on the price.
The Kings trading for a soon to be UFA sounds about the dumbest idea to me. Imagine moving some of the pieces mentioned here to have him walk as a UFA if he don’t like LA. This is the idiotic way LA use to run thing. Not to mention a RD is not a need in LA and anyone who thinks Risto would play more minutes than Roy is underselling Roy in a big way.
Size may not matter between the legs but it matters on the ice
