If Paul Gaustad can get a 1st, George Parros can get a 2nd......there are gms that will overpay for even the smallest upgrade.
Value of: Alex Iafallo to the Leafs at the deadline.

He's not a liabilty like Karlsson so his contract isn't a problem. He's doing great and continues to be apart of the Kings future.

Damn that one bro got dunked on for the Doughty comments lol
Doughty is having a strong season, I have him in my Norris top 5 like many others right now. It’ll be Hedman in the end, but Doughty is playing some really good hockey right now.

One of those happened in 2006, thr other in 2011 they are no longer valid examples
The Kings aren't looking to trade him at the moment. Blake has stated that he is working on re-signing him. He has also been pretty good about asset management and doesn't have the same weakness of loyalty that Lombardi had. Just have to wait until the deadline to see. Sure, Iafallo isn't really a first-line winger on most teams, but he has proven to be a good top-6 forward and while his value won't be drastically high, the Kings won't let him go for any offer, if it is not worth it then they will just keep him to re-sign.

Iafallos a wonderful complimentary player for Kopitar. His value on the Kings is intrinsically higher on the team than on the open market since he gels very well with Kopitar. He's a real solid player. It will take a massive overpayment for Blake to destroy the chemistry of the first line.

That "weakness of loyalty" came after 2 Stanley cups, Blake has no reason to be loyal to this group he hasn't won with them if he ever does I bet he becomes very loyal to that group especially if he wins more than 1 cup.
It's definitely interesting how people can come to exact opposite conclusions.
I would rate the chemistry of the 1st line as zero.
It could be that missing creativity in general overshadows the chemistry but i don't really see
where anyone from the 1st line can do those no look passes and finds the intended player.
Most of our game looks like throwing passes into open space with nobody there to receive.
It's really gainful to watch especially with a creative dynamo like Villardi and nobody able to catch up
to turn great playmaking ability into goals.
So i wouldn't mind trading Iafallo and try someone else. Fagemo and Kaliey getting better and better each game.
I also wouldn't mind, trying Grundstrom with Kopitar. We need a replacement for when Brown is gone anyways

There definitely is the game has changed A LOT in 15 years those examples are no longer relevant
I can't see either of those pieces being on the table for Iafallo. He is having a great season, however, he is on an expiring contract and will more than likely cost in the neighbourhood of 3.5-4 AAV to resign. I'm more interested in using the capspace on Hyman. I would love Iafallo, but the most I would offer is Neimela and a 2nd, or Niemela and Hallinder if picks are not enticing.
But I do get why you would want one of those type of prospects. IMO, LA keeps him and resigns him. He's young enough to be part of the solution there.

Wow, I've never seen a poster get ratio'ed so hard on this forum 
hard times for the EK booster club.
Iafallo is likely worth much more to LA than he'd ever fetch in trade. In general he's a pretty run of the mill top-six complement, like Tanner Pearson, but he's got a rare chemistry with Kopitar, and has shown year-over-year improvement ever year in the league despite a team that's been awful. Note Kopitar's got two insane production seasons and Iafallo (and Brown, naturally, but he's Kopi's siamese twin) is a common factor in both of them. His puck-hounding is invaluable.

Sounds like Hyman 2.0 That's a good thing

I had never even thought of that comparison but it's pretty tight even down to the collegiate record. Righty-lefty too but otherwise yeah, a guy that won't fetch a killing in a trade but immensely useful to the home team.
