From Minnesota, Boldy + Addison probably.

Yeah unless that’s Addison Rae Kings laugh and hand up

from a kings perspective what would be needed?

 

[QuitStaaling]

Turcotte would never be traded. Ever.

Addison Rae

done.

It's just the value, not saying the Kings would do it. A highly regarded prospect at a position of their need, and then a sweetener.

But I agree it's a weird offer considering LA could've just taken Boldy a year ago if they wanted to. Then again, they didn't know that they'd be drafting Byfield a year later.

What you offer for him?

DET's 1st this year?

LA gets Byfield and Drysdale, DET gets Turcotte

 

[Toby Flenderson]

Vilardi more likely to be traded. Especially since Kopitar is still good and on the roster for a while. Byfield/Turcotte are the future 1C/2C punch.

Vilardi for a D or W makes sense.

They still might not even draft Byfield and opt for Stutzle. For some reason.

unsure his value, was thinking something along the lines of Addison + Donato/2020 2nd. i know LA needs D just unsure if you need shutdown D or offensive D. Addison looks the part to play in the NHL very soon with quality offensive potential.

Id gladly take Vilardi off your hands if that is the case. Wild would welcome a right handed C with open arms. which do you need more D or W? we got both

plenty of rumors saying Stutzle will go ahead of Byfield which could also not be a horrible pick but still another C prospect which LA seems rather deep with assuming they pick a C 2OA.

I would gladly target Vilardi over Turcotte, as he fits in with our timeline better. My assumption was that he would be less available as he's a better asset than Turcotte.

The Wild have quite a few prospects or players that could be available. Personally I'd have no qualms about sending Dumba or Brodin, though their contracts and age don't really fit with LA. After them, we have Boldy, Khovanov, Addison as our top prospects, all of which project top-6 or top-4. The next tier includes guys like Firstov, Beckman and Menell, who could be top-6 or top-4 but not as likely. Donato, Greenway would be available.

We could surely come up with a package of Boldy/Khovanov/Addison+Firstov/Beckman/Menell+pick, which wouldn't give LA a super high end prospect anywhere, but would help fill in the depth chart at positions besides center, where they need help.

Kings should have no interest in moving high end picks or prospects. Keep all the pieces and make your adjustments once your closing in on being a playoff team.

Vilardi is going nowhere.

I personally think Stutzle projects much better at W at the NHL level because of his perimeter game. But that might be a minority opinion.

i dont disagree with you in that mindset at all, just the simple fact that we need C and with Kopitar still on roster, Vilardi and Turcotte already there and potentially Byfield/Stutzle, looks very much like youre gonna be loaded at C and could be fine with trading 1 to fill a need of your own.

fair point, if they go that route and leave him at W trading any C doesnt make a ton of sense for LA then.

I completely disagree with moving any top end guys during a rebuild. Keep them all one can move to wing if need be. Plus from everything I have heard and read 21 draft is loaded with defense. Plus LA young defenseman in the system are better then most think, it’s not a desperate need that we should even consider moving any of the top guys Blake has put together.

i agree they could do that and keep all their top prospects. im not against that mindset at all sir just hoping to steal one of them from you is all.

I hear you and don’t blame you for that. But hope our brass is smart enough to not make deals as you build, just build.

From the Wild it's one person and one person only...Kaprizov. LA isnt looking to move their top end talent without being overpaid and that's the only player I'd ask for from the Wild. LA is deep with prospects and doesnt want quantity over quality.
