Except I said nothing of the sort. I said that’s Toffoli would return a similar player or draft pick based on HIS performance this year. In fact, I’ll give you my prediction: 1. A player around his age (24-28) who has less than 10 goals right now or 2. A 2nd round pick or 3. A 3rd round pick and a B level prospect. I’ll stand by those possibilities. What are you thinking?

No, but in terms of value, that's exactly what you said.
I've given you my list time after time, and I think a 1st (since it will be late) and a b prospect or a really good prospect and 2-3-4thish pick
That's breaking news? everyone who follows the Ducks even at a cursory level has known it since September!

I really don't think we're that far apart. The biggest difference is I don't agree he would just be flipped for a similarly-struggling player. And I think he's going to draw a higher pick, but also partially because I think he goes to a contender, so a '1st' isn't a top-10 pick we're talking about, it's practically a 2nd. Maybe a conditional pick?

Perhaps you are right. But the 2nd I had in mind would be a late one (55-62 most likely). I don't think he gets even a late 1st since there are so many RW that are available and are better options than Toffoli. I tend to agree that he isn't going to be a "change of scenery" type trade (but who knows). My most likely outcome is that he stays and Kings hope he rebounds next year. Can't trade the entire team in the course of 2-3 months after all.

Why do I get the sinking feeling the ducks are gonna out-tank us? Kinda like running up from behind and snatching the division on the last day of the year, but in reverse.
Curious to see what the return on Silverberg is, if/when he's dealt.
His numbers and Toffoli's are actually in the same ballpark, with Silverberg having the edge in assists but Toffoli is a year and half younger. Silverberg is also a UFA.
So not exactly a perfect comparison, but kind of close.
Toffoli 4/24/92

Silverberg 10/13/1990

The Kings would have to go 4-0, while the Ducks get 0 wins for another 4 games, to make it an even 15 in a row, to catch the Ducks as soon as possible. If the Kings play at their current pace for the season, it would take them about 9 or 10 games to get those 8 points. That would give the Ducks that much more time to win. Any OT point by the Ducks makes it a little more difficult to catch the Kings.
The Kings are on the road for 3 games this week, then sneak a home game in before essentially a full 2 week break. After the break, they go on a 6 game road trip on the east coast. That's probably going to be a decent amount of losing. Even when they were good, they could be very rusty. Now that they don't/have no reason to care, what will they look like on Feb 2nd? The Ducks will really, really, really have to suck. Even with 7 and 11 game losing streaks, the Ducks are still 8 points up in the standings.

The real kick in the nuts is they actually got a younger comparable player for their under performing vet. The Kings got an older mediocre vet for an under performing young player.

Two men enter, one man leaves.
I say if RJ loses, we send him out in the desert on a horse wearing a Kesler jersey and sporting a big ol’ head that looks like Corey Perry.

Blake has been frustrated by the surf levels and the drastic drop off in his beach volleyball skills.

I don't think tomd and RJ can let the rabble tell them to fight. They need an alternative solution. JK guys.

Problem is Robitaille and Blake are well-entrenched in the Kings culture of mediocrity.

Good article in The Athletic about Elias Petersson. 14 years ago the Kings hit on a player like this and it was the single biggest factor in the success the team had years later. The Kings need to find a franchise changing player in the next few drafts, much like Kopi was in 2005.
