Around the League 2020-21 Part 3, Trade Deadline Edition

[kovacro]

Leafs trade a conditional 7th round pick to CBus for Riley Nash and the thread is 9 pages deep on the trade board. Jeebus.

 

[kovacro]

Canes could use an upgrade on RHD and have a glut of LHD. I'd add to Walker for a chance to get one of Slavin/Skjei/Fleury - not necessarily in any order of preference.

I don’t think they move Skjei. Slavin is a stud, he’s not going anywhere. Could definitely see them listening on Fleury but, I believe he is expansion draft eligible so acquiring him leaves you with a decision regarding protection.

 

[Islcey]

Moore gets picked, we're gonna' have to protect him.

Here's a contrarian scenario -- Blake swaps Walker for a LHD and then protects 5D (Doughty, Roy, Clague, Strand, LHD) and protects Kopitar, Kempe and Grundstrom. Who is worth more to the Kings the D (Strand/Clague) or forwards (Moore/Anderssen/Lemieux/Lizzotte etc).

 

[HookKing]

Is he though? I mentioned this before...he is only 6 months younger than Amadio..

People rightly started calling out Amadio last year, and this year was his “last chance”. I don’t see how Grundy isn’t in the same spot next year? Which would mean he definitely isn’t worth protecting.

I don't necessarily disagree with you (hence the "not a no brainer"). Although if he "gets it" he will bring something that we don't really have (or much of) in the pipeline.

 

[Schrute farms]

Moore has been a nice surprise this year. But if he gets picked by Seattle, I’d have zero problems with that. Just stay away from the young Dmen.

 

[HookKing]

Moore gets picked, we're gonna' have to protect him.

Yeah, but at what cost? Is he really worth more than Strand or Clague?

Blues are dumpstering the Wild.

Colorado is dressing their 14th different defenseman tonight. Wow. Been that type of season.

Sounds like Dubnyk to the Avs. Scratch off another place for Quick, especially if he hadn’t played poorly last last 2 months. Pretty much guarantees we see nothing but Jones for the next two years,

Who wouldn’t be excited. Besides having a good club...

No state tax
No shovelling snow
No pressure because they have no fans, regardless of COVID

 

[deeshamrock]

So TB sends 2021 1st and 2022 3rd to Columbus for Savard (great pickup, he's a very good d who was very good in the playoffs,) and then sent a 2021 4th to the Wings for Brian Lashoff

 

[kovacro]

Could be a real nice fit with Barkov.

Assume nobody is taking on 2 more years for a 35 year old goalie.

With six weeks of consistent losing, the South Bay Cartel has guaranteed that.

My wife just asked me: “who is the guy that came in as a rookie a few years ago and tore it up? The one with the rapist mustache?”

me: Austin Matthews?

YES!

The only way Quick would have been traded this year was if he went undefeated.

YES!

You have a wife?

To be fair, I'm shocked any of us have a wife. Mine will see me on my phone and say in this real bitch mouth voice: You on the boards?

Yeah I'm on the boards! I've got to talk about how a 4th liner on a good team should be LW1 on the Kings haha

Afraid so. Not only a wife, but 2 kids.

Jesus Christ. I can't imagine the added responsibility of two kids and still watching this shit every night haha.

Salute this man!!

Kids are usually in bed before the first period is half over most nights. So usually the Kings are only down 1 or 2 by then.

I don't even watch this every night! Building up capital with the wife for when they are good again. But I let her know when I'm not watching this shit while we're watching House Hunters.

Jack Campbell wins again...11-0. Believe it was mentioned on the HNIC broadcast that’s a record for consecutive wins to start a season.

Congrats to him.
