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

[tny760]

Expansion worries on HF are kind of like trade proposals on HF. People forget there are 30 soon to be 31 other teams. The Kings are likely going to lose either Clague/Strand or Moore/Anderssen, two youngish but not kid defenseman who have shown some flashes this season but are far from locks to be roster players whenever the Kings are ready to contend next, a bottom six player who has been excellent but is in his stone prime and has some very talented younger players to fight off for ice time in the next couple of years or a AAAA former Top 10 pick who has not come close to living up to it but still may be enticing for a team to take a shot on.

If I were Seattle I'd take Moore or Clague, and we shouldn't complain, other teams are going to lose way better players. As good as Moore has been this year, he is an easily replaceable asset.

i'd say it's less the worry about losing them, more the curiosity of the dance being done behind the scenes for me

like we're sitting wondering why the f*** clague isn't playing and i'm curious if it's just because they don't want to show their hand to seattle

Clague and Strand are both eligible to be picked by Seattle unless they are protected. The games played requirement is just a stipulation that you need at least 1 of those guys at each position to expose (Maatta, MacD, and Clague if he plays enough would qualify).

For example, if the Kings didnt have Maatta or MacD on the roster, they would be required to expose someone with enough NHL experience (for example, Roy). Thus, it’s necessary for LA to keep Maatta and MacD around to ensure they dont have to expose someone like Roy.

As far as the AHL shuffling goes, who knows. It doesnt change the fact that the Kings would have to protect Clague. Same for Strand. If the Kings were sending Clague down in order to cool Seattle off of him then that’s really shitty (for both the team’s success and Clague).

That hit by Ryan Reaves on Jordan Gross looked sketchy. Elbow was up and caught him in the face.

I’d love to see someone tune Reeves just one time.

Speaking of shots to the head..

tough one there, that's a big man hitting a very small man but that's also a hell of a lot of head contact

It wasn't just that. He exploded upward into the head

 

[DAkings20]

Reaves is such a POS

 

[kovacro]

Scratch Toronto off as a potential Iafallo destination.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Reaves is such a POS

Easily a suspension right there. All into the guy's face.

jeez 75% retained? i mean this is as golden of an opportunity as it gets for the leafs to get it done.. wish they put a bit more effort into shoring up their D and goaltending but hey. throw more goals at it. god bless em if campbell comes down to earth

 

[lexlavender]

If f'ing Nick Foligno gets a first, if we have to trade Iafallo we should definitely get more

Scratch that, I had it backwards. He only got a first because of the retention.

 

[deeshamrock]

Boston or Edmonton, but don't count out Papa Lou, he's sneaky that way.

Agree on the D, but I've always liked Foligno, he's the type of player who gives 100% every shift, he's smart and one helluva leader . which the Leafs need for a long playoff run.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Foligno is a GREAT pickup for TO, they definitely needed to get tougher and not many tougher guys that can tak ea top six shift.

 

[kovacro]

Deadline day could be a real dud especially if Hall gets dealt this evening.

THey usually are. They have a plethora of talking heads sitting around for hours...with not much to comment on.

 

[Kingspiracy]

Reaves is such a POS

That response from zona is pretty sad, ok hes a bit tough guy, but you gotta at least pretend to be riled up from behind the ref

Thankfully, Sportsnet coverage starts at noon. Not sure about TSN.

 

[Johnny Utah]

If Reaves doesn't get suspended he might have to answer MacD tomorrow.

Also look for BL vs either Stevenson or Carrier.

 

[kovacro]

Sharks to help facilitate Hall trade?

 

[Bandit]

Boston or Edmonton, but don't count out Papa Lou, he's sneaky that way.

“Hard work” trading a guy signed to a 1 year deal? Ok.
