[KINGS17]

Oh well, better than nothing I suppose. Was hoping for a 3rd round pick.

 

[theMajor]

word is that DL was going to try and keep him, too. crazy

 

[SlimCharles]

Good, free picks all day.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Kings will need to acquire a back up and no Zatkoff is not a back up.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Dallas gonna have a rotation of 5 goalies by the time the season starts.

 

[SlimCharles]

Kings will need to acquire a back up and no Zatkoff is not a back up.

I would look into signing Mike Condon, he seems to be a very solid backup. I would also be interested in Ryan Miller if he would agree to 2 million or less, but only under those circumstances. Chad Johnson is another FA tender.

 

[DryIslandBartender]

Bringing back Bernier next season. (E5)

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

So the net result of a former 2nd rounder turned into a 4th round selection.

That Bishop deal sure proved to be a productive deal, eh?

 

[BigKing]

Too bad it is Montreal's.

Still awesome to get a pick out of it. Still don't like the trade.

Got to give Jack Campbell a shot.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Got to give Jack Campbell a shot.

I'd let him simmer another year in Ontario then bring him up. He's still going through the Dallas baptism and withdrawals.

That's startling. I can't think a feasible scenario to make that work. You can't tie up 2 goaltenders making up 10 million of cap space with Toffoli and Pearson needing to be signed.

Was hoping for a 3rd, but a 4th is fine.

 

[kovacro]

I'm waiting for someone on the HF trade board to call Dallas giving up the 4th rounder "overpayment".

I guess if you leave the other stuff out, yeah.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

So a former 2nd and 7th for a 4th and a 5th.

Ah well, at least Lombardi isn't around to force the scouting staff to take more stiffs.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Budaj was also free.

 

[Brodeur]

It happens. I wasn't particularly high on Cernak going into that draft. Obviously it's not ideal, but I imagine there are a few teams that have buyer's remorse on their 2015 picks already.

At least it wasn't like spending a top 10 pick on Nikita Filatov and dealing him for a 3rd rounder three years later. I recall Yannetti mentioning that the Kings were hoping Paul Bittner would slide down a few more spots but he got picked #38. Bittner had 0 goals and 3 assists in 31 AHL games this season (I saw him play a few times for Portland and curiously they were using him as a center in Cleveland).

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Had they not made that Lucic trade, one of Matthew Barzal, Kyle Connor or Travis Konecny, would have been available for the Kings to select, and forwards on entry level contracts who'd be ready to make a contribution.

That shortsighted deal really did set the team back, didn't it? And man did the Bruins come out with a steal in the 2nd round with Brandon Carlo. Funny how their trades towards the future didn't hinder them from making the playoffs.

 

[BigKing]

I guess if you leave the other stuff out, yeah.

It is not a trade you make every day, at least I don't and most other people.

Now, if Cernak is a bust then it is much ado about nothing except for another failed 2nd round pick from DL and company.

If he is an NHL player (which he should be based on reports) and these picks turn into nothing, is this a "do every day trade". Of course not.

One in the hand is worth two in the bush. Just need to see if Cernak is actually one in the hand.

 

[The Tikkanen]

Bishop will shut the Kings down every time they face him next season. In typical fashion it will go from head scratcher of a stupid idiot trade, to the goalie playing like Grant Fuhr while in LA, to Bishop looking "resurgent" in Dallas. Take it to the bank.

Would be hilarious if he doesn't even sign with them.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Blake salvaged a head scratcher of a move.

 

[The Tikkanen]

Dallas is going to have to make some moves quickly. The rumor is Niemi will be bought out according to the guys on NHL Radio.

Most likely Futa/Staff picking the picks since probably 2012.

It's why you elevate a guy like Futa/Yannetti. The GM is not out doing the grunt scout work, and making the draft list.
