Whoa… if true

 

[Grimes]

Ok now I'm getting very excited

 

[rt]

Wooohooo!

 

[Prestigeworldwide]

I never would have thought Clarke or Byfield would be involved. If BA gets a first in addition he gets a statue.

 

[PainForShane]

Clarke + 1st (any year) + cap dumps to infinity = more than enough for me. Imo would be insane if BA was able to pick up Clarke or Byfield in this trade

 

[rt]

If we get Clarke we have to get Fantilli or Bedard. I want them and Guenther all on this team opening night. The golden boys.


How would this even work?

To LAK
Chychrun
Vejmelka (retention)

To ARI
Peterson
Walker
Kupari
Clarke
Picks

I know some were down on Clarke's WJC but this was a nice read.

Clarke is a nice piece but I don't like that "centered around" lingo, here's to hoping he's replacing a '24 1st

 

[Grimes]

Not sure how credible he is but this would make more sense if Clarke is a piece

 

[rt]

Clarke would be inside my top ten for this draft, probably. He’s probably be the first D off the board for me.

He’s followed by all the hipster Twitter scouts.

 

[Prestigeworldwide]

Man this team is gonna be loaded in another year or two. I love that it is a elite defensive prospect coming back.

 

[moosemeister]

Boner.

 

[DoanStopBelievin]

My guess:

Chych (50% retained)
Veggie

for

Clarke
Turcotte
2023 1st (T-10 protected)
2024 1st
Peterson

Boner.

hard if true

 

[Dr Quincy]

At what point do we say that we have enough centers in the pipeline? Cooley, Hayton, McBain, Boyd, Bujgstad, (‘23 top 3 pick)?
I would like to shore up the defense and goalie situation more than I want a 2C for Chick.

None of those are likely true #1Cs.

 

[Jagged Ice]

King's fans so pissed off about Clarke that they think this is going to be the trade-
Chychrun + Veggie
for
Clarke + Peterson

Sorry LA fans, but it's supposed to hurt and that doesn't hurt. You're giving up a lot more than that.
Ha!

 

[FinnishCoyote]

Keller
Schmaltz
Maccelli
Crouse
Hayton
Moser
Guenther
Cooley
Geekie
Maybe Clarke
Maybe LA 1st
Our 1st
Crazy amount of picks in rounds 2 and 3 in the near future


That’s starting to look pretty good

One thought Chych and Veggie for Clarke, Peterson, and Walker lol.

 

[Matias Maccete]

If BA pulls Clarke plus 2 1sts for Chychrun and veggie I'll shit. I doubt it highly, but I'll shit. Also how credible is that rando who tweeted goalie swap? Seems like an Internet scout and not an insider.

 

[PainForShane]

None of those are likely true #1Cs.

Cooley's not a likely true #1C?

It's like... We know what you want the trade to be but let's use our heads here. How dumb.

The 'maximum value' scenario out there for Chych involves taking Peterson. I can't think of a more odorous dump. LA has the absolute need for Chych and Veg, as well as all the assets to pull it off.

Considering you'd need a 1st and a 2nd just to dump Peterson, the return better be spectacular.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

If it’s Clarke, we’ve seen the last of vejmelka

 

[che]

Clarke would be f-in great.

We'll see tomorrow I guess.

 

[XX]

Conservatively:
Chychrun - two firsts
Veg - late first
Peterson dump - first, second

If they go in the same trade then two firsts plus a bonafide bluechip would be the minimum acceptable return IMO.
