1.5 year from Ufa or 2.5 like Chych?Would we put Cooley up in a deal for Matthews a year away from UFA?
If we are at the same stage as LA in our rebuild... Then yes for both

Different situation. Chych is 2 yrs. from UFA, so that helps for the playoff runs for the next 3 yrs.Would we put Cooley up in a deal for Matthews a year away from UFA?
What about Reilly?1.5 year from Ufa or 2.5 like Chych?

That's tougher due to age, positionWhat about Reilly?
With all that, I'm not sure why you need ChychrunYa think?
Spence - for the second year in a row is close to being a ppg Dman in the AHL and acclimated himself last season in the Kings
Durzi - for all his warts is an offensive standout whose defensive game is picking up while playing his offside
Grans - has been coming along nicely in Ontario for being a converted forward and has coveted measurables at 6’4”, 210 with a game reminiscent of Hampus Lindholm
If the Kings do anything well it’s draft and develop Dmen, Faber would be on the list if not for the LA-Minny trade and Kirill Kirsanov has been looking really good in that country but he’s signed for two more seasons.
We dont need Chychrun. We need a strong 2nd pair LHD who can provide shutdown defense and allow Durzi to do his thing. That would solve the problem.With all that, Ièm not sure why you need Chyrun
I have no problem with how you estimate the value of your players. You know them better then I do but it we want fair value for our players also. I am sure no one in this negotiation feels like they are backing anyone into a corner. Like you, we know what we have and we want fair compensation. If the Coyotes can't get that from LA, no biggie. We can look else where.We dont need Chychrun. We need a strong 2nd pair LHD who can provide shutdown defense and allow Durzi to do his thing. That would solve the problem.
We would like Chychrun. There is a lot we can do with him. We could make a superpair with Chychrun and Doughty and let them play 28 minutes. Anderson moves down with Durzi to 2nd pair.
But anyone who thinks LA is backed into a corner and our future depends on getting him and he is the missing piece so we will bend over is mistaken.
Yeah, Kaliyev is a very different kind of kid. Not like 99% of kids in hockey. I think it’s alright. What skeptics accuse Guenther of being is what Kaliyev actually is. And that’s pretty darn good.I like Spence quite a bit. Loved him in Moncton.
Kaliyev is so productive and I want to like him but he’s like the Kessel. Not really a bad thing all things considered. Just a weird dude.
Nobody seems to mind having Gostisbehere on the ice for this team. That’s usually a good time and we all have fun watching him play.Spence is 5'10'', we don't need another midget on the right side, we've already got Soderstrom. Can't have two shrimps on that side.
I’d do it.In this proposal we're only getting one pick. Maybe 1st + Kaliyev + 2nd is a better fit for what Bill wants?
It’s being reported today that Vilardi and a 1st was offered by Blake to BA last year and BA declined.I think the asset Blake seemingly “caved” on is Vilardi. We all know Armstrong wanted him last year and Blake said no. Now the trade is supposedly close and the only assets mentioned as untouchable are Clarke and Byfield. Vilardi makes sense to me.
Yeah, i would prefer Grans.Spence is 5'10'', we don't need another midget on the right side, we've already got Soderstrom. Can't have two shrimps on that side.

Yep. Vilardi has improved his value a lot. If I recall correctly, I did not want Vilardi, Durzi and a 1st near the deadline, but after yet another injury and surgery and uncertainty with Chychrun I did want Vilardi, Durzi and a 1sr by draft day. Now Vilardi has improved at it seems unlikely as he’s a key piece for LA’s playoff drive.Vilardi is on a 55 point pace while playing great two way hockey. The goal is for the Kings to get better, not a sidegrade.
Is Soderstrom a NHL player?Spence is 5'10'', we don't need another midget on the right side, we've already got Soderstrom. Can't have two shrimps on that side.
