This is a just for fun offseason thread guys.
HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION
In the preseason, Drew Doughty and Anze Kopitar collide with each other head first at high speed and both suffer severe concussions. Los Angeles regretfully announces that the future of Doughty and Kopitar's careers are in question and both will sit out for this season (at least).
In this scenario, I think it's safe to say that the Kings' cup window has closed. Now looking towards the future, Lombardi proposes the following trade to Kekelainen...
DUSTIN BROWN (40% retained)
JONATHAN QUICK
in exchange for
DAVID CLARKSON (50% retained)
SERGEI BOBROVSKY
Oscar Dansk
conditional 2018 pick
Conditional pick is 2nd/3rd/4th based on Bob's next two seasons. If he does well, only a 4th is given. If he fails to perform a 2nd is given. In between a 3rd rounder.
Why the Kings do it...
- Contract flexibility (!!!)
- Get younger in net
- Add a goalie prospect + pick
- Quick will be old by next LAK playoff game
Why the Jackets do it...
- Jon effing Quick
- Playoffs (!!!) (because of Quick)
Why both teams do it...
- 50% of Clarkson's contract is much more tradeable than either full contract, and 60% of Brown's contract is much more tradeable than Brown's full contract. By swapping the two with heavy/full retention, both instantly become more moveable in the future.
How far off is the value?
I debated over adding the pick in for quite a while. I feel like Kings would refuse to downgrade Quick to Bob without a pick, but Jackets would refuse to take on Brown AND add a pick. One side demanding a pick and the other refusing to give it, resulting in no deal.
Or I'm way way off. Just curious what people think.
