Hell yeah! As I say in every Hanzal-related trade thread on the main boards (seriously, look them up if you must); I've always coveted Hanzal on the Kings.

 

[SFKingshomer]

Be tough to beat having Kopitar/Carter/Hanzal down the middle. Hanzal could also take some defensive assignments away from Kopitar allowing him some freedom offensively. A lot of options upfront if we could acquire another good defensive center...Carter on Kopitar's wing even.

 

[KingsHockey24]

I'd hate to see Hanzal on the Sharks. He's arguably the best 3rd line center in the league.

 

[HeadInjury]

"According to Friedman, Coyotes general manager John Chayka is believed to be seeking a young player, preferably a center, in return for Hanzal."

Hey John, have I ever told you about the hidden treasure that is Nick Shore?

 

[lexlavender]

I would hate this. Can't help feeling the price for Hanzal is Dowd

 

[SFKingshomer]

Have to imagine Dowd would go the other way but who else? Dowd and McNabb?

 

[Bandit]

Make it stop.

Kopitar's been a pretty good 3rd line center this season.

Barf.

 

[Kingspiracy]

Isnt he always injured?

 

[theMajor]

Isnt he always injured?

came to post. has he ever played a full NHL season?

 

[Choralone]

Isnt he always injured?

That's the catch, yes. On the other hand, that's worth a discount in trade value, no?

my first thought coming in was this However would the coyoates trade him within his division and t what price ( there would have to be a add to shore)

 

[goosh]

Big pass. Third-line center who's gonna command big money in free agency. Would rather spend that money elsewhere.

 

[AlphaBravo]

The Coyotes would love to get Shore back in return. They are all into advanced stats right? Isn't Shore like a corsi god?

He's a UFA at the end of the season, they can't match the $3.1m he's making this year, let alone the increase he'll get in free agency, so he most likely wouldn't be a King beyond this season.

Which is why I mentioned Dowd and or McNabb who were are likely to lose to expansion anyway.

If Lombardi would get a UFA, then he's in for this season. I'm not sure the expansion draft would come into play first and foremost if that's the case. Landeskog, that would be a little different, he's signed. Look at what Lombardi has done before, in terms of a UFA deadline trade. He doesn't trade guys on the roster, so I'm not sure Dowd or McNabb would even be involved.

 

[Trolfoli]

Only if they include Old-Man Doan!

If you can get him cheap enough sure. Wouldn't want to give up Dowd for him though. By cheap I mean like Shore cheap.

Trade for Brown
Phoenix fans love him

Getzlaf, Kesler, Vermette say hi..Oh and we have thompson coming back from injury too.

 

[SFKingshomer]

Game 7 says bye.

 

[Trolfoli]

Remember that time Richards schooled Getzlaf in the playoffs then ended up in the AHL the next year.

 

[YP44]

This the rental type of deal I hope LA does not do...unless it's for Shore. I see Dowd as the #3 next year and Hanzal as an upgrade on Shore.
