Insider Trading: Will Canucks make a deal before the deadline?

Starts around the 2 minute mark

Interesting that he uses the Seth Jones trade as a comparable since the Kings have a lot of Center prospects.

We have Kale Clague who is young and dynamic but more of a 4-5 defenseman. Also, Mikey Anderson(21) and Tobias Bjornfot (19), both rookies, are looking pretty solid on the left side of the first and second pair. If Blake does pull the trigger, it better be for someone of Seth Jones caliber and not just a decent #3 Dman. Kings certainly have the prospects as ammunition for that kind of trade.

The D is holding up lately but they are inexperienced. Doughty's partner is a rookie.

We'll give you Ryan Graves for Kempe

 

[IPS]

Not that I'm interested in trading him - but what would Kings fans be willing to give up for Sandin?

 

[SEALBound]

So are the other 30 NHL teams. What are they offering in exchange?

 

[ConnorMcNugesaitl]

Seems like that would be pretty hard to find. If I have that type of defenseman I'm giving him up for prospects even very good prospects.

They do but do you really want to trade Byfield for said D? That's what Seth Jones cost.... RyJo was already a 33G center.

I really like the Kings prospects and the Reign but I don't see any forward that valuable except Byfield.

 

[rubikscube]

We can ship you back a gently used Forbort

I think Graves for Kempe is decent value, but I have a feeling the Kings are looking to deal Kempe++ to get something more.

 

[Kupo]

Jack Johnson.

He may not be young, or dynamic, but he is a LHD!

 

[logik47]

Dynamic? Habs have Victor Mete that skates like the wind, sooooooooo

I'm guessing as a Kings fan you know more than me but I thought Clague had a higher projection than a 4-5? Also, isn't Bjornfot a young, dynamic up and coming LHD?

We also have Turcotte and Vilardi as lottery picks who are also centers and Kupari who was picked ~20th and Tyler Madden/Akil Thomas who are also decent prospects. What can Turcotte+Madden+1st get us? Even if that doesn't equate to a young Seth Jones, it's a pretty damn good package.

More of a stay-at-home guy with really good wheels. Offense is underrated but certainly not "dynamic". He looks very comfortable in a Top4 role right now paired with Matt Roy. That is why I say if the Kings trade for someone, it better be for a top tier Dman because we have plenty of young, good 2D, 3D, 4D types. No need for another 3D.

I think there could be a fit with Sandin given the log jam on LD still.. Although I assume that they move Dermott before moving Sandin. But if the trade filled a need for us, we are trying to win now. Not sure if the kings have any top 6 forwards / top 9 forwards with a bite to their game but can still play hockey? Preferably LW.

Or a center who can be our 3rd line C for cheap with room to go (Sandin for a young center prospect who can be a top 6 player?).

Thoughts?

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Ottawa seems to not like Brannstrom for WHATEVER reason. Not saying he’s available but not saying he’s not either.

 

[dogbazinho]

Canes still have all the D.

 

[Captain Controversy]

Dynamic LHD...hmm.
There aren't many of those in the NHL.
Oilers have Caleb Jones but he won't come cheap.

 

[Just Linda]

Jack Johnson.

He may not be young, or dynamic, but he is a LHD!

'Allegedly' a LHD

 

[NYR94]

Take DeAngelo and teach him to play left handed.

 

[generalshepherd141]

Lol typical media reporting. No **** the Kings would like a good LHD. Guess what, so would the other 30 NHL teams.

In other news, the sun set and water's wet. More at 11.

 

[Michael HOMERUNing]

Sandin and Engvall for a retained Kempe?

 

[Ygg]

Something around Brannstrom for Vilardi/Turcotte/Byfield, even it out with picks

You have to assume Sens will likely finish in the bottom 5 thus will likely draft one of those 5-6 LHD who are scheduled to be drafted in the top-10 in the 2021 NHL draft *coughHughescough*

Trying to figure out what dynamic means in this context
