Dreger: Kings looking for a young dynamic LHD

[JKG33]

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*

Maybe I'm underrating him, but I would hope the Kings can do better than Brannstrom for one of those 3.

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.

Not Seth Jones that's for sure. I mean.. if you had young Seth Jones would you take the above package? This 1st is weak draft year and who knows where the Kings will be drafting. I doubt the Sens or Ducks would trade Sanderson or Drysdale for that package.

I think the Kings should just sign Dougie Hamilton.

Breaking news * so are 30 other teams*

Kind of odd timing for this, especially with so many of their young Dmen performing exceptionally well right now.

 

[Michael HOMERUNing]

Sandin and Amirov for Walker and Vilardi

 

[grapes55]

This would have to happen during the offseason but what about Morgan Rielly?

NOTE: I seriously doubt he is moved because he's a hell of a player and a big leader on the team but since he's up for a raise in a year and the Leafs have a ton of LHD I'm curious to see what he would fetch

This just screams Robert Hagg.

Save Kylington from the Flames mismanagement and logjam

Save Kylington from the Flames mismanagement and logjam

He already cleared waivers so I imagine if they wanted him they would've made a claim.

Mark Giordano

 

[xjoeyc23x]

Matty Grizz?

 

[SFKingshomer]

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

Kupari and Clague.

grundstrom

 

[Patagonia]

Girard + 3rd

for

Turcotte + Kupari

 

[IPS]

grundstrom

no thanks we already stole Muzzin from you with him

 

[bland]

Take DeAngelo and teach him to play left handed.

He doesn't do anything left.

 

[hamzarocks]

Kupari and Clague.

Tempting tbh, Kupari looks like a good shot at being a 2C in 2-3 years, with him hopefully being a 3C/3W as soon as next year.

Don't know much about Clauge but he has some solid AHL numbers the past few years.

This is a good offer, but I'd look to see if someone offered one piece straight up which was better/more valuable than those two assets, if no team did (in this scenario where we are dealing Sandin and the Kings are willing to deal Kupari, Clauge etc) than this is a deal I would look at making.

stole LOL? bjornfort is a stud and grundstrom is one of the kings best bottom six, mean while two years with muzzin with no playoff series

 

[SFKingshomer]

no thanks we already stole Muzzin from you with him

we also got Bjornfot with the pick.

 

[TySmith4Norris]

He’s not exactly dynamic but something around Pettersson and Kempe could probably work

Not sure which side would add

 

[Calad]

Whats the best C prospect LA would give up for K'Andre Miller?

 

[Mr Positive]

The obvious player the Oilers could offer is Caleb Jones. He wouldn't cost a ton, is very promising, and offensive minded.

I don't know what the Kings have. The Oilers are interested in a promising goalie prospect. Not much else.

This literally doesn't even make sense in any way. Unless they think their D is "complete" and is targeting one of the absolute top young LHD--but most of those guys are on teams that wouldn't want to disrupt with a trade and have literally no need to (Werenski, Sergachev, etc.). Plus, Kings are still figuring out what their needs are, as the youth evolves...but they're absolutely chock full of #2-#6 guys in the system. Anderson has been playing well with Doughty. Clague looked awesome in his time. Bjornfot now looks better than both. Kings' top 4 has been excellent with Doughty anchoring one pair (with Anderson) and Roy anchoring the next (with Clague or Bjornfot), and the depth has been good as well with Walker, Strand, and Maatta.

Not sure what they'd give up for a young 'upgrade' on those guys, and as pointed out above, the timing is super weird. No point in a lateral move when you're oozing prospect depth and could fill internally. This would have to be a 'sure thing' trade for a young, established top level dman. That's about the most expensive thing I can think of and seems a bit early for that.

Sure the Kings have needs but this year should be about exploring what they actually are.

 

[LAKings88]

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.

Came to post this too

Take DeAngelo and teach him to play left handed.

and to behave like a positive guy.
