Kings Trade Deadline Prediction Thread

[raswilliam]

Vegas has 3 2nd round picks in this draft, their own, the stars and the Pens. And 2 third rounders, theirs and the Devils (which currently is a high 3rd).

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I predict that no matter what the Kings do, there will still be people complaining about their direction.

 

[BigBrown]

I'm thinking Toffoli and Martinez both get dealt for 2nd+prospect/pick. Maybe Lewis for a 5th and Frk for a 7th.

 

[apadilla]

Hope you are right about TT an AMart. I don't think Frk would be on the market. It would be a surprise, and not a good one.

 

[apadilla]

Don't see them trading Forbort. They will move Martinez and Toffoli for sure. Possibly Lewis and Hutton but the return on them will be not much.

Forbort should be gone, unless he agrees to a cheap extention, i.e. 2.5 - 3m per for 2 years.

Sorry too lazy to check when is the deadline?

Sorry too lazy to check when is the deadline?

For which season?

24th. And apparently Seth Jones will be out injured for a bit so thats another team possibly added to the mix for Martinez at least

 

[YP44]

Toffoli for a conditional 1st (if conditions not met then becomes a 2nd) + prospect
Martinez for a conditional 1st (if conditions not met then becomes a 2nd) + 2021 2nd
or if retention on Martinez than condition is dropped from first
Lewis for Conditional 5th
Hutton-not dealt (no one wanting)

very likely

I'm not sure, but didn't Edmonton get 2 1st round picks for Dustin Penner? Now we can't get a 1st for Toffoli, whats up with that?

Penner had term, and Teubert was already looking like a bust by that point.

Teams are smarter about 1st round picks now as well. Penner trade occurred in a world where cap-circumventing contracts were still a thing with the cap always rising.

 

[KingsCrown]

With Cliffy and Soupy being traded to Toronto, the Kings now have 10 picks so far for the 2020 Nhl Draft.
1-first, 1-second, 2-thirds, 2-fourths, 1-fifth, 1-sixth, and 2-sevenths. What are the predictions for how many picks we end up with at the Trade Deadline.....?

I think we end up around 15 picks. Hopefully another first, two more seconds, another third and another fourth.

I think we end up with another 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 6th.

Toffoli - 1st
Martinez - 2nd and 4th.
Lewis - 6th

I think retention will be the big thing with getting higher picks.

plus first were passed around a lot more freely back then

I love posts that could have just as easily been typed into google, but with a longer wait time to get the answer.

Plus with this 2020 draft class, most GMs are holding on to their 1st round picks.

That reminds me, Paul Gaustad of all people cost a first round pick.

 

[BigKing]

It's rough when you look at Ottawa giving up its 1st and now San Jose giving up theirs. GM's don't want to be the guy that gave away a 1st round pick only to see their team finish high in the lottery.

which is why you are seeing a lot of conditions on picks. Look at the Toronto first to Carolina. It's top 3 protected which seemed asinine when the deal first was struck. But if Toronto does not make the playoffs it could happen.

 

[Steve Zissou]

Forbort should be gone, unless he agrees to a cheap extention, i.e. 2.5 - 3m per for 2 years.

He's already making $2.5 m per. I don't think you'd find anyone around here willing to pay him that much each season.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Now that Zucker is off the market, let’s see some first round pick offers for Tyler!

 

[HeadInjury]

As I mentioned in the other thread, hopefully this helps set the market as that's a pretty good return for Minny there.

I use to be in an Angels forum very much like this one. And everytime someone would make a comment they'd b***h and moan about every little spelling error and make some dumb a** comment it was pretty unbearable. Ever since I've been on HFboards everyone here has been great and respectful. Love it that Kings fans can disagree with certain topics but still have that level of maturity and respect. Thank God Kings fans are nothing like them aholes.

Yes just saw that Jones is out. Would be great if we can get at least a second for Martinez.
