Kings Trade Deadline Prediction Thread

[Lt Dan]

I dont think Forbort gets moved.. His injuries have probably killed any value he had.
Lewis maybe gets a 3rd from the Caps, I would see what Hutton can fetch...

I would normally totally agree, but D-men injuries have changed everything. I highly doubt J-bo will ever play again
If we get another d-man hurt before Monday, Forbort becomes valuable

Indeed but

Indeed but

It be the perfect time to let Brickley sink or swim..

I think part of the reason for the Reign's recent streak is Brickley's return to the ice after a long injury in mid-January.

He'd be the perfect #6 Dman... Size, Skill, Toughness, Speed...Just needs to stay healthy!

His nickname can be Shithously because of the way he is built....

I think Lewis is at best a 4th round return.
Forbort hasn't played enough this season. My guess is they hold onto him and resign him to a 2 yr 5mil.

Come July 1, nobody is holding onto UFA. So if they really want to sign him, they should think about it sooner than later. July 1 he gets to listen to other teams.

Austin Wagner puts on 5 pounds, works on his lateral skating and increases his shot percentage to maybe 7% next year he will be an excellent 4th line forward.

I think the biggest thing with his shot is he just goes to the net soooo fast he doesn't pick a good target.

Didn’t get to see the Kings much this season. Noticed Wagner has spent the bulk of the past two seasons with the Kings despite meager offensive numbers.

Is this an “is what it is” situation or is there more of an upside once he gains more experience?

RFA so I imagine he re-signs with the Kings.

Wagner's season in a nutshell:
Imagine him on a breakaway and shooting the puck in to the center of the crest of the goalie's jersey.
That's what happened about 50 times

You forgot to add trying to clear the puck out of the defensive zone right up the middle of the ice instead of the boards and generating a dangerous scoring chance for the opposing team. That happened about 50 times as well.

There's upside, but imo he was rushed into the NHL and isn't going to get great opportunities to develop more offensively.

He is arguably the fastest skater in the nhl and is a huge pain in the ass so he's a player, albeit one with puck stuff to learn. But he scored at a 15 goal pace his rookie year with mostly 4th line minutes so that's not nothing.

Wagner has good possession numbers, he does a great job of limiting chances against and has some of the best speed in the league. He is good for a breakaway a games, but he could not finish at all last season. He brings some feistiness and has good size that mixed with his speed makes him a great forechecker. He is kind of an ideal 4th line guy right now and I think he will be on the Kings for a while.

4th line could be interesting with Wagner, Lizotte, Amadio, and Moore competing for spots next year....

It's going to be a really good fourth line when it's Wagner - Lizotte - Moore and Amadio isn't involved.

One of those 4 could be the rotating 13th forward. Just please don’t re-sign Trevor Lewis - just give him a job with the organ-eye-zation already.
