Proposal: LA - Columbus

[verbalkint47]

LA:
Alexander Wennberg

Columbus:
Jack Campbell
Tyler Toffoli

Change of scenery trade with Wennberg and Toffoli.
Kings gamble Wennberg can be 2nd line center again.
Jackets gamble that Toffoli can score 20-25 goals again and Campbell can be at least a 1B starter. Also get cheap replacements (kind of) for Bob and Pan if they leave.

Thoughts?

No idea why LA should add Campbell as Wennberg has no more value than Toffoli.

It is the other way around actually.

2nd line centers do score a lot more than 35 goals in 5 NHL seasons.

i dont like it. wennberg’s woes wont be solved on this kings team. toffoli likely has value to a contender like the blue jackets, but id rather the kings get back a pick or prospect. wennberg is only two years younger than toffoli

Toffoli doesn't actually have as much value to us in particular because, with the sole exception of Panarin, all our best established wingers are right-shot RWs (Atkinson, Bjorkstrand, Anderson) - and Panarin is a right-shot LW. And we'd also be more inclined to take picks, for what are probably obvious reasons.


For the record, also, we've got a lot of young good goaltenders in the pipeline, so I'm not sure about Campbell. Could work out, but.

that’s fine - although toffoli plays both wings - but the kings arent really in a position to swap toffoli for wennberg is all i was saying. kings want players they can develop, they actually have a logjam of mediocre forwards lol

Take out Campbell and it’s ok. We’re not looking to move Campbell and nothing offered makes us want to. If you want a goalie Quick is the one LA should be moving.

I was thinking of a hockey trade but understand Columbus would want draft picks.
I'd offer a mid round pick tho. The Kings should look to buy low on a young player. If he regains his form on a new team with a new coach then they have solid center depth again. Worst case scenario he is an expensive 3rd line center and the Kings still suck.

Porkins - Kopi - Brown
Iafallo - Wennberg - Kovy
Grundstrum - Kempe - Carter
Clifford - Amadio - Lewis

In that case, a conditional picks arrangement might be best, because we wouldn't want to take the risk of getting badly ripped off by selling low.

Fair enough, I'll fax over the paper work.
3rd in '19
2nd-4th in '20 (based on points scored)
