Confirmed Trade: [LAK/ARI] Brayden Burke and Tyler Steenbergen for Cole Hults and Boko Imama

[JoeSakic13]

Yeah I’ve never heard of any of these guys, but Boko sounds like a stud.

 

[Mats26]

I rather give up Markus Phillips than Hults.

 

[Hobnobs]

Why do the Kings do this? Bokondji is a stud enforcer in the AHL and Hults still has upside. I guess Hults would never get the chance in LA but still think they could have gotten a bit more value out these two.

Imamas most famous incident is jumping of the bench to protect Joe Veleno in juniors. He was also iirc in a racist incident with Brandon Manning, who shouted racial slurs at Imama. Good fighter.

Steenbergen and Burke turn out pretty good in NHL 20 if you throw them with offensive players in the top 9 lol

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Darryl Plandowski was with Tampa when they drafted Imama

I like how it is the only trade that doesn't get a sticky.

Edit: Now it's up there.

I don’t know anything about these players, but Boko Imama is one hell of a name

Careful, saying it out loud in a crowd will probably get you stabbed in half the countries of the world.

 

[LAKings88]

Thought Hults had more stock in LA. Guessing LA wants a bit more offense stability in Ontario.

 

[miscs75]

All I know about this trade is a bunch of them had rookie cards this year and Imma had a fight highlight where he beat the balls off a guy.

 

[deaderhead28]

Trade of the century. This is a fantastic 2nd option to getting Eichel and Jones.

Definitely up there with the Gretzky trade.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Sure I believe those are real human being

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Imama might be the only one with any sort of defined skillset, we'll miss him on our AHL team, guy is an absolute train. We were always hoping he'd get a game or two hoping he'd face up vs. Reeves since Reeves wouldn't face MacDermid. Yotes prospects are now as safe as can be, this guy will drag you into a fight whether you want it or not.

I don't know enough about the yotes guys but us giving up on hults early is stupid too, at face value this is a really really bad asset mgmt from the Kings standpoint unless they highly covet one of those prospects for whatever reason, but we just get softer and softer and it's getting old.

 

[Heldig]

Coyotes GM said they were seeking a fighter. They got one. Can he play an NHL 4th line role?

 

[NHL WAR]

Didn't Steenbergen show potential at one point?

In one week, the Kings go from respectable in the West regarding toughness to the SOFTEST team in the Division. Not a good look with what the other teams have in that division of you are a Kings fan.

He's a had a few scraps.



Seems like AHL player swaps to me (seen them all play this past season).

 

[Heldig]

Now the Coyotes have someone to stand up for tiny Garland when the opposition takes liberties.

The Garland that got dealt?

 

[Heldig]

The Garland that got dealt?

Yes. I was being cheeky.

All season Coyotes fans complained about the abuse Garland suffered and wished for an enforcer.

Now they have one but no Garland.

 

[Lt Dan]

Because of this trade AZ and LA are going to win the next 18 cups

 

[Frank Drebin]

Between this trade and the expansion draft, I realized I don't know who a lot of nhl players are.

Neither of the players in this trade were ever going to see an nhl minute for the kings. If you’re referring to MacDermid the guy is a good person and a good fighter but a horrible defenseman. I agree that the Kings are soft but losing three nobodies makes zero difference for them.

Im
I the only one who read Brian Burke first in ablink of a milli second, and went like "finally they did it".

 

[Svencouver]

I can really see what Arizona is building up to here
