I am confused on preds direction… what will they want from kings?

 

[Flash20]

Man I wonder if this makes the Kings go all in on Jack Eichel

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

I don't like this for the Preds. Probably going to sell too low after a down season.

my guess is they are going 4 4 in expansion

It's really 2 down seasons. They need a shakeup to their forwards.

It’s funny how the kings have been ultra aggressive this off-season. Looks like they’re risking it all in an attempt to almost be a playoff team.

 

[Whileee]

Preds probably want to go 8+1 for the expansion draft to protect 4 D. Arvidsson traded for picks / players that don't need to be protected, and then maybe find a trade to replace Arvidsson after the Kraken draft.

 

[57special]

Maybe one of LA's nice C prospects? Kupari and maybe some salary coming back? Still think Arvidsson is a good player. Might be a smart move by LA.

 

[HoseEmDown]

Akil Thomas + St Louis 2nd is my guess.

 

[Revansky]

A 2nd + 3rd/C prospect

 

[JoemAvs]

Akil Thomas + St Louis 2nd is my guess.

I don't think thats enough. Needs a bit more (not that much but still).

EDIT: I didn't realize how much Arvidssons numbers have dropped recently.
Yeah that might just do it...

 

[Dr Quincy]

Thomas + 2nd + JAD is my guess.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

If one of 8OA or Vilardi aren’t involved I don’t like it for NSH. I hope Vilrdi’s not involved; he wants to come to Minnesota

 

[ottomaddox]

To LA
Marner
To TOR
Arvidsson + 2nd
To NSH
Doughty

 

[Mats26]

He won't hit 30 goals with the Kings. Good for 20-25 maybe. I suspect a roster player(who is eligible for expansion) will need to at least go back to the Preds. Grundstrom maybe?

Preds probably want to go 8+1 for the expansion draft to protect 4 D. Arvidsson traded for picks / players that don't need to be protected, and then maybe find a trade to replace Arvidsson after the Kraken draft.

Possibly 5D (Josi, Ekholm, Ellis, Carrier, Fabbro). We are thin on forwards worth protecting (Forsberg, Kunin, and then one of Johansen, Arvy, Jarnkrok, Sissons, Trenin) and will probably expose one or both of Johansen/Duchene. Granlund probably re-signs after expansion draft, Ellis may be protected to just get moved after the expansion draft.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Thomas and LA's 2nd for Arvidsson sounds about right to me.

I think he's fairly comparable to Jason Zucker, who went for Addison and a 1st.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

He’ll probably get the typical 20% production boost from leaving Nashville, so we’re looking at a 50-60 points winger. more recently close to the bottom end of that

 

[KingsHockey24]

Ohhhh yesss! I love Arvidsson!

 

[Flgatorguy87]

Arvy hasn't been good with Hynes, his balls to the wall recklessness got him tons of fan support, but also seems to have really capped his upside. I suspect this is Poile getting assets back for someone he was struggling to protect over the rest of our roster. It'll piss off some of our fanbase who think Arvy has earned his place, and while it's hard to argue against that, this is a business and we need new blood.

 

[HoseEmDown]

I don't think thats enough. Needs a bit more (not that much but still).

EDIT: I didn't realize how much Arvidssons numbers have dropped recently.
Yeah that might just do it...

The production drop the past two seasons, the decent cap hit for 3 more seasons in tough cap times and Nashville needing to make ED moves I think makes the offer fairly fair. Not a fan of either team just thinking what the cost may be.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

It's really 2 down seasons. They need a shakeup to their forwards.

Yeah but the forwards they needs to shake up are Duchene and Johansen.

I won’t be sad to see Ardvisson leave the central, dude is a Hawks killer.

 

[kinghock]

He won't hit 30 goals with the Kings. Good for 20-25 maybe. I suspect a roster player(who is eligible for expansion) will need to at least go back to the Preds. Kempe maybe?

According to John Hoven Kings can leave 2 forwards unprotected for expansion draft if they will trade for forwards.
He was saying those two are Grundstrom and Brown.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Could see the deal centering around both of LA's second round picks this year, or one this year, and a second in 2022.
