Okay so I've been lurking here for years and never posted anything so please go easy on me. Also I have mild dyslexia so if there are grammatical errors I'm sorry in advance.
NYR trade - Nils Lundkvist (RD) + Lauri Pajuniemi (RW)
LA Trade - Alexander Turcotte (C)
Reason NYR do it: They have a surplus of RD at the NHL level, with Nils seemingly ready to make the transition fairly soon there isn't much space for him on the roster. He is one of the top defensive prospects in hockey and maybe the best currently in Europe. We also just drafted Braden Schneider who is a solid prospect and have a tone of LD in the pipeline, the biggest weakness in our prospect pool is high upside centerman.
Reason LA Kings do it: LA have an abundance of center prospects and still have Kopitar at the NHL level. With the addition of Byfield they have their future number 1 and probably have a number 2 in Rasmus Kupari. They also have Akil Thomas and Lias Andersson in the pipeline and despite the overblown attitude issues of Lias he is a pretty solid prospect and is producing in the SHL.
This is purely two teams trading from a point of strength in their prospect pool, I recognise that Turcotte is more valuable than Nils hence why I included Pajuniemi who had a really good season in Liiga this year.
