No in the SHL. Record was 24 points I believe he ended with 31. And he seen as more polished in his end than in the offensive zone. Not saying the Kings should make the trade but he is a very good prospect.

Ok - I was just trying to answer a question you asked. I have zero interest in moving him.

I don’t blame you, he’s a good prospect. Both teams would be wise to see what they have rather than trade to fill a hole. That’s why you don’t see prospect moves often. I’d want a proven young player for a deal involving Turcotte and I’m sure NYR would feel the same about Lundkvist.

I think if there's any weakness in the Kings' organization, it's a really good goalie prospect. Cal Petersen is almost 26, and while ultimately just the beginning of his career, there are questions about who will be ready to take over after him. The Kings have Villalta, Ingham, and Parik, plus newly drafted Markkanen, but those are all still pretty big question marks.
I like Lundkvist, but I'm not looking to trade Vilardi, Byfield, or Turcotte for him, so there probably isn't much to talk about here. If you want some package of Kupari, Madden, Clague, and Grundstrom, let's talk!

Ranger fans still view Kakko as untouchable. I no longer think he is with Lafreniere drafted. If a player like Byfield or Zegras is made available for Kakko, I feel like the Rangers should make the move. Even if there ends up being a slight top end talent difference (which is at worst debatable), the positional need has to be a consideration.
All of that said, Ranger fans overrate Lundkvist, but everyone else underrates him. Fans at least. I assume he’s highly valued around the league.
Kings are fine at G. Quick's replacedment is Cal Petersen. He is already on the NHL roster and is 25.
The kings felt he was ready to be a NHL backup so that is why Campbell was traded. Another year or two of experience and he will take over for Quick.

No. If we were looking for a goalie it would be a prospect as we have Cal with the big club now. We are not in the place to be trading our prospects for wingers, would rather see where the holes are in 2 years as we should be turning the corner into being a playoff team.

Drury and Laviolette Must Go
Turcotte’s definitely in that conversation with all those players, in my opinion. I don’t actually see why he wouldn’t be.
For the top ten, I’d probably also add Vilardi, and some combination of Newhook, Veleno, Jenik, Norris, Studnicka. There are probably a few others I’m forgetting.

Appeared so. I don't know why you'd mention Runblad otherwise in this discussion. But you'd know what you meant.
Have 2 prospects of note at G in Wall and Lindbom, not counting guys drafted yesterday, but all those, too early to deal, value too low from lack of development, not worth moving w/o overpayment upfront, which I am not asking.
As to the no prospects for Ws, would like to hear more to see what is the head count betw you and the guy on your side who mentioned it.
Again, this is a mid 20s Buch we are talking about here, not ballpark 30 w/lots of mileage [incl accompanying wear and tear] and commensurate vet salary.
He is 3.25 next season rfa.
No issue, we just obv have a lot of emerging guys who are cheaper who need mins.
Which LAK fans want to bid on Buch; who wants to pass?
headcount, pls

Maybe they will take similar career trajectories.
Actually, Rundblad had better draft pedigree too didn’t he?
Pretty sure Rundblad was considered an offensive defenseman with major holes in his defensive game. Lundqvist is not considered an offensive defenseman, he’s considered more well rounded. Rundblad also broke out at 20. When he was 19 he had 13 pts in 47 games. I agree they had similar break out years, but I don’t think they are similar players.
Rundblad didn’t make it because he was offensive defenseman and his offense didn’t translate. Lundqvist should make it either way because he is component in his own end.

that was his 20 years old season.
Born in 1990 and his 50 pts season is in 2010-2011. (D+2)

I’d be interested in Kupari and Madden, but definitely not for Lundkvist.

That would actually really help both teams.
That’s definitely something to think about, at the very least.

I assume LAK say no to this right now because Byfield is the shiny new toy, but this trade makes an insane amount of sense to me.
