The Kings aren't retaining on Martinez.
Toffoli; yes. But Martinez has another year and the Kings won't hamstring themselves that way.

Not sure I understand why they would be hamstrung by retaining. At the rate they are going, they're going to have a hard time reaching the cap floor next year.

If they retain, with the lack of supply and demand for top fours, they better get a first.
Well, that doesn't address the "hamstrung" concern of the original poster but thanks for your input. I doubt any team gives up a 1st (even retained) for a bottom pairing D who is closing in on 33 years old.

But there is no need unless it ups his value and return. LA can do it but they don’t have to do it at all.

Board man gets paid
I really hope the Jets don't do this. Bad side of 30 and we really shouldn't be buying. We should be playing the "ride it out for the year" and see if they make the playoffs anyways game. Especially after giving away 1sts for the last couple years for rentals (although we got last year's back). If he was 26 or so I'd they should be interested but I don't think they should be looking to buy right now.
Also, he's a lefty so I'm not sure that's what they need in a D-man right now.

Probably, but he is solid and has a bit of term. Depends on what else teams are running down. Could see a late range first. Dumba should be a major target if available.
Not a bad offer. Too much retain though. Max at 25%. Reverse the years, aka 2nd in 20 and 3rd in 21 and you have a deal.
If its only 25% i wouldn't want the 2nd being this year, i don't even want to give up this 2nd because i would also be aiming to trade the 1st for a better/more of a need player like a top 6 rhs rw, if you want this years 2nd i want 50 %, if you want less than 50% i want the 3rd lowered
I can see retention upping the value of the prospect (as opposed to upping the value of the pick). Retaining 50% might get LA a good prospect instead of a dime-a-dozen one. For example, maybe a team has a defenseman prospect that could be NHL ready next season, but may be crowded out, especially if a defenseman is acquired. Having Martinez at only $2M AAV next season could be incentive to give him up. That would be beneficial to LA because they could really use D prospects that are close to NHL ready, not years away.
Lol you guys just extended Maurice. It doesn't matter what they do from here on out.
Of course Martinez also plays the Right side. The question is will the Jets make the playoffs with their current D. If chances are not, a 2nd and decent prospect shouldn't hold them back.
Im guessing Blake is going to create a small bidding war on the gives up the best prospect and/or second pick
