I'm eager to see what the return is.

PERFECT.

This means Clarke is in the NHL.

Despite all the negative predictions against that happening.

 

[jgs]

Kings get a second round pick for Durzi, good deal now hopefully Blake will make a good pick, one that won't take 3 years to pan out.

 

[Kings4thecup]

Had to be moved. Enjoyed watching Durzi play, but with potentially more complete players behind him, it had to be done. Thanks Sean

i'm shocked but couldn't be happier

blake's having a great offseason so far, just don't blow it on PLD or some other nonsense moonshot

 

[kilowatt]

Great trade, saving Todd from himself.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Banished to the shadow realm!

 

[Kudelski37]

Good move.

 

[KingsHockey24]

There goes our enforcer.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Gavrikov retained, and they’ve gotten rid of a pile of dung in Petersen, Walker, and Durzi. How is this off-season not considered a win thus far?

 

[King'sPawn]

Good job. A late first for this draft would have been a pipe dream, but he was the one who lost out on the numbers game. Too many RHD who played his role with better translatability to the NHL.

 

[Seattle King]

Kings now have over $9M in cap space.
I enjoyed Sean sometimes but the numbers game left him in the surplus pile so its good that he is moved for a substantial asset and the cap space is free.
Not seeing the Durzi-Roy pairing ever again is worth a couple points off the blood pressure.
Blake is doing well, these moves are exactly what many of us wanted.

 

[kingsboy11]

Its a shame because I really liked him and his personality on and off the ice, but the writing was on the wall with Clarke and Spence. And its through no fault of his own that he was forced to play on his off hand the entire season, it just wasn't in the cards long term. I give him a lot of credit because there was a point when he was still in Ontario that I never thought he'd figure it out and then he came in last year and was a revelation. Wish him all the best.

 

[Little Psycho]

Yikes Arizona.

 

[BigBrown]

Not an exciting return, especially considering it's a 2024 pick.

Whatever, something had to give on the back end. It's an okay trade I guess.

 

[Live in the Now]

Good trade can’t complain too much.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Kings officially the softest team in the NHL now.

 

[johnjm22]

Realistically, the Kings have about 7.4M, and need to sign some combination of:

Vilardi
JAD
Kupari
Bjornfot
Fagemo
Goalie

Still tight. Another player is likely to get moved.

 

[BringTheReign]

Arizona's 2nd should be high, even next year too. I bet we use this one to try and move up this year though.

Edit: It's Montreal's 2024 2nd round pick, which should still be a high one.

Durzi was not tough this last year. Replace him with Clarke. I put the 800,000 in savings towards a True’s tough guy.

 

[Schrute farms]

I believe it’s Montreals 2nd in 2024.
My only complaint here is he should have held out for it being in 2023.

Durzi was soft as baby shit last year. Moving the worst dman I’ve seen in recent history and opening the door to Clarke who plays with more BALLS is a massive win. Good trade.

 

[kings11]

Really good trade for the Kings, that MTL 2nd is likely to be very early and will hopefully yield one of the many Dmen in that class
