Confirmed with Link: Toffoli has been traded to the Vancouver Canucks.

[AnThGrt]

Madden is a nice addition to our stable. He would go 1st round in a re-draft today. Is it an earth shattering trade no, but solid for a UFA to be Toffoli

 

[Mattias]

I’ve got a text earlier when the trade was announced with “I really hope it’s not Madden”.
So a 2nd round pick and a umm...B+ grade prospect seem to be what we all expected.

Could not see LA getting Hoglander or Pod for a UFA rental but that return seems to be more than fair.

See what the condition is as well.

Madden tearing ip the NCAA as a sophomore. Think he's 4th overall in NCAA scoring. Won a Silver with Mikey Anderson at the WJC last year.

 

[Brodeur]

If only for bloodlines alone, I like the Madden pick up. He's shown some offense in college and the WJC.

On the down side, he has touched the Stanley Cup:

Edit: Madden was #40 on Craig Button's list of top prospects - Russian players dominate top spots in TSN’s ranking of NHL-affiliated prospects - TSN.ca

Madden is one of the top scorers in the NCAA.

From Scott Wheeler:

3. Tyler Madden, C, 20 (Northeastern University)
Madden is another in a long line of Canucks success stories in the last few years. He has shown, despite lacking size, strength and a pull-away gear to his straightaway stride, that skill can solve a lot of those concerns. Northeastern, who’d just dealt with a similar player in Blackhawks forward Dylan Sikura, have proven they can help those players succeed in a heavy college hockey game, too. This year, Madden has built on his slick puck skills and superb cross-ice vision to add a goal scoring element to his game, taking him from one of college hockey’s best freshmen to one of college hockey’s best players. When he’s got the puck, he’s capable of making plays out of nothing, whether that’s with a creative pass through traffic, a dangle in tight or his ability to lose bigger defenders with a quick cut. He will face some challenges along the wall at the college level — and might be asked to play the wing — but he can run a power play and make things happen at even strength, both of which I suspect will translate. And though I wouldn’t say he’s a dominant defensive player, Madden’s versatile enough to be trusted in all situations.

We got another 2nd round pick in this draft. That’s solid considering it’s a deep draft according to those in the know. Likely we will add another 2nd, atleast if AMart goes.

Could always package a couple to move into the late 1st round. The more draft capital , the better. Gives us flexibility.

Madden is Vancouvers 5 th prospect in pronmans ratings and it’s a pretty good write up

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Judging by the comments on twitter, Canucks fans aren't too pleased with this one.

Madden is one of the top scorers in the NCAA.

The Athlethic wrote an article about him a week ago, with the header of speed, skill and spunk...he's having a strong year in the NCAA and should develop into a nice support at 2 C behind Vilardi , which would bode well for the Kings for years.

 

[Kingspiracy]

Probably fairish value. Good luck Top titty, show those nucks how to do it.

 

[SFKingshomer]

Decent return...hopefully the Canucks miss the playoffs lol.

[Choralone]

Start the "Rob Blake doesn't know when he trades for injured players / drafts injured prospects" hysteria.....

 

[KingsFan7824]

So that's a Trevor replacement, a Tyler replacement. Need a Kyle and Jack.

 

[redcard]

He'll fit right in.

 

[NUhockey]

This is a great return for you guys. Madden is filthy.

FItzgeralds in trading mood this week, Hughes and Palmieri...there done.

Is there a conditional pick if Vancouver resigns Toffoli? According to Pierre Lebrun there is.

 

[sinister6000]

Package deals usually don't turn out to good for the Kings. Madden could turn out to be good, but the last thing this team needs is more grinders.

Sucks to see another member of the cup teams gone but it made sense to trade him.

Oh goodness we're going to have to watch Brown do absolutely nothing on the top line again. Poor Kopitar.

Same team that had a Bernier, Greene, and Carter in 2012 too.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

The cupboard is overflowing with prospects Kings fans. Madden is a very interesting skilled prospect.

When you say grinder, are you talking about Schaller? He's not really part of the deal. He's in it solely because of the cap.
