We were right there
Forbort and Bjornfot share a lot of letters. Anyone ever seen them both in the same room?

Forbort would be a great third-pairing defenseman.
Bjornfot - Doughty
Hutton - Martinez
Forbort - Walker
Bjornfot - Doughty
Hutton - Martinez
Forbort - Walker
Even then, you really think Mikey Anderson is going to be down in Ontario for long?
Really didn’t we’d have this type of problem let alone this soon.. Damn our drafting has been impressive!

Done! Now what do we do about Toffoli
How about: Toffoli + Forbort to the Oil for Puljujarvi !
He's playing for Karpat right now and 5 pts in first 5 games.

I wonder if we'll see this to start the year:
Bjornfot - Doughty
Hutton - Martinez
MacDermid - LaDue/Roy/Walker
Ryan
Then send Bjornfot back to Sweden when Forbort comes back.
Forbort - Doughty
Hutton - Martinez
MacDermid - LaDue/Roy/Walker
Ryan
Then move 2 of Forbort Hutton and Martinez at the trade deadline and let the kids play.

rather have picks to be honest nothing against Puljujarvi I don't see where he would fit to be honest

General but honest question for all my fellow king fans What happens if we are in the playoff hunt at the deadline do we still sell off everyone? I can seriously see our new speed catching teams off guard for the first part of the season. I could see us anywhere from 16th to 20 th with this type of lineup.

I feel there's a definitely a fit for the Oilers with Toffoli, but I don't know if our team's culture is sturdy enough yet to have Puljujarvi's situation around.

That would be even more of a reason to sell off at the deadline. If we're actually near a playoff spot, it means players like Carter and Toffoli had bounce back years. Sell high and come back even stronger, cheaper, and younger once the assets attained pay dividends.

I totally agree with this type of thinking but would management is a whole other kettle of fish so to speak. Blake may try and rush the rebuild and actually let it role with either doing nothing or adding cheap

Unless Toffoli plays lights out hockey I doubt your ll see a solid 3 defense as a return

Everyone? Certainly not. UFA rentals? Likely. Toffoli is likely gone. Martinez is a maybe though I think he'd be good for the retool. Clifford stays. Lewis is like Martinez. Hutton, LaDue, Forbort, Ryan? If you can get anything of value why not. The tougher guys will be guys with term. I think if you can find a taker for Carter or Quick you have to.
It also depends on how marinated the kids are by then, as well as the status of pending dudes like Turcotte and Vilardi.

Yah, I think some of those names would be gone by now if there were takers and I'm sure they've been offered around. This past summer would have been the ideal time to trade Clifford coming off a career year. And I guess it would have been an ideal time to trade Lewis since he just had twins?
