Or, pretend all day long, just don't get upset at or blame the Kings for not getting them. Like when you get blamed for something you did in a dream.

There's simply no reason to think TB won't do next to anything else before trading Sergachev for cap relief.

I won’t get upset at all. I was merely pointing out, to get a needle moving, HEALTHY player, it’s going to cost. That’s all. And if Blake can’t swing that because he can’t find a team willing to do it, then so be it. What I don’t want him to do is bring in someone, just to say I brought in someone.

An exploration of potential trade targets for those interested.

As I mentioned previously, most of the UFAs want term and/or money. These will be shorter-term contracts.


Mayor is throwing out there …

Domi
Kessel
Nino
Tierney
Trochek

Less likely…

Pavelski
Palat
Forsberg

On D …
Chiarot
De Haan
Kempny

Forsberg gets my vote. He’ll cost more than Arvidsson, but you’d love to see some bodies move out for him.I’d throw Fagemo and Lizotte at Nashville and see what sticks.

no to all the D options. I fine with some of the top 6 options depending on price. Forsberg being the most interesting.

Yes to Domi, Nino, Palat and Forsberg. On D? I guess wouldn’t mind throwing a 2 year contract at one of them but nothing more.

Does Domi only want to play center?
 
Not that I mind the kings tanking this year, but did Blake thinking adding arvidsson was enough to keep doughy happy
 
That list is somewhat uninspiring.

Eh, yeah. They're not supposed to be gamebreakers, though, else the cost would be considerably more.

My gut, someone like Grans or Spence will be the cost. Clarke makes RD very deep. Him and Faber are solid in the depth chart, so they'd be dealing from a position of strength.

Another possibility, imo, would be Madden. Injuries have his spot in the depth chart up in the air. Pinelli can play LW and Fagemo, despite lower upside, can find himself challenging for a middle-six role. Not to mention Turcotte as a natural lefty may move to the LW with Vilardi, Byfield, and Helenius up the middle.

That's just me calling my shot. Grans or Madden + middling pick for a forward.

Kings add to the roster without losing a roster player and without paying an absurd price (whether it's prospect capital or money/term in free agency).

You want Forsberg, and the names you choose are Fagemo and Lizotte?

You add him, then find the market isn't doing you any favors.

I’m going off the mayor’s theory that the cost is small. Secondary prospect or picks and no roster players. He did have Forsberg not coming cheap. So maybe Fagemo, Kupari and a 2nd?
 
Free agency always goes the same way around here.

1. Get over hyped on every player ever
2. Propose low ball offers
3. Get disappointed when Kings sign no fools gold
4. Mock all those deals and dumb GM’s and their terrible deals shortly thereafter

One of the major perks of no big names ever wanting to sign here. Automatic save or GM from himself card.

I wonder how likely a Tarasenko trade will be, as he's another name who may not cost much given he wants out of St. Louis, his questionable health, and his cap hit. But again, this is a reclamation project the Kings would have to take on with a player like him, should they strike out on someone like Brandon Saad. Looking at the free agent list, it's slim pickings.
