Value of: Alex Turcotte

[Reaper45]

Is the prospect of having Byfield-Vilardi-Turcotte as the top-3 centre in a few years so bad? You could always trade Kupari if it's too much of a logjam but 3 quality centre isnt too much

And that is what would likely happen. They could even go with Stutzle and run a top 3 of Vilardi, Turcotte and Thomas.

Stutzle-Vilardi-Kupari
Kaliyev-Turcotte-Fagemo
Xxx-Thomas-xxx

 

[Reaper45]

An LA/NYR trade just makes so much sense...thats if NYR don't just select Byfield anyway.

How do you figure? Rangers fans want the moon for Laf and rightfully so. Kings arent willing to pay any of the youth for him.

Rangers need a center, desperately.

Rangers need a center, desperately.

That's cool for the Rangers but unless they're willing to take way less for Laf or have a #1 d prospect they'd move 1 for 1 for a kid like Turcotte then they can look elsewhere.

Pretty much, yeah.

This is so overblown. They have Zibby who IS a 1C.

Having a solid 2C is more of a luxury than saying “desperately”.

The Rangers are still one year away from becoming a big power house.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

It would be a tempting offer if Kravtsov would have a solid year.
Is there any information you Rangers guys can share, what happened to him. He had a horrible, horrible year.
He was even removed from the KHL roster where he scored 35 points the year before.

Right now i wouldn't trade any promising center prospect for Kravtsov

It’s not close to a good offer.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Crazy to think back on how I was bummed we took Dach over Turcotte

Turcotte wouldn’t have been able to score 25 points in the NHL this season.

It isn't overblown, the Rangers future is built around wingers. Anaheim Ducks might have been the last team to try to build around franchise wingers rather than a center. Krieder or Kakko, someone needs to be moved for a slightly lesser center.

 

[Telos]

LA would have no motivation to trade Turcotte. It is way early in a lot of these prospects' development. We don't know if even Byfield turns out to be a solid NHL player. You might as well keep the best center depth in the NHL and, if need be, transfer one to wing or trade one after they've become better established and you have a better idea of your future roster. The way a player like Turcotte gets moved is if someone gets stupid and makes a desperate move, and I guarantee you that LA is just patiently sitting there and likely won't be that team.

Dach turning out to be a really good player. Turcotte hasn't even played an NHL game yet to judge him. I'm glad the Kings are not rushing.

 

[Kurrilino]

It’s not close to a good offer.

So what would be a good offer?

 

[Kurrilino]

Turcotte wouldn’t have been able to score 25 points in the NHL this season.

Do you have any evidence for that?

 

[SI90]

Would love to add him on the isles and reunite him with Wahlstrom

 

[funky]

What do the Kings add to Turcotte to get Kakko?

NYR drafts Lafreniere, LA drafts Byfield

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

So what would be a good offer?

It’s probably something like Kakko for Turcotte.

Do you have any evidence for that?

I was joking.

I’ll take Turcotte over Dach.

 

[Kurrilino]

I was joking.

I’ll take Turcotte over Dach.

I'll goess Kakko and Turcotte would be somehow fair.
Any insight on why he isn't really breaking out?
I watched a couple of Rangers games but noticed he is either never on the ice or not noticable.
Are his minutes limited?

 

[Kurrilino]

Well than make an offer

 

[SI90]

Well than make an offer

I don’t see why LA would trade him. Makes no sense to me. Even with Valardi and possibly Drafting Byfield

Kakko looked better at the end of the season. I think it's a combination of everything (stamina, skating, speed of the game, strength, smaller ice) as opposed to one or two things. I expect him to be better going forward, but I also think all those top 2019 picks are in the same boat. None of them were great last season, so the value is pretty interchangeable as I see it, and its more down to personal preference.
