Value of: Alex Turcotte

[Lockin17]

MTL is going after all the 2019 players (next it's Zegras)

What would be the cost of getting Turcotte in MTL

MTL have a bunch of LHD that LA could use , Matheson could be a great fit with Doughty

What would be the cost ?

I'd do MTL 1st + WiFi

No? Ok, come back next year when he needs waivers.

 

[kilowatt]

Kings will take a first round pick. Otherwise we aren’t interested

 

[Frolov 6'3]

Turcotte is worth nothing interesting.

Kings will hold on.

Let's start with an apology to Jets fans for lowballing PLD all last season on the part of many Habs fans and a promise not to do it with Turcotte this year.

In exchange for consideration to listen for offers next season

Actually I never wondered about that Herb but now we are even...

you gotta stop listening to the voice in your head Deez

I like to laugh and the constant strike 3 punchlines coming from you are spiraling down to beer league level fails.

So thats a big negative ghost writer.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Really ? Guess I don’t know the rule as I thought this was his year 4

It goes off a wide range of shit based on pro season occurred, games played, age.

At this price, we ain't getting Turcotte, we're getting either PLD or Danault

Its not even clear to me why Montreal would want Turcotte, apart from collecting all the 2019 first rounders. Injuries play a role, but he hasn't really shown enough post-2019 to justify an NHL spot even on a team as bad as Montreal and the they don't need him in the AHL either.

 

[Garbageyuk]

Future considerations or in another deal as a throw-in.

Late round draft picks probably have equal or better chances to be an NHLer at this point, but they will be 5+ years younger.

No matter how much of a used-car-sale "we don't your trash but we'll take him off your hands for a 5th rounder" typical HF thread this turns into, the boldfaced is the key point.

The kings are contending, there's very little useful they could acquire in a trade that would be worth more to them than Turcotte, who is at absolute worst a useful depth forward and one with possible high upside. Trading for a draft pick/young prospect and resetting the development clock does next to nothing for them for the next 1-3 years.

MTL missed on both of those already.

He probably won’t make the NHL at this point, so it doesn’t matter. I agree the Kings should probably keep him for the slim chance he turns it around, but no other team is going to give anything for him. Literally all he has going for him now is draft pedigree, and that was 5 years ago.

Not sure what "make the NHL" means but he is with the A-Teamers in Australia.
He is waiver exempt and will be called up quick if the the Kings have some injuries at forward.

I can really empathize with the Jets fans and have now seen what Hab fans do.

They have little too look at internally so they look outward and try to put players in the buy cheap project bin, when they have yet to be put there in reality.

Put that in your poutine and smoke it!

You must be trolling. There’s nothing wrong with calling a spade a spade. He’s had several concussions and other major injuries and has barely managed 0.5p/gp in the AHL. Hes shown absolutely nothing during his stints in the NHL. He’s on the small side and is made of glass with an alarming injury history. We don’t want him, and certainly wouldn’t give up assets for him. Every team in the league has numerous prospects better than he is at this point, including the Kings. I know you’re really just upset he hasn’t panned out due to injuries. That’s unfortunate, but it doesn’t have anything to do with Habs fans.

Then why do other teams keep asking for him? We aren’t interested in moving him. We know he isn’t worth much. I’d rather see if he can salvage a career.

Even if he makes the team he likely is an injury plug/press box guy. He’ll likely be in the AHL behind Tynan. I’ve lost most hope that he’ll be a contributor in LA. He likely needs a spot elsewhere.

I don't troll but I see you under a bridge.

We will make such determinations when he is no longer waiver exempt and decide if we expend him at or closer to that time.

He may be an add on on anything Blake tries to get before the deadline.

Moving him now would be useless as most of Kings board has been telling you.

Don't worry dude, we see your thinly veiled shots, so here's your validation. We just don't give a shit because we aren't trying to move him because, as you agreed, he's worth more to us than in a trade.

Ok I’m gonna have to call you on your BS here;

what shots?

 

[Herby]

We don't know if other teams are looking at him. This is fans making a trade speculation post for a disappointing former Top 5 pick.. People like to discuss disappointments and speculate what may happen. I don't really see it as out of the norm. The same thing was done for Yakupov, Murray, Galchenyuk, Dach, Dal Colle.

 

[Kurrilino]

At this price, we ain't getting Turcotte, we're getting either PLD or Danault

Please take both

And yet you come in here and offer a trade proposal for this guy.... weird

FSL won the internet today

what shots?

you buying?

While he may never be a Top 6 player, he’s certainly going to be an NHL player. Worse case, he spends the next two years concentrating on being a productive bottom six player, and he’ll play 5-10 years in the league.

He’s as well trained in a hockey sense, than any prospect in recent memory. So that part of the game is in his DNA as a player. It’s also likely why he doesn’t get “any better” from a Top 6 skill standpoint, compared to other players who now have the same type of training he had growing up.

But he will be an NHL player unless injuries take a toll on him.
