Kings still in on NYI Andrew MacDonald - price is pick (not a 1st) and decent prospect but plenty of competition for the blueliner

Can someone give me a neutral, non-skewed, opinion on MacDonald. It appears he's likely one player Dean covets and in theory could help us (LHD). Not a fan of the "Makes Muzzin look like Lidstrom!!!111!!" type posts. Perhaps Dean wants to roll him with Doughty for the future.

Me too. I don't get the fascination with this guy. All I can get from Isles fans (who understandably don't want to tank his value) is he's solid when he doesn't have too many minutes (i.e. we shouldn't be using him with doughty). He blocks a ton of shots. I don't know about his mobility, though allegedly he's pretty good on the PP.

We have plenty of #3-#6 defensemen so unless the plan is to keep him as like a Mitchell replacement it doesn't make much sense. He's cheap as hell this year, but a UFA, and reportedly asking for more than Voynov makes. I just don't see him doing anything that Martinez or Muzzin don't already bring us (other than immediate cap relief). It's so confusing to me. Edit: unless the club really DOES feel he's a good match for Doughty, which could be true. He seems to be a solid minute-eater all around, and smart, like I said, maybe a mini-Mitchell.

I either want a legitimate partner for Doughty ($$$-$$$$$) or a serviceable depth guy ($-$$). But Dean must see something in him and that's good enough for me. Great to have a GM you can trust as a fan.
 
WHAT THE **** DID I MISS!?!??!

Dealing Kesler in division is tough and would have to take a lot from LA but never doubt @FriedgeHNIC

It's never going to happen, but getting Kesler would send this team over the top.
 
I am sure Lombardi asked about Kesler, he wouldn't be doing his job if he didn't.

You never know, the Nucks may really like someone on the Kings roster.
 
I know some Kings-fans had interest in Erat before and if was wondering if there still some there?

I understand that Erat's value isn't very high, but if you look at his stats and manage to pass through the goal-column he's been pretty decent lately. 1+18 in his last 30 games, +1 during the same span on a slumping Caps is also somewhat impressive. He works really hard even though not happy in his environment. Has played LW and C this season, but RW is his natural position even though being a left shot.

Would Clifford + Greene be somewhat fair?

Caps need a 4LW and Clifford still has some upside to him to help ease off the shame off losing Forsberg to get Erat. Caps also need his grit to help keep Volpatti out of the line-up.
Greene gives the Caps some much needed RD depth for an eventual playoff birth and evens out the salaries going between the teams.
 
I have ZERO interest in Erat and his ****** attitude. I wouldn't take him if McPhee gave him to us for free. The guy defines locker room cancer. ****ing whiner thinks he can ask to be traded how many times?

Strongly doubt it. He's pretty redundant on our roster never mind the other issues and losing Greene would be bad for our depth at this point.

Edit: I just translated what RP said into PC English :laugh:
 
If you're Lombardi and are trying hard to get Kesler, and Vancouver asks for either Toffoli or Fasching, which one do you give up, assuming you give one up at all?

Well, if it came to that then you give up Fasching, but that seems unlikely. Seems like an odd fit too, don't really like the idea of getting another C/RW.
