It would be nice to have a pipeline again of some good young D - Molendyk, Gibson and Clarke would make a nice three-headed defenseman monster.

It does look a little like a Trotz move from a distance. Doughty missed a ton of time, is 35, comes back ... so they want to move their young d-man, who led the team in scoring from the backend I believe, to make room on the roster? At least they don't have to put him on the waiver wire and have that blow up in their face.

First Fubu and now Pred303. !@#$! you cancer
Please note this is an educated observation. From what I’m seeing in media and scaring circles Molendyk and Gibson might be the new Suter Weber if you’re bringing Clark, he might be the Ekholm?

Kings' prospect development has been very Predators-esque. He is a talented kid, but also definitely still has some holes in his game. It's also still just his first real season and they are still working Doughty back in. Even with the numbskulls in the Kings' FO I'd be surprised if there's much to this.

All of that is possible. It’s a first pairing and very good d man on the second pairing, which I’m a big proponent of.

Yeah, I don't think Brandt Clarke plays anything at all like Ekholm, but the guy has decent size and is just 22 and a RD to boot. He plays more like a taller Ryan Ellis. But if LA's GM is infected with some kind of brain disease and is willing to move him, we should take full advantage of that. If LA likes vets more than skilled young players, that'd be a great situation to leverage... if it truly exists. Heck, maybe we even have NMC guys who would waive for sunny LA!
A consolation prize could be Jordan Spence... if they also don't really like him anymore?

I'd pretty much put everything but our first and maybe Molendyk on the table for Clarke.

I don't know what LA's specific needs are, but I'm imagining it is going to be for more veteran assets as opposed to prospects or picks. Like if O'Reilly "waived" his unwritten NMC, or other guys would, etc. Since that seems to be their MO per their fans?
