Around the NHL - Part XLII - (2023-24 Season edition)

That plus Kupari.

May be more going back from Winnipeg for all we know but yikes.

Viliardi and Iafallo are good players.

I wouldn't swap Vilardi for PLD, 1 for 1, let alone add Iafallo and Kupari.

 

[Leonardo87]

If the reports are true, oh my god did the kings get hosed in that deal for PLD.

Good. lol. They are the Devils of the west.

 

[duhmetreE]

I wouldn't mind Iaffalo

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Better question is what is St Louis doing?

Getting a 50+ point player for a 6th round pick?

Getting a 50+ point player for a 6th round pick?

Philly retaining half his salary is the only reason why StL even did the deal

 

[cheech70]

should we be in any of this

 

[JimmyG89]

All I know is that Gorton finally got his guy. We were rumored like crazy to try and get that pick from Colorado.

 

[will1066]

No thanks

Well ya, they got a 50+ player that should be making 5 mill for 3.5 for a 6th round pick. Compare him and Goodrow and tell me who you'd rather.

Can we have not both?

Vilardi has recurring back issues and will probably never play a full season. Iafallo is JAG. Kupari is a donut.

PLD is an actual 1C entering his prime. Do that trade all day.

Who cares about how many nickels and dimes you get rid of when you get a dollar back.

 

[cheech70]

Laf gets way more than Newhook...5OA for laffy would put Gorts in the Habs hall of fame

I'd take Hayes at 3.5, be a nice 3rd line C, could slide Chytil to Rw and send goodrow to the moon.

I used to like Hayes and did not support his trade away from the Rangers at the time. But his type of game is becoming if not has become archaic in today's uptempo league.

Depends on where he's slotted, there's still room for big bodied guys who protect the puck well, take faceoffs, and he has a great set of hands. Paul Stastny made a career out of it. If Hayes was playing with say Kreider and Chytil i wouldn't mind that at all, i mean ofcourse if we dumped Goodrow off.

 

[Kords]

Great haul for the Jets.... Kings out Rangering the Rangers

 

[Loff]

Woof. All that for a headcase. Hope it backfires badly.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

LA trading Vilardi AND Iafallo?

 

[RangersFan1994]

Makes more than Goodrow

 

[Draft Guru]

Glad we have Zibanejad at 8x8.5 rather than Horvat or Dubois. Yuck.

 

[duhmetreE]

Makes more than Goodrow

also better than Goodrow

 

[NYR94]

Glad we have Zibanejad at 8x8.5 rather than Horvat or Dubois. Yuck.

Some clown in the Dubois trade thread thought otherwise. He said Zibanejad wasn't a 1C.

 

[duhmetreE]

Glad we have Zibanejad at 8x8.5 rather than Horvat or Dubois. Yuck.

there pacing similarly. lets see if PLD takes off like Zibs did in his age 25 season.

I feel as if Zibs has so much more to offer at even strength.

[Kords]

On paper they are getting better but I wonder if they are doing that thing where you swap too many players for new guys and it kills the magic.
