Value of: Dustin Brown

[Brightwing]

What kind of return would LA want for him? Looking at him as a fit for Chicago. Who else would be interested?

If Chicago is going to make a playoff run, it might be a good fit. We have cap space from Seabrook going on LTIR and we need a right shot, especially on PP1. Basically looking at him to replace Andrew Shaw if Shaw is out for the season.

Really don’t see the Kings moving him
Me personally no interest in him

Blake has openly and repeatedly stated to the players and publicly that the tear down was complete. He's told Friedman that (on 2/22) and more recently Bernstein's sources confirmed the kings are not going to add.

To get past that hurdle would require Brown to ask to be traded or for a significant overpayment. I imagine Blake would not want to be perceived to have lied to his players. It would have to be worth it for him to do so.

Kings are in a playoff race I don't see us trading our top goal scorer this year. Looking at a massive over payment for us to think about it. Not worth continuing this conversation

I remember everyone on hfboards saying Dustin Brown is overrated
let's keep it this way
oh and Drew Doughty is extremely overrated as well
we're keeping both
thanks!

Probably better off not asking for a lifer from another team

He was 19 on The Athletic's trade board so I thought it was fair to ask.

probably wont be moved since he'll probably retire a king. for discussion sake at the deadline, 1st and chicagos best d propect.

If Brown wants to leave and the Kings can get a first round pick, sure let's do it. Otherwise I don't see a point.

 

[kthx]

If he moves I would love him in Boston.

I don't have the athletic. Since that's the case, I will say it was fair to ask about what the kings would be needing. A lot of posters go straight to offering a bag of pucks (pre-owned) or say their team would take him as a cap dump for vilardi.

Your premise is Brown is a good pickup for a team (Chicago) for a possible playoff push.

FYI, LA is looking to make a possible playoff push, although we may stand pat on the acquisitions and let our youngsters fill in gaps. The exception may be a LHD.

Given his current ability and actual pay amount, plus his history as leader and playoff performer, Brown is a significant asset.

I would be fine with either Chicago or Boston 1st rounder
