Value of: Established goalie to LAK for Kaliyev + ?

[David Lunch]

It’s too early to truly start this thread, but it’s more than just a thought experiment now. Alex Laferriere has emerged as a talented, hard working kid that’s thirsty to stick on the team. Kaliyev is a talented young scorer that keeps getting dicked around in his development. The Kings biggest need is still a goalie and they’ll try and accrue every last penny-between-the-couch-cushions of Cap space to acquire someone around the deadline. I trust you can all do the math!

Trade Kaliyev?

Nah. You'd miss his physical play.

 

[Choralone]

Best case scenario was that LA could limp along with their sub-par goaltending committee until the trade deadline, but we may not have that luxury. Still, we can try to outscore our problems for a while. Not every team is as good as Colorado.

 

[MNRube]

Talbot as your #1 is tough but I’m not sure Kaliyev has enough value around the league to bring back more than another band-aid.

 

[Some Other Flame]

In the short term, seems pretty ridiculous the Kings couldn't be bothered to take a chance on Vladar

 

[Hollel]

I really don’t see how Kaliyev is A. Getting dicked around and B. Lafferiere is making him expendable. But ok

 

[Herby]

The problem is Kaliyev’s value is probably at the lowest point it’s been since he was drafted, he’s not a kid anymore. And most importantly he is on an ELC and the Kings are so up against the cap they couldn’t afford to add a veteran goalie making more than that unless a team retained, which would cost the Kings more assets.

The Kings will have to look at moving Roy, Moore or Danault (probably in that order) for a goaltender if it comes to that point (which I’m thinking it will). You just can’t call yourself a contender with 2 goalies like this.

Do you recall that Michigan goalie Kings acquired and signed by the name of Eric Portillo who is 22 yrs old.

spare parts aren’t getting you a #1 goalie

DO YOU WANT ELVIS MERZLIKINS

 

[bernmeister]

Rangers are not a fit, decline, unless you want to overpay top $$$ for Shesty, NY gambles w/Garand.

That discussion should go into a different, new thread

I doubt the Rangers are looking to trade arguably the best goalie in the league, unless they were offered a top 10 skater in the league.

MAYBE THEY WANT JAKE ALLEN

 

[KingsHockey24]

It's not fair.

Carolina out here just chilling with three starter caliber goalies.

What Rs actually do and what they should be doing, especially per bern, may be 2 dif things.
If enuf value in proper currency, Rs can/should consider.
Not clear LA is the best match there/would provide best offer.
Again, needs a dif thread b'c how OP specifically worded this thread

why not think long term?

Keep Talbot, expose the administration for the incompetent buffoons they are

clean house, have them fired

short retool, properly, with administrators that didn't take too many pucks to their faces during their career

Bowlby is braindead
Robitaille is braindead
Bergevin is braindead

this is obvious

stop putting Band-Aids on a problem, concussions don't require Band-Aids

would the flames trade in division?

 

[Detroit Knights]

whatever get's accepted, add another pick and edmonton swoops in and takes the deal away from lak lol

I will take things that will never happen for 1000 alex (RIP) ... how bout some logical solutions instead of just miserableness ?

I really don’t see how Kaliyev is A. Getting dicked around and B. Lafferiere is making him expendable. But ok

did you watch last nights game and the preseason? laf was a stud yo ...

No I agree. My point is that they both should have a spot if that’s the case…

 

[TheBeard]

LA should hold off until the season’s half over and see how teams like Nashville are doing. If they’re struggling then they’re probably more open to dumping Saros although it wouldn’t be cheap.

They don't have the cap

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Saros' availability likely far more dependent on how Askarov looks versus where they are in the standings. But yeah, it won't be cheap.

 

[Tripod]

Philly should be offering Hart to LA and Oilers and go to highest bidder

Well boy is Nashville in luck, because Blake loves to overpay

Moore is untradeable (and not just because he has a modified no-trade clause this season). No one is going to take a 10-15 goal scorer making $4.2M for the next 5 seasons. That was such a dumb extension by Blake. He could've given that spot and $1M of that to someone else, like Anderson-Dolan, Fagemo, Lafferiere or Turcotte, and then had $3.2M + Talbot's $1M = $4.2M to put towards a better goaltender.
