Hypothetical/Fun: Trading Kopitar, Doughty and Quick

[Chruceg]

It's summer and I'm bored so I thought I would start off a theoretical discussion. What would it take to get fair value for each of our three superstars. Let me begin by saying that any suggestion is in no way an advocation for that trade ... it's just what you think it would take to give up one of these guys. Cap doesn't matter. Also, and this is important, it doesn't matter if the other team would accept ... because we aren't giving up any of these guys anyway. I think they main point of discussion here is what being suggested enough for any of these guys.

I will kick it off

To Winnipeg: Doughty
To LA: Trouba, Morrisey, Connor, and Copp
Rationale: Those two guys cover Doughty's minutes and we pick up forward depth

To Montreal: Kopitar
To LA: Kotkaniemi, Poehling, and Montreal's 2019 1st
Rationale: Center for hopefully depth at forward
(I totally forgot Galchenyuk got traded and had him included ... at this point I don't think it is enough ... Please ignore it)

To Vancouver: Kopitar
To LA: Petterson, Horvat, Lind, Vancouver's 2019 1st
Rationale: Center for hopefully depth at forward (This works better I think)

To Philadelphia: Quick
To LA: Provorov, Konecny, Lyon, and Sanheim
Rationale: Goalie for defensive depth and a solid backup

And just to repeat I am in no way advocating any of these trades this is just a summer time waster. What do you folks think?

(Edited because I am a donk)

I think Montreal cannot trade Galchenyuk since he is not on their team, that's what I think.

No thanks.

I honestly don't think the Flyers would (or should) trade Provorov. I get that they've always needed a goalie, but Provorov is a stud and only 21 years old.

I would do this trade right now.

Quick won't get that much of a return. A standard return for a goalie is a first round pick or lower. So expect a first + prospect at best.

Not the point of the thread. I don't want Quick traded. The idea is what would YOU want back for Quick if you wanted to trade him? In my opinion his contract his extremely team friendly and I would have to be blown away.

I would do this trade right now.

What if Vancouver took away the first rounder? Still do it?

I would do Pettersson for Kopitar straight up. Vancouver wouldn't.

 

[Chruceg]

I wouldn't. As much as Pettersson is blowing away the SEL he is still a prospect with 0 NHL experience. I would need more than that. At least some proven NHL talent.

You’re outta your f***ing mind, bro

Wtf has Pettersson proven that deserves Kopitar, an elite, 2x Selke C winner in return? Gotta hear this!

“Size? Potential? Ceiling?”

Pettersson will be lucky if he sniffs the jock of Kopi’s FUTURE stats. Unknown.

There’s a point where being a homer and being a realist diverge and collide. You just done so, bruddaman

Let's not get bent out of shape in here. It's a fantasy thread for the depths of summer.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I think the Kings should try to trade Kyle Clifford for Connor McDavid.

I guarantee you Vancouver wouldn't trade Pettersson for Kopitar straight up.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I guarantee you Vancouver wouldn't trade Pettersson for Kopitar straight up.

Given where that team is, of course they wouldn't. Just as the Kings wouldn't have dealt Kopitar for a veteran center back in 2006. And given where the Kings are at, why would they do that?

I know you don't want Quick traded. I'm just saying what the market is for goalies.

I would want a 1st + A or B prospect, since that is more than the going rate for goalies. If Blake traded him for less I would be very upset.

Annnd this is when I close HFBoards for the day.

Right!? So I'm not the only crazy one, my brother, Slim.

LOL @ Pettersson for Kopitar. GTFO

No your not the only crazy one in this board Trouty Now is that a good thing or not? I can't answer As for the kopitar for Pettersson i agree with u that is crazy to think they would pass on that

 

[johnjm22]

I don't need to state the case for trading Kopitar for Pettersson because it's obvious. There's certainly a case for NOT making that move as well, but lets not pretend like there isn't sense to it hypothetically speaking.

There is no sense in it, without a proven product in Pettersson, when we're talking about a Hart finalist and 2x Selke C, coming off the best year of his career.

Sure, the allure (in this random ass trade) of getting younger is enticing, but dude hasn't done fug all in the league, especially to warrant a franchise 1C HoF in return, still in his prime and showing no signs of slowing down.

John, I generally agree with your takes, but you've lost me here, amigo

 

[Herby]

Vancouver would never do it in a million years, no debating that side of it. Blake probably wouldn't do it either because the Kings management believes they have a legit shot at the SC and unless Kopitar's game collapses or Pettersson is some kind of superstar from the start he probably won't be passing Kopitar until atleast the 2020-2021 season.
