Speculation: Jakob Chychrun being held out of the Coyotes lineup until a trade is completed

[SaltyElkHunter]

Nevermind, not worth the discussion anymore, this thread has strong "lol just pick sucky Vilardi up on waivers" vibes

This forum repeatedly is wrong wrong wrong about LA prospects but just doesn't learn.

That’s because the Kings actually develop their prospects instead of draft and play out of desperation like teams like Phoenix.

Kings are doing calculus while the coyotes are throwing rocks through a broken window of a vacant building!

which prospects has Bill Armstrong mishandled since he became GM?

 

[Martin Skoula]

At what point does the league step in and tell the Coyotes to knock it off and either trade him or play him?

“Tanking doesn’t exist in this league”. This is clearly 5D chess to win more games this season.

Good lord talk about overrating prospects

"We will only trade Clarke if we get someone way better than Clarke will ever be!"

Yeah.... Makar

What prospects has he developed? You guys are thinner than paper underwear because you can’t develop a roster.

AZ is 3-1-3 in their last 7....

Ah, the classic rebuttal of "do you even watch him?". As if that outweighs the fact that he's been horribly underwhelming in the AHL as the players drafted around him are top-6 F or top-4 D in the NHL.

Why does Turcotte have more value than someone like Vitali Kravtsov, who most people only think has the value of a 3rd round pick?

Probly because turcotte plays a style that translates even to a quality 3C center role where the perception of kravtsov is that of a top 6 or bust type. I don't watch him enough to know if that's the case or not, but that's what I pick up as of rn.

 

[lanceuppercut75]

Yeah.... Makar

Matthews will be traded to the Kings (with a long term extension) on July 1st and Clarke will be part of the trade.

We've learned year after year LA development team suck. Year after year every kings prospect is untouchable until they aren't. Thinking Byfield is going to be Tage Thompson and Clarke is untouchable only for Makar... Hope it works out for you. Never seen a someone so excited about 2 goals and 10 points playing on top line. "He's the reason Kopitar and Kempe are playing well" yeah that's definitely it.

so you are just making stuff up.

Macelli, Guenther, Crouse, Vedgie, Moser are the prospects/young players that have looked great this year. They also resalvaged Gostibehere and Valimaki's careers.

But you must have better information....

Eating crow on Vilardi is painful huh

next up: Byfield

I mean he's good when he's healthy. The issue is his back can go out at any moment.... Isn't he injured again?

Yeah I remember Byfield is carrying Kopitar and Kempe with his 2 goals and 10 points which have mainly been secondaries.

 

[trellaine201]

I didn’t realize he is American while his dad was born in Canada. I always thought Jakob was Canadian.

He's not wrong, since he referred to the "Phoenix" NHL team, which last existed in 2014.

Clarke is an untouchable, same as Byfield. The only way you put him in as part of a deal is with a player of the calliber like Makar. JC is no Makar.

Tell us more. How did you come to this conclusion? There must be a lot of untouchable players in the NHL. I'd trade Zegras or Drysdale for a realistic upgrade in a heartbeat but they aren't close to Byfield and Clarke tier.

Keller and Chychrun seem to be doing OK. And Maccelli and Moser and Guenther. Hayton is coming along.

I think it's a bit weird to flex on Vilardi being good (which he is) as being proof that fans on here are wrong about the Kings, while not mentioning that guys like Kupari, Turcotte, Bjornfot and Byfield haven't really shown the kind of progression you'd want out of where they were taken.

Just looking as an outsider, I think LA's drafting and developing recently has been more misses than hits. Anderson, Vilardi, Kaliyev, and Spence seem to be the most promising, but Kupari, Turcotte, Bjornfot, Byfield, Thomas (I remember he was super hyped back in the day) and Grans really don't appear to be progressing/didn't end up progressing as you wanted them to.

I too project my team's prospects as franchise defensemen who will become the top player in their position in the league in a generational capacity, disregarding the fact that there have been better defensive prospects chosen in the following draft (Jiricek or Nemec) who are already outperforming my own prospect.

 

[KapG]

Kings dodged a bullet. Of the opinion clarke is going to be a beauty and pretty soon too tbh.

 

[RABBIT]

 

[FSL KINGS]

Kings update for all the non King's fans. Their biggest need is at goal. The second biggest need is at center since they are playing 2guys at wing right now. Their 3rd biggest need is LD, but have a couple of options to patch that internally, unlike goal & center.

Chychrun is a luxury that doesn't move the needle for the team's needs right now. Especially at an ask more than Eichel.

He represented Canada at the only Int'l tourney hes ever played in

Is that Jay Leno?

Durzi, Turcotte and a ‘24 1st is extremely lowball.
