Eh first one is an Eklund rumor, second article is a blogger responding to the Eklund rumor and putting Carter on the table because that's the name the blogger came up with.

Realistically I can see Halak for a cap dump + pick, maybe with a lesser piece thrown in from either side. Doubt we'll get a blockbuster with Carter coming to the Island unless Snow has another "screw it" trade like he made for Vanek.

Tavares >= Kopitar
Harmonic <<< Doughty
Nelson << Carter
Halak > Budaj
Leddy >> 2nd, 7th

3 of the top 4 players are on the Kings, not a good trade for them

Halak for Green and 3rd round pick?

This is awful for LA and no way in hell would we deal our top 3 players let alone in a single trade. Kopitar and Tavares are close but the rest of that package doesn't get you close to Carter/Doughty. Big time fail.

After reading the thread title, I was sorta expecting a controller disconnected gif.

I mean, it's an Eklund rumor...

Bringing The Former #7 back to the Metro? I knew there was a reason we kept Dalton Prout on the roster... :box: :D

But yeah, if it's "multiplayer" I imagine the most significant name would be Halak plus a handful of other folks that technically qualify as players but that you wouldn't know unless you're familiar with both rosters. :)

Tavares is not better than Kopitar.

Interesting rumor that the Kings and Islanders are talking about a multiplayer trade. Links below:

http://eyesonisles.com/2016/11/04/new-york-islanders-looking-make-deal-kings/

The second article is crazy to think that the Kings would trade Carter, considering we have trouble scoring. But curious to see what Islanders fans would propose to solve both of our problems.

I think Carter would be a good fit for the Isles and in the Metro.

My guess is that Nelson would need to go the other way, but not sure what the add would be.

If Halak goes with Nelson - $ and value is an obstacle. Seems like u would need other pieces to work out, does Scudero or Greene go the other way to balance out $.

What about value? Who do Isles send over - don't think any youngins would be involved. Is the answer Lee?

So let's See that spelled out see Halak, Nelson, Lee for Carter and Greene
That might be too pricey, maybe swap Prince for Lee- is that enough though?
I do think Carter would reinforce that top 6.

LA & NYI struggling with offense, so they're going to get pieces from each other to fix their offenses?

Edit: Wait that blogger's saying Carter for a goalie and a depth forward. :laugh:

If the Kings are trading Carter they are going to tank and wouldn't need a goalie coming back.
