Eklund Rumor: Kings and Islanders talking multiplayer?

[PatrikOverAuston]

I would as well, but we're Isles fans so I think I undersold toffoli too much. change the 3rd to a 2nd, possibly even both picks if we get a replacement pick back also. Some condition like swap 2nds if Isles pick is better the LA if not then swap 3rds.

You're talking a 30-goal 24-year-old. Damn right you undersold him.

 

[KingCanadain1976]

Halak would likely be claimed by Las Vegas. I don't think that going into next season with him on the payroll is really a concern. Even if Las Vegas were to pass on him, he's good enough that someone will be willing to take him off of LA's hands for free, if need be, if not in the offseason, then during the preseason, after someone goes down to injury or struggles.

I am not going to gamble on vegas taking a over price goalie when they have a choice of mcnabb or dowd or even lewis Sorry not happening imo we would be stuck with him. Better goalie options out there for vegas then halak Sorry not going to take him at full price.

So the Kings of cap hell or going to trade the one guy with a good cap hit?

you could make it a first and still kings would say no Toffoli is our future star Not going anywhere without a massive overpayment. I would go so far as to say after doughty and kopitar he would be the most untouchable king on the roster

fair enough, what if I replace kulemin with lee in my original offer.

Halak + Lee + '17 2nd for Brown and Toffoli

Lee 26 with the potential to score 20+

Would offer Nelson in Lee's spot but $ doesn't work out for the Isles that way.

 

[KingCanadain1976]

Greene has another year pending regardless, so they'd still be on the hook for $2.5M of that. They'll also need to replace King if they don't re-sign him.

You're correct in that LA will need to free up money to resign their key RFAs, but Halak wouldn't be the impediment there- think, oh, I don't know... Dustin Brown, maybe?

I ll take a year of greene at 2.5 and mersch at 786 666 or kempe at 894 166 over a 4 .5 million goalie 99/100 times. We already have a backup goalie signed for next year at 900 000

So thats 2.5 greene kempe 900k to make it easier and zatkoff at 900 k makes it 4.2 million for 3 roster spots and your goalie costs us 4.5 on his own not to mention we would still have to replace king and greene Much cheaper without halak

if your looking at toffoli you're starting with a 1st and strome + He s is a 30 goal scorer on a uber defensive team He plays pp and pk one of the best in the league on pk. As stated earlier i think hes 3rd on the kings list of untouchable players.

 

[A Pointed Stick]

Tavares, Nelson, Hamonic, Leddy, Halak for Kopitar, Doughty, Carter, Budaj, a 2nd and a 2025 7th

You won the thread and I didn't need to go past post #2. THANK YOU!

Holy cow man, these rumors from shady sources come in and it is open season on common sense. Btw, you left out swapping Brooklyn for North Hollywood. I'd do that deal if you throw in the La Brea Tar Pits.

 

[member 88115]

Jokes aside. If Leddy is not available, neither is Toffoli, Carter, Pearson, Dowd and the obvious Kopitar, Muzzin or Doughty. Have a field day getting your offense going with the rest of LA squad

We didn't start the thread so please back off the lemon aid, yo. It was technically started by that magic box of crazy. If a deal went down it would probably be you getting Halak and us getting a pick and some ugly salary you want gone (not Brown, that contract's in a class all of its own.)

I'd be fine with strome going to LA if Toffoli is coming back, but making it worth LA's while by taking brown back makes it tricky with the cap and salary implications.

Halak (4.5) + Strome + (.85) + Kulemin (4.2) + '17 2nd for brown (5.85) Toffoli (3.25).

Can't justify giving up the 1st rounder though unless its a swap of 1sts giving the Isles the lower pick obviously.

Lets just keep adding jenga blocks to this teetering tower, gotta love eklund rumors lol

No thanks My counter toffoli brown and martinez for strome 1st leddy and brube even then i dunno Honestly hard to trade the 3rd best player on the kings with such a bright future without it being a overpayment

fair offer tbh, but I think each ownership group values their rising stars too much for it to happen. Snow isn't considering moving Leddy just like Lombardi won't move Toffoli. Also with the deal you offered isles would be way over cap. would have to swap berube and halak for it to work and even then isles are slightly over cap unless they put Grabovski on LTIR.

what if the kings took Kulemin instead of halak ? I actually liked him when he was a leaf and he plays a strong two way game and would replace king who can move down where he should be

 

[Baymen4]

so Strome (.85) + Leddy (5.5) + Kulemin (4.2) + Berube (.675) + 1st 11.2

for

Brown (5.85) + Toffoli (3.25) + Martinez (4) 13.10

Isles have just over a million in space so they're still over the cap with this trade, but I like it besides the first round pick still would like a swap with isles getting lower pick. If kings retain 25 percent of martinez (1 million) they could make it work.

 

[Ropesman]

why do people even bother posting this hacks garbage content? The guy is no more an "insider" then any of us on this message board. Actually probably much less then many around here, as lots of people around here actually come up with realistic ideas.

counter
Strome leddy kulemin berube 1st
for brown martinez and toffoli million retained and 3rd
i would rather the million come from toffoli as it would only be this year retained

Lol we're getting closer, still think the 1st is really too much especially with the way the isles have been playing could be a decent pick this year. Hear what you're saying only wanting to retain for one year, but isles would have problems resigning Toffoli as it is the million off martinez makes it easier to swap him and leddy. Turn our first into a 2nd+3rd and we could make it work. Would have to let Clutterbuck walk after this season or he has to take a pay cut after a trade of de Haan or Hickey at the deadline to recoup the pick(s). (I'm assuming Toffoli gets a Kucherov esque deal at just under 5 mill.)

 

[KingsOfCali25]

Look Brown isn't going anywhere. If it's a deal to get a goalie...Halak(25%) for a player with salary and a pick. If it's for scoring...Carter and King for Strome, Nelson, Berube, prospect and 2nd

Carter 5.27 King 1.95

Puts Isles over the cap would love carter but his cap makes it difficult unless Kings take something back like kulemin instead of nelson or halak 25% retained instead of berube.

It could be Halak @ 25% instead of berube

 

[King'sPawn]

Not for Halak obviously but just out of curiosity would LA entertain trading Carter? I would think they'd want to keep him.

I'm of the opinion that any player is attainable for the right price.

But a cost controlled 2nd line player signed long term would be very costly.

wait a sec here strome is making 2.5 million not .8
lets do this math again
leddy making 5.5
strome 2.5
Kulemin 4.2
berube .675
12.875

brown 5.875
Toffoli 3.25
Martinez 4
13.125

back to the original strome leddy berube kulemin and a first for brown toffoli martinez and a 3rd

Ah you are right was looking at last years numbers. Something like this isn't terrible for either side, but as we said neither management will trade their rising star(Leddy or Toffoli). I still feel Isles are giving more with ledgy stroke then they're getting in martinez and Toffoli, Brown and Kulemin are similar(brown better for playoff experience and leadership) and berube is an added bonus. I think the picks need to be different for it to happen, but players wise it's pretty even.
