What would the price be on Vilardi?

He'll end up with 25 this year mostly playing with a 4th line center in Lizotte and also missing some games to injury. He is great around the net especially on the PP... great hands. Perry like without the BS.

His value is exponentially going to increase if he plays with better players. If we can land a playing making center to play with Fiala and Vilardi, he would be a 30+ goal scorer.

His value right now is sky high for the Kings. We don't have a young RW, right shot that can score besides him.
Hard to gauge value and price on prospect that we will never trade. On the low end my guess would be a 1st + 2 good prospects, but why would the Kings do that anyways, they spent so much time rehabilitating and developing him from his past back injuries. Time to reap the rewards for their patience.

Why do people want to move RV? He’s way better than Fagemo, if anything you cash in on Fagemo and keep RV. Why do we need to make room for a kid who isn’t better than the current player? Mind numbing logic. Move Moore if you have to, I’m just not sure they have to. Move Iafallo easily. Let Edler retire and trade Walker. You move Roy only if there’s an offer that blows you away.

Anderson-Doughty
Gavrikov/UFA-Roy
Bjornfot-Durzi
*Clarke/Spence

You want to keep a player at the end of his career and trade a youngster with a way higher upside?
Arvidson is one of the worst players on the Kings roster.
He has a shoot first mentality without owning a lethal shot, which breaks so many plays and create turnover.

Fagemo is absolutely on the right track and does nothing else than scoring goals, he is our future top6 winger.

This is why people want to move RV, he blocking space for talented youngsters and can't be gone early enough

Forget picks and prospects, with the trading of the team's last two first rounder's, the team is in win now mode. Straight up: Arber Xhekaj for Durzi
You just have been told picks only

What would the price be on Vilardi?
Vilardi was never on the table

If J Quick can be traded I wouldn't be surprised if any one on the kings get traded. Look at how well we have been playing without him. No player is untradeable
J Quick is in the last year of his contract. It's much easier to move than say three years ago when people really wanted him moved. lol
 
Sean Durzi

plays almost 20 minutes a night
27th in the NHL in D-man points
22nd in the NHL in D-man power play points

No, he's not a defensive wizard, but he is top tier 3rd pair dman on a playoff team that can handle 2nd pair minutes in a pinch . A lot of people undervalue what he brings.

End of his career? He’s 29 for christs sake. Fagemo is 22. I could understand this logic if Arvidsson was 33. Is he blocking space or is Fagemo not good enough to displace him?
 
GM Dan Millstean of the Canucks will sign Gavrikov…. They seem to have something going there with Russians….
The Caps have more going with Russians than most teams, obviously bcuz of OV. If Korpisalo re-signs, then I think Gavrikov might reconsider re-signing as well. I think Gavrikov re-signing would be a win/win situation for both himself and the Kings.

your not getting it so ill go basic with the logic on trading rv He makes 4,2 million on cap. virlardi makes 825 k with a raise coming and Arthur Kaliyev makes 894 167 k both super cheap. They are the ones taking rvs spot not fagemo. FAGEMO WOULD THEN BE ABLE TO REPLACE THEM ON 3RD 4TH LINES TO GET HIS FEET WET. .Also allows turcotte too get a shot

We love him to bits. Looking at outrageous price m, as in 4x 1st.

Went through a lot of development years with him. Just now starting to see the results.
Are you saying Vlardi who has back issues (who's also been injured for most of his professional career) and 36 points (with a career high of 38 points) is worth 4 first round picks? I hope I'm reading that wrong......

He is saying he is not available. Why would LA even think of moving him at this point.

That's totally fine and fair if fans/HFBoards think he's not available, but he's not worth anything near 4 first round picks.

Playing 20 minutes per night doesn't mean much if you don't play them well. Durzi leads the team's defensemen in giveaways/60 and high danger chances against/60. His -11 is also the worst of the group and he takes twice as many penalties as he draws. The only reason why he has value (outside of fantasy leagues) is that he scores a lot on the powerplay. LA will be better once they find someone (hopefully, Clarke) who can replace that scoring on the powerplay without being a liability at even strength.

Oh he is not worth that at all. Just stating a asking price that is so elevated nobody will want to pay that price.

HFBoard asking price 4 x 1st.
Realistic NHL GM asking price 1st + Top prospect.

Good comparison would be to Kempe the year he broke out. He should be able to reach 30 goals now regularly starting next year. This year he would have provided he didn't miss time.

Fagemo's shot is top notch. I take him over Arvidson every day of the week.
TM is forced to play the vets for a fantasy veteran reunion tour, this has nothing to do with Fagemo not being good enough.
Fagemo is a future 30+ goal scorer

Yep, you are reading it right.

Vilardi is not available at all and if someone tries to get him, they would pay the fantasy price, the Kings are asking or no deal.

My fellow Kings peeps here are even mild, i would put the price on 12 1st rounders, including 6 1st OA picks

Or somebody could just send him an offer sheet for around 6 mil a year and get him for a 1st and 3rd.
 
Don't know why anyone would want Durzi. he is not an NHL caliber defenseman. Terrible defensive IQ. He'll turn it over and instead of skating back into position.....he'll still pinch and then make the slowing turn possible and backcheck like he's been on the ice for 2 full minutes. Buyers beware.

Will he put up points? Sure he will, but he'll then give up 3-4 good chances. He's not worth anymore than a 3rd...and even that seems steep.
McDavid loves playing against this guy. Can confirm
 
I'm most curious about the backend logjam. Have no idea what the Kings are going to do there. Like some posters have said, I think Durzi is incredibly overrated and was never a fan of Sean Walker. The Kings have to make room for boy wonder Clarke and it can't be him as the 7th/pressbox D
 
The value of Durzi is close to that of DeAngelo, he's almost exactly the same but without any baggage and is still RFA after next season. That would be offset by slightly lower production than DeAngelo.
