Speculation: Kings Interested In Hanzal

The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
Be tough to beat having Kopitar/Carter/Hanzal down the middle. Hanzal could also take some defensive assignments away from Kopitar allowing him some freedom offensively. A lot of options upfront if we could acquire another good defensive center...Carter on Kopitar's wing even.
 
"According to Friedman, Coyotes general manager John Chayka is believed to be seeking a young player, preferably a center, in return for Hanzal."

Hey John, have I ever told you about the hidden treasure that is Nick Shore?

my first thought coming in was this However would the coyoates trade him within his division and t what price ( there would have to be a add to shore)
 
Big pass. Third-line center who's gonna command big money in free agency. Would rather spend that money elsewhere.
 
The Coyotes would love to get Shore back in return. They are all into advanced stats right? Isn't Shore like a corsi god?

He's a UFA at the end of the season, they can't match the $3.1m he's making this year, let alone the increase he'll get in free agency, so he most likely wouldn't be a King beyond this season.

Which is why I mentioned Dowd and or McNabb who were are likely to lose to expansion anyway.

If Lombardi would get a UFA, then he's in for this season. I'm not sure the expansion draft would come into play first and foremost if that's the case. Landeskog, that would be a little different, he's signed. Look at what Lombardi has done before, in terms of a UFA deadline trade. He doesn't trade guys on the roster, so I'm not sure Dowd or McNabb would even be involved.
 
Only if they include Old-Man Doan!

If you can get him cheap enough sure. Wouldn't want to give up Dowd for him though. By cheap I mean like Shore cheap.

Getzlaf, Kesler, Vermette say hi..Oh and we have thompson coming back from injury too.
 
This the rental type of deal I hope LA does not do...unless it's for Shore. I see Dowd as the #3 next year and Hanzal as an upgrade on Shore.
