Proposal: Kings liquidation. GavrikovDanault, and Fiala

[Fixed to Ruin]

to add to this, 4 were also with their starter on IR

And no Drew Doughty

 

[Lunatik]

And no Drew Doughty

You know it's a terrible thread when an Oilers fan and Flames fan are agreeing at how bad of an idea this is for another team in division haha

 

[Bouboumaster]

Danault to Montréal

Let's correct an injustice

A 2026 1st is obviously off the table, but I'd do 2025 2nd and 3rd

Seems like a strange time for the Kings to liquidate. Especially since 7 of those 8 games were played on the road.

Yah some kings fans gave up on the season before any pucks were dropped .. haha no me though, I choose hope .. lol just like every year

King's fans know.

Edit: Only reason not to do the teardown immediately is that Bluc is still here.

That seems a bit lowball, i'd rather forget about the injustice and trade him somewhere for a decent offer.

Fair enough

I wouldn't go higher from the Habs because of his age versus the fact that we have a younger group, but for sure L.A. would be likely to receive better offer from elsewhere, like a contender who is looking for a 2nd/high end 3rd center for the playoffs

 

[JTeller97]

This thread is probably a year premature. The exodus of a lot of the roster is coming but it won't ensue until the change in management occurs. Danault would probably be the first domino to fall especially if Turcotte continues to emerge. I'd fully expect him to net a 1st and a B level prospect, every contending team should covet a player like him.

They have only beaten Buffalo, Montreal, San Jose, and Anaheim.

This Kings team beats bad teams, and gets beaten badly by good ones. The definition of a pretender.

 

[BlueSeal]

Kings aren't liquidating, they're going to ride or die.

 

[CanadienShark]

Nope not as top pairing

You won't get that calibre of prospect in a trade though.

 

[Telos]

I mean, I wish they would liquidate, but there is no way they will with Blake at the helm because he is all in to save his job and I doubt AEG ejects him before the trade deadline or even season end. I think they let him finish out his contract and if they don't go deep in the postseason that's it. The Kings have an "interesting" lineup this year that isn't passing the eye test to most fans, especially compared to their record, but they are definitely ride or die this year.

 

[Guitpik]

As long as the biggest boat anchor in the Kings organization remains in the man, the myth, the mystery Rob Blake is calling shots, none of this is happening.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

It’s not even 10 games in yet, have some faith.

Winnipeg may be interested down the stretch but I think LA blocked Chevy’s number.

 

[cwede]

Gavrikov- looking for a 1st 2025 and a prospect
Danault- looking for a first in 2026
Fiala- Looking for a 1st 2026 and RHD prospect. (Isn’t that ironic)

It only takes one motivated buyer, so LA might get firsts for each of those guys

But i wouldn't be surprised if neither Gav, nor Danault, return that much (yes, they might, yes there is precedent, but gotta find that willing and generous taker)

And Fiala, at ~$8M, may require retention for a team to fit him

 

[LPHabsFan]

Man I am shocked to find that Danault is trying to be shipped out by Kings fans with 3 years (including this one) left on his contract.

Who ever could have seen this happening?

i feel like the Kings would gain more by trading Danault with retention at the TDL when his contract ends rather than now.

 

[innitfam]

Canucks will take one Gavrikov

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Is BargainBin still in LA?

He doesn’t sell, like ever

Pfft. Danault has been great overall. Kings fans want to ship anyone and everyone with value out because this lineup's future looks bleak and they want to get value out of everyone while value is there.

Imagine quitting on your team 10 games in

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

For the record I quit on them 2 summers ago when they went full send on Dubois.

 

[StrompTroller]

I'd go Danault for Rosen a 2nd and Joki

Kings fans are weird. You think this is a Rob Blake thing, as if the management of another club that is in the middle of the standings (or better in this case) would liquidate their roster. That is not a thing that happens anywhere.

I do that proposed Danualt trade immediately from a Jets perspective if I had the power.
