While a little part of me is paranoid Blake will do something stupid, I don’t think there’s any realistic possibility a 20-year-old Byfield who started to show considerable progress will be included for a middling 2nd-line center.
Well those on You tube who are affiliated with Jets that are talking about this trade all say that QB will have to be included in the deal going the other way. These are the same people pushing this deal. If you think that the Jets are going to trade PLD for lower value, you are not thinking straight. Remember they gave up the second overall pick to acquire PLD and QB was in the same draft order.

What they say is meaningless. They are neither Rob Blake nor Kevin Cheveldayoff.

Think back to who the Jets gave inorder to acquire PLD. Liame second overall pick in his draft year, what pick did QB go. 2nd overall. Now if you think the Jets are going to give PLD up for less. Good luck on that.

How does that inform PLD’s present value in any way when he’s one year from UFA (unlike the years of team control WPG got in the trade for him), he has shown to be nothing more than an inconsistent 2nd-line center, and is actively pushing his way off his second team?

Then if your assessment of him is correct, why would the Kings want that mess on their team. The jets gave up a 2nd overall for PLD and they will ask for equal value. If not QB, Then Vilardi, high prospects or draft picks. You are dreaming if you think the Jets will give him away for nothing.

I don’t necessarily want him but am resigned to the fact that the Kings apparently do.

Trade values are not one-to-one equivalencies when one player is traded more than once, particularly when one trade was several years before UFA status whereas this one would be one year before UFA status.

Finally, I doubt it will be cheap but I can all but promise you (considering I am not Rob Blake, I can’t offer 100% certainty) Byfield will not be included if it happens. I would guess it will likely be Vilardi (which is almost a lateral move) and/or Kaliyev and/or Spence plus salary going back the other way.

If Vilardi and Spence are involved in this supposed trade, Then Blake should be fired before this trade takes place. I would never give up Vilardi who is reaching his potential and spence who is on the cusp of reaching his. Kinks must keep their prospects that they have developed and have started to produce. Persnnally If I were Blake I would have acquired Echiel and our first line center issue would have been solved, trading for problem child who we will be lucky to fill the third center position doesn't do a thing for our first line center problem that is right around the corner.

Dubois’ agent is Luc’s BFF, Pat Brisson. This all makes sense now. Brisson is why Bergevin is on the payroll. Brisson is the pimp of all ho’s for SoCal hockey players. The Ducks (5) and Kings (3) have the most guys he gets a cut for their services.

Pacioretty was a Brisson client at the time of the rumored move from Bergevin’s Montreal team to LA. Almost Kings Jack Eichel is a Brisson client.

And so is Anze Kopitar. So when Dean baulked at crossing the $10M mark on Kopitar’s extension, it was Luc that Brisson bitched to until it got done.

I can see a deal shaped around 3 for 1, with the centerpiece being Vilardi, primarily due to money. The rest would be Iafallo because he has two years left and Turcotte because the Kings don’t have a first and Turcotte could be greased through by Brisson

Yup. That’s how trades work. There are no other variables involved.

I would fire Blake if he trades Vilardi. He is finally producing and has topped out yet. He is a keeper.

You tube is lit up with PLD going to Kings Rumors. Player involve going to the Jets. QB, Turkot, Vilardi and draft picks. Jets can keep him as far as I am concerned. Kings need to resign Vilardi and settle on what they are going to do about signing another goaltender.
Jets GM has mobilized his forces attempting to pressure Blake.
Very Napoleanic.
Blake needs to stay away.
Next time Jets contact Blake he should have lowered the offer to borderline ridiculous.
No Vilardi, no QB. No dice

If the Kings acquire PLD then QB will be in the package going to the Jets.
If Blake was going to trade QB it would have happend.
He is not.
QB is having a sneaky breakout as a 1LW.
This is promising for him moving bac to C eventually and ultimately 1C.
Other GM's see it and are throwing trades at Blake now.
Steady hands Rob!
Many commentators ignore how good L1 was with Byfield and are caught up on the statistics , especially the lack of goals.
They have it completely wrong!
He learned a lot to be effective with his all star tutors, Kopi and Kempe/
His passing, retrieval, cycling and board play was often good.
Notice how he uses Kopi like techniques to protect the puck now.
The improved stats will follow if he is allowed to continue to incubate on L1

I hope so because at the end of the day, he needs to produce goals. lots of them.

Interesting theories with potential supporting evidence.
I am thinking Blake is too smart to do this but Luc and Bergevin are at the table pressuring while texting Brisson, telling PLD to sign long term with the Kings after WPG. has said this is your opportunity or you might be stuck in the Peg.
You tubers and media all chiming in.
Blake needs to continue to say no, I will resign if you take this out of my hand, so shut up Luc and Bergevin.
Blake could escape the slow burn he has going, right as Vegas makes him look bad, and he is stuck between building a winner or having to make questionable moves before TMac and he expire.
His record would be somewhat absolved for him to potentially get a gig somewhere else.
Otherwise this proposed trade ruins Blake as a GM because QB goes big time over the next decade and PLD, gets bored, makes bad locker room vibes and dicks the Kings around just like he has on every team he plays for.

If Luc is pushing this deal, then he should be fired, he hasn't done a thing for the Kings.

Blake made the playoffs 2 years in a row. Making changes to improve playoff success & y'all think his buddy Luc is canning him? Ok Also, Luc is the one trying to convince Dubious on LA.

He does things that are frustrating. Just don't see how he's remotely on the hot seat.

Vilardi: what do we hope he turns into? A defensively responsible right shot, RW that might eventually put up 30+ goals & 70+ points? So a Tyler Toffoli.
How much does that cost on the cap?
Will he ever play C at a Danault level?
King's have lots of wing prospects.
Road nearing its end for Vilardi.
