Friedman: LA Kings is looking at Vancouver for some scoring addition

[kanucks25]

It's Friedman's thoughts that the Kings should look to Vancouver and IF something is supposed to happen, it would roughly be around the Arvidson return. So 2nd/3rd rounder territory, which i exactly where the Canucks forwards are fitting./QUOTE]

Arvidsson was seen as a declining asset with term. I imagine other teams were afraid to up the ante given his slowing production and reckless style. Kings made a good bet it seems with him having a nice year, more in line with his prime years before he slowed down for his last couple in Nash.

I believe consensus at the time was that Kings paid a fair if not cheap price. The Canucks forwards, unless you're talking about like Pearson, are not in the "2nd/3rd rounder territory".

Alright, let's close this thread.

Kings are not in a place to invest major assets for minimal improvement.
We fight for our lives to barely make the playoff, not contending for the cup

 

[BillyZito]

Just out of interest, why exactly would we trade for Vatrano in general, regardless the return?

Vatrano scores at a 20 goal mark for most part, all even strength and cheap caphit and money owed..
He's likely better than AA on 3rd line LW

I'm not suggesting that the Kings should go all in or pay something that'll hurt for one of the Canucks forwards.

But to suggest guys like Miller, Boeser and Garland ought to be priced @ 2nd/3rd rounder is ridiculous.

It's best not to engage, I think. Some people forget that we're all just hockey nerds who like to pretend we're GMs. Is it likely that LA lands Garland, Boeser, or Miller? No, probably not. Do I have fun pretending and gauging value? Yep.

You quoted me but I didn't write that

Time to lock this up.

HF is on drugs I guess... dunno what happened.

Fixed.

Correct — AA is there just to make the cap work this season. Brown's contract falls of next season, so there aren't any issues moving forward.

So what's the difference? Is Grans valued for Vancouver? Does Faber + Madden move the dial? What about Grans and a 1st instead? JAD? Vilardi? So many options from LA.

I'd push for:
Garland
For
Grans or Faber + Vilardi + anything you need to send to make the money work this season.

Garland is on a real nice deal, and will be in our division, so it would be a heavy cost for sure.

Kings and Canucks are not good trade partners,Kings are not desperate.

Have you seen the "3rd" line? I'm desperate to never see that again.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

1st+ one of your top 2 prospect + a decent roster player

I don't think that offer is a desperate one. Kings get a proven 25 YO play diver on a great deal, and keep their 3 or 4 best prospects.

I think they make great partners, same division aside.

 

[Buresflyingelbow]

Skipping ahead without reading has anyone suggested both Miller and Boeser to LA?
Both have had chemistry together and for a majority of his time in Vancouver Miller has played with Brock. If the Canucks could get better piece’s like Clarke +1st + Turcotte?
Honestly, both teams are looking for what one another have and I could see Rutherford salivating at the thought of that much cap to restructure the team the way he wants.
LA gets to keep Byfield as they should instead of Clarke and instantly becomes a playoff contender with all the other Prospects ready to step in. Obviously pieces could be added as I’d add Hoglander in the deal to replace Turcotte with Byfield and drop the first round pick.

Saw it and rather see what Kings propects can do before trading away assets at that price this season.

That isn't desperate, and yes, they are good trading partners.

Garland for Vilardi and Spence makes a lot of sense for both teams. The Canucks can get their major haul for Miller elsewhere.

Huge pass right now.Blake should play the kids this season.

Why is Boeser on the market ? I always thought he was a good player

Kings don't need to make this move now or this season. Let another team who are true contenders.Kings pass

It can be fixed with what we have. Our coaching just hasn’t made the moves needed. Sit Brown or at least rotate him in and out of the lineup and let’s see what some of our youth can do in LA instead of Ontario.

I would much rather have LA put Vilardi with QB and see what happens.

 

[Bettman Returnz]

Feels like most teams that have been linked to miller (or Canucks in general) have a fan base that is very resistant on moving prospects or picks.

Guess time will tell what GM’s do and if they are on the same page as fans.

 

[McJedi]

I would be really bummed if Faber gets traded. There are really only three guys I absolutely don't want to move: Byfield, Clarke, and Faber.

What's the cost on Boeser or Miller? Kupari, Grans, a 1st?

Seems like a reasonable offer for either player.

 

[Kurrilino]

1st+ one of your top 2 prospect + a decent roster player

lol, absolutely not, this is insanity.
This powerful scorer didn't reach 30 goals a single time his whole career and he is 28 turning 29.

I don't want him at all
