That probably wasn't the price for the kings....

I am 99% sure this is because ARZ was asking for the moon and after every possible suitor told them to F*** off they were left with one team, and could either take what was offered of keep him past the deadline...

He wayyyyy overplayed his hand (ARZ) and it bit him in the rear..

ARZ thought they could call the shots and... found out they could not

People don’t seem to realize that Ott pick has a very good chance of top 10. Plus 2 2nds? Which one of which should be higher than the Kings. It’s basically his ask.

Yeah, I think that's part of the reason AZ pulled the trigger on this with Ottawa. That and they didn't have to take salary back which was probably an issue for ownership.

Still seems kind of weak though.

Taking salary back was definitely an issue according to a few of the talking heads. They were dead set against it. If it wasn’t, he could very well have been a King by now.

At this point, they might as well fire some more bullets and make some more deals now that there is a definite clock on these rentals our 1st + 3rd bought. Might as well chase the sunken cost and make a few more deals, I am not sure anything can sting as much as the first one at this point.

Get a rental 3c

Im fine with a left handed Matt Roy for now. It makes Roy expendable over the summer to start opening slots for all the RD in the pipe. Thats if they can extend Gavrikov.

I don't think they will move Roy until next season deadline. They may even resign him. He is very solid.

He's a big body thats for sure. If he's at least as good as Roy on D then good. The gaping hole aside from G was that there was only one reliable defensive pairing.. Now there are 2.

Can't wait until Gavrikov and Korpisalo make their debuts
Telos said:
I doubt it because he has 2 years remaining on his deal. Arizona does have time to sit on their hands and the price wouldn't be much different next season versus this one.

If Arizona makes a couple more deals they can compete for the Calder Cup and forget the rest of the NHL season cause they will be utter garbage

Arizona wasn't taking money back, they have a 5k seat arena and are hemorrhaging cash. The return tells you exactly that. I'm sure OTT was the only team with an offer on the table that sent nothing back. Our first this year was what they coveted, but it's not worth nearly as much as OTTs. It would have taken something stupid to get them to take salary.

Still, they messed up the return big time. You can bet the Kings offer, and probably Edmontons, were better than this. What a disaster of a franchise for their fans. I feel for them.

Looks like they are going all out for Bedard.

If they win the lottery if I'm Bedard I'd pull the chute and tell Arizona to take a flying fukcing leap off a short porch!Bedard has stated countless times he wants to play for the Canucks...the Top Junior/College/European Player in the World should be afforded to play for his hometown team

If you don't trade Byfield or Clark I am not sure what the Kings have that equals a potential top 10 pick in a deep draft. If Ottawa makes the playoffs it F's everything up for Arizona. Other than that it is probably better than anything the Kings would be willing to give up.

The Ottawa offer was the best package of picks. Likely the highest available 23 1st, another 2 2nds. Armstrong just wanted a clean deal with no money coming back where he got the best possible picks out of it. LA had to add prospects and contracts going back it wasnt what the guy wanted.
You are correct that Ottawa is a disaster franchise, maybe new owners will turn it around, I would not be surprised at all.

Lots of Yotes fans are saying management is struggling financially.. which in turn played a big role in why they just wanted picks and not actual players… Guess they’re trying to follow the TB rays blueprint
 
There any decent bottom 6 tough players available for like a 4th or 5th? I wanted Eller but makes sense for the Avs to snag him.
