Proposal: Min-LA

[57special]

Ah, yes, it's all the Wild fan's fault...

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

That's what's been so dumb about this thread. It got ridiculously derailed because a bunch of Wild fans took offense to what is probably an exaggerated opinion on Wallstedt. And those fans instantly resorted to a pissing contest. IMO it was pretty obvious the user was trying to say trading Gus for anything but a can't refuse offer is just foolish because Wallstedt, while being a high potential prospect, very likely needs more development time. Especially since Flower is going to be turning 40 soon and probably can't handle a full time starting gig.

I feel like we just mainly gave context to Wallstedt not having a .925+ save % in the AHL and the possible reason(s) for it.

I really couldn't car less about your justification, the point is he's likely not NHL ready and with Flower's age he's certainly not NHL starter ready

have any kings fans posted in this thread yet?

I would obviously do that deal which tells me LA needs to add. Tink Kaliyev's value is so low right now he would be a throw in and not the main piece.

 

[keppel146]

Kaliyev+2024 1st for Gustavsson+ 2024 2nd+2024 4th.

 

[YP44]

Kaliyev+2024 1st for Gustavsson+ 2024 2nd+2024 4th.

I would do this

 

[Kurrilino]

I would do this

And for what reason?
We are out of competition for the next 2 years, this is exactly when quality players like Gavrikov will leave for free, leaving behind an empty shell.
If we need anything, it's draft picks and you are willing to give away a 1st rounder plus a disgustingly misused sniper, for a goalie who has worse stats that our journeyman goalies.

I highly opposed that trade and say we stick with Copley.

I agree with you.

 

[57special]

There we have it, both sides say no! Close thread, please.

 

[KingsOfCali25]

Kaliyev+2024 1st for Gustavsson+ 2024 2nd+2024 4th.

The list of goalies that id trade a 1st for is super small and Gustavsson isn't one of them. Also, not willing to move out of the first round after not have a pick for 2 years

Moving down what 15 spots in a weak draft to get a goalie plus a fourth. Seems low risk to me.

Neat. Go worry about other stuff. Stuff that isn't this. Like...elsewhere.

 

[Digitalbooya]

It's kinda crazy the number of Calgary posters or posters located in Calgary are posting in this thread.

How is that crazy? We can be Kings fans regardless where we are from or where we moved to.

You are from Wisconsin and many believe this isn't even a real place.
If you ask people on the streets which of these locations is more likely, Wisconsin or Atlantis, 95% will say Atlantis.
And here you are, posting in a hockey forum.

It's more about the way of business to trade away young promising players and keep 39 year olds
while giving away 1st rounders

No, no, no. Whatever you've said there, just take it somewhere else. Go on now.

My guy, it was more of an observation that made me giggle. It was not a shot at you or anyone else. Calm down.

Collective ignorance isn't a sign of the subject matter being correct in the least. There appear to be a decent amount of flat Earthers. That's another collection of ridiculous human beings that believe stupid things. Neither group should in any way be taken seriously. They should also not be used as a comparison to rationality.

Do better.

One of the dumbest things posted here in recent memory. No small feat.

I think a better deal would be something around Beckman and/or one of the LHD in Iowa. Kings could use some LHD depth. I wouldn’t mind taking a flyer on Kaliyev.

I somehow feel you missed the humor in all that?

If by 'missed' you meant ignored and intentionally sidestepped, then yes. I was able to avoid stepping in the pile.

I don’t get Minny’s obsession with trading Gustavsson. He’s young. Has shown he can be a really good NHL goalie. Wallstedt has been pedestrian in the AHL so far.

Could be a Quick/Bernier situation

I have seen him play. He’s a good prospect. But I don’t think he’s a sure thing elite starter like Minnesota fans seem to suggest. He’s 4 years younger than Gus who has already had way more success. I think handing him an NHL job when he hasn’t even dominated in the AHL is poor thinking.

lol remember when these comments triggered some Minny fans. Good times.
