GDT: NHL Entry draft thread : Kings traded down w/ Mtl #21 for #26, 57 and 198

[RayMartyniukTotems]

mayor kept hinting that if the kings traded back that Emery would possibly be our pick...

And the Kings would trade Spence and Clarke so Emery and Burroughs could patrol the RD side with Doughty

I'm in the Brandsegg-Nygard, Hemming, Emery camps for the pick.

Personally see Brandsegg-Nygaard gone by the 15th pick and maybe Emery around that area

Agreed. I like Emery but suspect he is gone long before we pick. Hopefully I am way off… again!!!!

 

[Mats26]

Good move. So far the Rob has not f***ed anything up this offseason. We’ll see what the rest of the day holds for us.

This move was all about Yannetti to get more picks to work with. Don't think Blake knows a single prospect in the draft.

Yeah I don't think he will be anywhere close but he's my "realistic hope fall guy". I think Hemming and Emery should be close to 26.

Quite frankly American people this is the worst trade in the history of ever. Roberto Blake what is this guy thinking? He's not fit to be the GM of the LA Kings and everyone knows Im honest, everyone says "Wow Sol, you're the most honest person I know" which is why I think I would do a better job as GM of the LA Kings of America. Believe me Kings fan.

Heard Hemming mentioned a few times on here... this mock site has him going LAK as well (hopefully not Kupari 2.0)

Like to see the Kings trade the 26th for the 40th and say 75th...the Kings will still get a decent at 40 if not I'll be happy with the 26th pick! Hoping for a forward(RightWinger) if not Emery would be pretty good too

 

[Lt Dan]

I would like to remind everyone that @All The Kings Men predicted this with more accuracy that Dallas Raines

Lt - do you happen to prefer a dark theme? Less radiation better for double leg amputee

I think I heard somewhere that if they moved back it wouldn't be out of the first round. So unless they are blown away by a trade offer, I can't see them moving back anymore. Most likely they trade Kaliyev for a pick (3rd) or use him to move up in the 2nd round.

 

[FSL KINGS]

Man, if we watch this whole thing & Blake trades out of the first round.

 

[kingsboy11]

I think if Emery is still there I think they're going to take him

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

Word is Luc wanted to trade out of the NHL draft into last nights NBA draft for Bronny James. He wanted to get someone he could market to Laker Fans since kings fans have been mean to him and “Blakey.”

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I don't hate it A couple more lottery tickets is never a bad thing... Let's see what they do with it...

Yep, let's be real, they're gonna f*** up the first round anyway like always so giving more bullets to the guys actually earning their paychecks is a smart move

5 bucks on letourneau

Definitely needed to be done but that definitely kisses the possibility of Solberg goodbye. Will be interesting to see who’s available at that pick.

I'm getting the feeling someone is taking solberg in the teens is one of the reasons they moved

 

[LAKings88]

I wish they wouldn’t do interviews. Cringe.

 

[kingsboy11]

Umm okay that's reach for the Ducks

 

[LAKings88]

There goes everyone’s draft lists.

 

[AbsentMojo]

Is DL consulting Verbeek?

 

[Reaper45]

The Russians are going to fall. To much uncertainty.

Celine Dion? Jesus Christ this is corny.

 

[LAKings88]

Those Demidov clips, holy sheet.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Kings better get Carrot Top to announce their pick.

 

[Ollie Weeks]

Just occurred to me that our current 1st rounder was Winnipeg’s originally. Curious if they’d be looking to re-aquire it….

 

[Bandit]

Hard to give a shit about any of this. Remember when everyone was pissed we didn’t take Kaliyev… then we got him anyway with our next pick and then both guys proceeded to play 5 minutes a night on the bottom line/pair before being shipped off to play on the Pakistan national team?

Blake’s still “in charge”. None of this matters.

 

[theMajor]

smart move, wow

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

There goes everyone’s draft lists.

you spend all summer carefully crafting your drafting list, meticulously creating backup plan after backup plan

then someone takes a kicker in the first round and all hell breaks loose
