Trading harkins for him makes some sense I guess if it happened......both could benefit from a change

Its not a trade yet, its just talks no trade has happened and lots of moving pieces. Heck big contracts sometimes take weeks or months to work out, how fast do you expect them to go?
Another season cut short by injury negates pace but even if we do pace, 50ish points majority after a hot start for a 3rd overall seems pretty damn disappointing if he's the guy penciled in for 2C, especially when the 1C should be the 2C.
I get it as fans we often have blinders but he also only scored 14 goals and again he slowed down before his season got cut short and the big thing I think should be mentioned is that trade very likely led to the reason they drafted a winger 1st overall when Cooly and Wright were right there.
Or they could have traded the 1st and probably got a much better slightly older potentially better player than Dach or Slaf and still had the 13th if they were still gonna trade Romanov.
I'm sorry but neither of those guys likely ever live up to the expectations hockey mad hab fans expect.
Turcotte is probably too much of a risk medically at this point. JAD or Spence are more likely options.

Its A Kingspiracy !
His agent is Brisson, Luc best buddy is Brisson [ former agent] . The agent is playing both sides against the middle. He's winning either way.
Nothing stopping Boston from doing more roster surgery, especially on their defense. Like, they *NEED* a top 6 center or two.How are Boston going to be in on PLD? they have 11m in cap space and only 14 players signed.
Might be contenders for Scheifele though... seems like LA to Dubois is getting very close now.
lol
Kempe who signed for 5.8 Mull just had a 42 goal season here in L.A.
This will be a tough sell

He signed that contract before the 42 goal season. Also it is a 4 year deal, and 5.5 million.

I hated broccoli and for some reason, my mother made broccoli as a side dish. Being an occasional good boy I promised I would eat my broccoli...but resistance in me was high!
Mom response to my promises...you ain't ate the broccoli until I hear it in your stomach! (More like WMD gas)
There is so much noise and misinformation, no doubt intentional by agents and teams, that I'll wait until the broccoli is eaten....

I am aware of that but he signed the contract after scoring 36 goals.
If PLD scores even remotely in that range he can ask for 6 mill.
For 9 mill he better scores 90+ points
Okay so,
To Jets
Harkins
Dubois
Stanley
To Kings
Vilardi
Iafallo
Jarret-Anderson Dolan
Draft Pick (non-first)
This is what we are thinking?

This reeks of leaking that a sign and trade to LA was close just to get Montreal to get back into the game here.

Once it's broke, shouldn't take this long. Something wrong. My first guess he won't sign in LA

Goals are great. Assists matter too. Kempe had a career high of 54 points in 78 games and is 2 years older than PLD and plays a less important position. Looking like a great contract now too.
Even if PLD only hits 70 points consistently going forward that will be a fair contact with the cap going up, because when he's on he's exactly what Kings fans love. If he hits 90 points it'll be a great contract.
Contracts are going to get f***ing stupid in a few years. GM's have been unable to massively overpay UFA's for a few years now
The trade details leaked by some guys, but that had to be figured out first before negotiations were allowed. Once they agree on a trade, then they start negotiating the contract. That's happening now.
Could still not happen, but usually the details don't leak so specifically, just "rumors they are talking" so it seems to be taking longer than normal.

Something close to that. Could be Chisholm or Heinola instead of Stanley, could be Kupari instead of JAD, but the framework's there.
I'd imagine that there are Kings' young centermen who are hoping to be in that deal.

Have you been watching the reports, LA and Jets today is a travel day and weather delays effecting that. Potential major 8 year deals don't get done in 24 hours ever.......no deadline here shortly, if no 1st is involved Wed isn't even a hard deadline. Jets just gave LA access to talk contract today has been reported. Sounds like the trade pieces have been finalized and now its LA talking a contract just started today with PLD. Patience
Mayyybe, I consider trading Dubois for Laine and Roslovic.
Dubois back to Columbus would be f***ing hilarious, even if he is just a rental there

The trade with LA isn't as close as people think.
See what Lebrun, Basu, Seravalli & Dreger are all saying...
It's possible they can come to an agreement, but as of now they haven't even talked contract.
Also, how often is that full trades leak?
If the trade was done, the insiders would have said 'Here is the deal, it's done pending a contract put in place'.
