Value of: Retooling the Kings

[LeafFever]

Forget retooling LA can't do that. They need a full rebuild.

Eh, I disagree.

Would Florida have any interest in Martinez and Quick? I’d love to trade for Heponiemi and other pieces.

What does Aho project to be? I think we already have similar level prospects in our system. I read a comparison to Lubo, which is obviously great, but I lost interest when the author said that he was better than Doughty at preventing shots, cough, homer, cough.

In-Depth Player Evaluation: Sebastian Aho

Yeah, the article saying he's better than Karlsson and Doughty in that regard is a bit stupid, but he definitely projects to be a top 4 puck moving, power play quarterback type d-man. Lubo is a very good comparison IMO. He lacks size and physicality but he's a very heady player who skates well. He was an AHL all-star last year in his first season in North America and is 2nd on the AHL team in scoring this year. It's hard to judge his play in the NHL last year because of how bad the Isles were structurally, but he didn't look out of place. His floor IMO is a #5 dman who can lead a 2nd unit PP, but he has a lot more potential than that at 22 years old.
