Speculation: Trade Deadline Options

[VADEN]

thank you baby Jesus, King is gone!

 

[KingsFan7824]

The Kings just lost their 5th leading goal scorer up front.

Nobody can take that Coyotes series away from King. We'll always have that.

 

[lexlavender]

Yes! Yesterday I complained about how useless Dwight King is and today he's traded. Who else should I complain about? Haha

We're all complaing about Kopitar. Maybe he gets traded for McDavid

 

[kingsboy11]

Sad to see him go, but most nights you wouldn't even know he was playing. This was the right move to make. I'm honestly shocked that Dean traded a roster player

 

[deeshamrock]

Sutter must be sobbing uncontrollably.

wonder how much mourning attire he has...

 

[HookKing]

Thank god Dwight King is gone!

He can still be re-signed this summer.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Next is Gaborik.

 

[Peter James Bond II]

ok...this possibly done to open more cap space.
what is current cap space??

 

[BigBrown]

Haven't been able to catch very many games this season, has King been that bad?

To me a 4th is a steal to get a player like King. He's a stud bottom sixer.

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

To be fair, you could put King on any line, as needed. That's useful. It seemed like he never scored, but then you look at his point totals and you realize he has. Best wishes, Kinger. Nolan and Muzzin in particular are going to be sad puppies today.

 

[deeshamrock]

Lose one son, gain another for Sutter??

Rental...please DL don't overpay...

Sounds like Kings zeroing in on Iginla, but have other options and may not be limited to one more move.

 

[BigKing]

Conditional 4th?

Yep, he became useless once he stopped using his big frame. He used to be a very effective 3rd line LW and formed a terrific checking line with Stoll and Lewis.

This season he looks slower than ever before and has softened up quite a bit. He was just a healthy body, nothing more.

4th becomes a 3rd if King resigns with MTL. That'll do, Dean.

Could be a 3rd...

The 4th round pick for Dwight King becomes a 3rd round pick if he signed with the @CanadiensMTL #tvasports

If there was a stroking emoticon, I'd use it here.

 

[Peter James Bond II]

BEST. TWEET. EVER.

@broadsi@DennisTFP can't believe we only got a 4th rounder for a 1st line forward


LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[LAKings88]

Good luck Dwight.

Thanks for being a part of the best era the Kings have ever had.

 

[redcard]

If he's cheap, I don't have an issue grabbing Iginla and putting him on the 4th line. This team has motivation issues and picking up a guy like Iginla who has never won it and is at the end of his career could help give the team something to rally behind.

Or it could be pointless, who knows.

 

[johnjm22]

So Vanek and Dwight King basically have equal value.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Nothing against King, but the redundancy needed to be broken-up

4th line, your talking about Kopi's next winger.

No way they give King away unless its for cap space. Trading Gaborik will require retaining salary for sure.
