Pre-Game Talk: Trade Deadline Shenanigans II

[Scottkmlps]

Hartnell needs to happen. The tradition must continue and Lumbus needs to make the trade.

As long as Columbus pays 50% for the remainder of his contract, sure, than it can happen.

“@Real_ESPNLeBrun: Kings have interest in Kris Versteeg… still looking for that rental winger”

He obviously stole that from LeBrun.

[kingskring]

He was pulled from the game!

 

[Davit17]

Versteeg can be a good cheap addition

 

[mrkolice]

versteeg any good?

 

[Davit17]

versteeg any good?

Solid 3rd liner

 

[onlyalad]

I think teams are using the Kings as leverage.
Team out of playoffs
"So you want our has been player for a 3rd round pick. I got Dean on the other line and he is willing to give a 2nd rounder"
Team on the bubble
" ok we will give you two 2nd but you have to retain some cap space to make me look good"


Dean,
"Zzzzzzz"

Just give us someone who can put the biscuit in the basket.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Well, Versteeg knows the Hawks at least, heh. I like him more than any of the other softies not named Purcell.

 

[mrkolice]

ah yea, versteeg is that guy who won it with the hawks and then he went to florida and then he went back to chicago and won another cup. i remember this story but damn i can't remember how he looked on ice.

Agree with you there. Seems like a better option then Pirri...

Good handles, vision, decent speed/agility...I actually think he would bring some real creativity to the third line but I don't think I've ever seen him in a corner.

 

[kovacro]

If that's the way the Kings are looking, re: Versteeg, might as well ask about Liles.

I like Slavin but he's not moving. Really nice young d-man with a bright future.

 

[Ollie Weeks]

Well, Versteeg knows the Hawks at least, heh. I like him more than any of the other softies not named Purcell.

Essentially, yeah.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

The most important note about Versteeg, he's a former Flyers.

 

[Minor Boarding]

The most important note about Versteeg, he's a former Flyers.

That's a good indicator...
Any relation to Edmonton/Lumbus?
An injury would also help his value to the Kings.

 

[mrkolice]

and i'm off, 11 pm here, job to do early in the morning. gl guys, fingers crossed. gkg!

 

[Albi]

Versteeg is for sure a much better option than Parentau and Purcell.
He has playoff experience and he's a nice addition to our top...ehm...bottom6

Nolan to IR

Too much Chicago-ness in him for my liking. We need to have some boundaries.

I'll take a former Flyer or Blue Jacket, though.

 

[Peter James Bond II]

versteeg any good?

NO!!!!!

2 goals in last 27 playoff games.

1 last year in 12 playoff games and 1 the year before in 15 playoff games.

 

[King'sPawn]

Versteeg would be a nice addition. Offensive upgrade from Lewis on 3rd line RW. And if Gaborik comes back, we'd probably see something like:

Lucic - Kopitar - Gaborik
King - Carter - Toffoli
Pearson - Lecavalier - Brown
Clifford - Lewis - Versteeg
