Value of: Trade value of Alex Iafallo

[Guffman]

You can add him in as part of the Dubois Hellebuyck trade.

You forgot that Hellebuyck trade will not be with Kings.

 

[Guffman]

Right, I am mixing up Dubois and Hellebuyck.

 

[Reaper45]

I don't see Roy going anywhere.
He is the only one with grit and size combined.

We are desperately looking for guys like him.

Will the Kings be able to re sign him? He might price himself out of the organization.

This remains to be seen.
For now i have plenty of guys who should leave the Kings before him

Bwa ha ha.
You ain't getting close to Byfield or Vilardi for the guy that has declared himself a free agent on every team he has played for.
There is a major exodus from Canadian teams and Canada in general.
Its gotten so politically ugly and scary, less guys want to be up there, especially if the war spreads and intensifies.
May God have mercy on your souls...

Let Buffalo add the 45th and we have a deal

Buffalo 39,45 for 54, Iafallo

I guess since the last thread you forgot that Byfield and Vilardi are not on the table?

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

Winnipeg seems to need guys with geek since nobody wants to sign there ?

 

[Gurglesons]

I’d do the Pens 2024 2nd or NJ’s 3rd for him.

 

[Guffman]

You ain't getting close to Byfield or Vilardi for the guy that has declared himself a free agent on every team he has played for.

So, the big difference here is that Dubois would choose to play for your team derp derp.

I guess since the last thread you forgot that Byfield and Vilardi are not on the table?

According to who?

 

[StewieP19]

Iaffalo have not a bad contract and in playoff you see him not like a couple other players of his team

 

[YP44]

Would rather move Arvidsson and/or Moore

 

[Kurrilino]

According to who?

Not this again.....

According to Mr. Blake who was directly asked on a presser which youngsters could be traded because of the cap crunch.

Also the fact that those guys have not been involved for a fine player like Fiala should
lower your hopes what you could get for Dubois from the Kings.

Every time there is a Winnipeg offer you come with the same trade proposals and always get the same answer from the Kings peeps.
Isn't that like a sign to you?

I am as clear now is a i can, the Jets have absolutely nobody who will fetch Vilardi or Byfield.
Not because they have bad players, they DO NOT have what we need.

Dubois is a Danauld clone and we already don't know what to do with Danauld.
In return you ask for our top prospects and hope that by some miracle after 45th time someone will say yes.

So its not just Habs fans who don't want to give up prized young players for PLD. Interesting!

I haven't followed the LA - Winnipeg much lately.

Did Blake say that as part of the post-season press conference? Trading for Dubois would not be considered part of a "cap crunch" maneuver, so that comment shouldn't apply to the situation.

You say that you wouldn't know what to do with Dubois. I guess that's your mental issue. Apparently Blake DOES know what to do with Dubois since LA is allegedly very interested in acquiring him.

I guess there appears to be a disconnect between what your GM is thinking and what you are thinking.

Everyone is cheap and "wants him for free" (tm).

Less than a week and we will finally know (I hope)!

I suspect it will be a 1 year contract to a contender (like Avs or similar) with some retention from Wpg to sweeten the deal. The timing is not right for the Habs to take on PLD. With the Monahan signing its clear that PLD is not in the cards next season. I see Monahan signed as a winger and mentor for Dach on the 2nd line. I think that signing signaled that Hughes is not interested in trading for PLD.

With Montreal out (and likely an obvious sign to other GMs), the question is how this impacts other team's offers. I think Kings fans have come to the conclusion that the juice is not worth the squeeze with PLD.

I can definitely see Iafallo as a trade chip for PLD though. For salary reasons. But i can't see them coughing up Valardi or Byfield.

It definitely could be a rental play to the Avs (think I heard that these past few days) and if so, do you know what that means?

PLD to Habs FOR FREE next year!

Honestly, i don't think that's a foregone conclusion. If Dach takes the next step, there wouldn't be room for a 8M+ PLD in Montreal. If Dach does not take the next step, then there is room.

A lot will ride on Dach's development this coming season. He's the key focal point IMO. That and who they draft at 5OA. If its Smith, that changes things.

First of all, this is a make believe GM forum and i can't believe i have to type this out.
I am in no way connected or employed by the Kings organization.

What i say in here is purely based on my opinion as a Kings fan and the official releases by the Kings head board.

If you want an accurate picture of the Kings future plans, you better call or write Mr. Blake.
If you want the opinion of the fellow hockey fans, who post with you in this make believe forum,
you have to live with their opinions based on the mentioned information above.

It is very childish behavior to ask for trades and if there is no desired outcome, to point out the other peeps are no real NHL GM and also attesting mental issues.


Regardless, you have been told now multiple times by several people that Dubois is not of interest for the Kings at all, regardless the return.
The reason for that has also been told to you several times.
If you want to enjoy your time in here, you better adjust to the idea that Vilardi and Byfield are not available and Dubois is not desired.


Beside all that, the OP topic is the value of Iafallo.
I will kindly ask you now to stick to the topic please.

 

[Kurrilino]

Is there a way to somehow match the Buffalo offer from above of 2 2nds for 2nd+Iafallo?

We don’t have 2.

Even if Dach continues to develop, you still have top 6 positions available (maybe Dach stays as a winger to Suzuki and Caufield; Dubois to center Anderson and Slafkovsky or some combination like that).

The Habs also have to make room for Farell, Roy and Mesar / Kidney / Beck as well as the 5OA (Smith/Michkov) in the coming years.

Dubois is a nice to have but not a need to have. Hughes has no urgency to trade for PLD. He will stay the course in the rebuild plan.

PLD will have a tough decision to make. Sign a short term deal with a contender or give up on his dream of being a Hab and sign longterm with someone else.

I can see short-term with LA with Iafallo being a key piece in return. A short term deal will not be favorable to Wpg.

You're the one who went on a detailed detour about it.

Point being, you said those players were "off the table" and started to point to the post-season press conference of your GM saying he's not letting go of young players to deal with a "cap crunch" (well, no sh*t). That had nothing to do with possibly trading for Dubois and having to give up a good young player to execute that trade.

You also say it doesn't make sense to trade for Dubois (fine, that's your opinion) but you do have to realize that LA IS expressing interest, and in THAT context, we are left guessing what the actual trade compensation would be.

The smart fan guesses close to what the actual deal would be. The not-so-smart fan will come up with their own valuations and logic and more often than not, completely whiffs on the actual trade compensation.

Anyways, on to Iafallo.
