Come on man, thats a hard no from vancouver.

 

[Ishad]

How do the kings convince both drew doughty and the canucks to say yes to this?

 

[PettersonHughes]

How is Doughty either a long term solution or upgrade over Hughes? Honestly Drew's probably past his peak whereas Quinn's what, 21? Adding Horvat to that is a joke, unless we get a blue chipper C like Byfield/ Turcotte/ Vilardi coming back. Vancouver's not going to go all-in for a 30+ player with lots of mileage and a heavy cap hit.

Oh… that’s bad….

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Oh my. It’s happened. The worst proposal of 2021.

 

[PullHard]

Hughes and Horvat is the type of package that keeps GMs on the phone for a long time, not that those two would necessarily return McDavid, but at least Benning would be trying to get the ball rolling with an earnest offer there if he did call Holland with that idea, you know what I mean? Those two would garner A LOT of interest league-wide if Benning was looking to solve some roster issues. All 30 other teams would offer something better than Doughty at his age & price.

 

[Kingfan1967]

LA would have to retain , but you can only retain 50% and that isn't enough here.

 

[Breakers]

Easy pass for Vancouver

They wouldn't want that mileage or cost of owernship

 

[TeddyBare]

"Gets Vancouver a long term upgrade on Hughes"

that statement makes no damn sense.

 

[Ghetty Green]

No thanks from an LA perspective

Our C depth is looking good.

Hughes can't even play D

 

[peconcan]

Hughes and Horvat are both better than washed up Drew Doughty

Funny neither can doughty lately

 

[FSL KINGS]

Value not bad, but I'd rather keep Doughty.

Edit: How much for Joulevi?

 

[TheHelmet]

The value is not bad like the poster above me said
it's absolutely atrocious for Vancouver

as for OP's bullet points
- LA doesnt shed salary, they gain salary
- Vancouver is worse off long term term as doughty isnt impactful anymore has a ton of games under his belt, well over 1000, and costs about 14% of the cap

 

[notsocommonsense]

Lol, what a joke

 

[Sota Popinski]

No thanks from an LA perspective

You've definitely been chiefin fat blunts of that danky, danky if you think LA doesn't say yes to this deal the instant it's proposed

Lmfao that's even worse than the original proposal.

Sure if we get a 20 year old doughty.

 

[Tempo]

I hate to say the same thing twice, but how did you get past the “choose all the box with traffic lights” when you signed up?

Horvat only has 2 years left until UFA, so I disagree it would be an earnest offer for McDavid...

Offering Hughes + Pettersson would be an honest attempt

 

[Breakers]

vancouver is definitely thinking long term term when trading a 21 year old defenseman.
