Proposal: Van LA Blockbuster

[Ledge And Dairy]

So LA just decided to throw $88 million over 8 years at a mediocre defenseman? And as for Vlasic, he couldn't carry Drew's jockstrap. Is this what they teach you at Hogwarts? Jog on.

Are you ESL? I never said he was a bad defenseman, I said he wasn't elite as a defensive defenseman, as in shutting down the opposition. Vlasic who you felt like scoffing at actually was, and arguably the best in the entire NHL.

He is.

 

[Statto]

Doughty being better defensively than Karlsson doesn't make him elite defensively, it just makes him more well rounded. There is a massive difference between being decent defensively and being elite. An example of an elite defensive defenseman would be someone like Hjalmarsson or Vlasic, or in recent times McAvoy. But Doughty is definitely not that.

As he was the arguably the best shutdown guy in the NHL for a few years I can only assume you never watched him or don’t like him. During the Kings run he was deployed in all our shutdown situations and ate all the tough D minutes and matchups. I’ll step out of the discussion as it’ll certainly just go in circles now. During the

What do you mean with "start"
The whole Canucks organization isn't worth a Byfield or Clarke

Overrate prospect so much that it becomes laughable. In that case Podkolzin is worth more than Kings organization. Be realistic because Byfield and Clarke havent proven crap in NHL and are not as valuable as McDavid was when he got drafted.

Hughes and Horvat to LA
Doughty to Vancouver

Gets Vancouver a long term upgrade on Hughes.
LA gets younger and sheds salary.

Neutral fan here.

This thread should probably be locked. That is a terrible trade for Vancouver. Sure nice for the Kings though.

 

[treple13]

As an Oiler fan, I say yes FAIR DEAL!

Why? As a Flames fan I'm far more scared of the Kings than the Canucks past this season, and this deal just makes the Kings far, far scarier

I think the Canucks are a little further ahead at this point. We'll see.

As a kings fan I take this everyday of the week. Cannot imagine one Canuck fan would say yes.

Canucks are further ahead this year..kings I think could be better long term. This deal would make LA better short and long term.

Agree. A lot to unfold for the Kings.

Agree. I really like Horvat's game and leadership qualities. Hughes could be sheltered defensively if necessary.

 

[PatrikBerglund]

SOrry he's an avalanche fan. Neither team would do this.

LA would RRRRRRUUUUUNN with this trade, if it was offered.

Total rebuild in 10 seconds.

Vancouver should start thinking """"Long Term"""" and trade Pettersson for Kopitar

am I doing this right?

 

[missionAvs]

Good god, I don't usually post in trade proposals but this one is special.

No. Pettersson and a 1st.

 

[Bob and 200 others]

No thanks from an LA perspective

Our C depth is looking good.

Hughes can't even play D

Liar! You'd be stupid not to do this.

how is this idiotic thread still open?

Hughes and Horvat to LA
Doughty to Vancouver

Gets Vancouver a long term upgrade on Hughes.
LA gets younger and sheds salary.

LA isn't trying to shed salary and Horvat is not an asset that we need. LA will get a lot of cap space back as Brown and Quick's contracts expire along with Maata and Edler (one year deal only), for a whopping total of like $18 mil. If anything we're going to be selling cap space or signing UFAs next season. We're good on cap.

LA has a kajillion nice young forwards coming in and we just acquired Arvidsson and Danault for the forward corps. We don't really need a Horvat.

Also, Doughty will anchor our defense corps for at least another five years when our youngsters start to come into the NHL. He's not available.

We definitely could use a Luke Hughes but if Van is not getting Doughty, I don't see how Hughes could remotely be available.

Sure LA does not need to Shed salary or another stud center but why look a gift horse in the mouth.

We have a late entry for worst proposal of the year. Vancouver would have to add JT Miller to make it even. ( wink )
