You are correct.I think Turcott has taken a couple of hits to the head in his early career. Massive red flag with injuries.
It is not time for LA to trade him when value is low.

Their thinking right now is that they need to win to convince Petey to extend once his deal is up in 2024 and he'd be a year out from ufa in 2025. Basically, the Matt Tkachuck situation from 2022.Nucks management is disaster and has already done dumb moves
Much rather have HoglanderSomething around Hoglander from the Canucks, I am guessing?

Pretty sure that means you get one or the other, not both.As a kings fan I would be all over that trade for Vlasic and Allan w/o Stalock
No way . She is my spirit animalPretty sure that means you get one or the other, not both.
I’m sure you would, Turcotte is trending towards bust status. Can’t stay healthy and not very productive when he is.As a kings fan I would be all over that trade for Vlasic and Allan w/o Stalock
Logic and Canucks don't go hand-in-hand.I would take it from Kings point of view, but why Canucks do it before Turcotte fully recovered and playing well?
Yeah, obviously the draft pedigree says otherwise - but these are pretty much equivalent prospects.Rathbone for Turcotte?
This is absolutely horrible for the Hawks.To Chicago:
-Alex Turcotte
-Cal Petersen
To LA:
-Alex Vlasic/Nolan Allan
-Alex Stalock
It just Kings have no need for Rathbone and will not trade Turcotte for not needed assets.Yeah, obviously the draft pedigree says otherwise - but these are pretty much equivalent prospects.
I was going to suggest the same thing. Two players who can't stop getting injured with high potential, but in better areas of need for their respective clubs. We need a C prospect to compete with Raty, and Kings are good everywhere but LD. Given what the management has done so far, I don't see this being for Demko.Rathbone for Turcotte?
Yeah I’m guessing he stays then. No team is giving up a 1st for a relatively unproductive player with multiple concussions and injury issues.I mean, other teams can inquire. I am sure they did their due diligence to see if he could be had for a 3rd or something. In the end, unless he is packaged with a 1st and other asset for an upgrade somewhere in our lineup, I doubt the Kings will take any lowball return for him. At this point, there is no downside to waiting him out and seeing if he can stay healthy.
The skill/talent is easily there if you watch him and he has had good streaks in the AHL where he looks fantastic, but it seems like every time he gets rolling he gets bulldozed by someone and now any little thing will send him to the concussion room.
It's sad but he still could be 2nd-line center or a crazy bottom 6'er if he is able to find a way to play his game and stay healthy in the NHL.
Fax the papers pleaseCanucks unprotected 23 1st for Turcotte
You have to be joking. They have at least a chance to get Bedard. Even a healthy Turcotte wouldn't be a top 12 pick in this draft.Canucks unprotected 23 1st for Turcotte
