dudacek Posted June 29, 2021 Report Posted June 29, 2021 Nugent-Hopkins deal is very notable. First long-term UFA contract post-pandemic, other than Pietrangelo, who is on another tier. $5 million AAV is significantly lower than one would expect. Very much a Reinhart comparable. 3

Maybe we can keep Reinhart with $7M? That's where I am absolutely willing to go. 1

So you're looking at a comparable guy who signs long term for 5 and you think Sam deserves 2 more per year? Are you Skinner's agent by any chance? 🙂 I think all of our trades will be after the expansion draft. We are supposedly only looking for prospects and picks, futures, so no team is going to want to lose another roster spot and expose a player before the draft by making the deal. I expect a flurry of activity right after the expansion draft is over. 1

The one deal that MIGHT happen prior to the draft is IF Ristolainen will get traded in a package that brings back a goalie as the key piece of the package. Tbat would let the Sabres keep Borgen and allow the other team to lose their 4th D-man rather than their 2nd goalie. Depending on how the rest of their trade partner's D shapes up, it might make sense to both sides.

Of the teams that will most likely lose a goalie (Vancouver, Montreal, Minnesota, Dallas) I can’t see Risto replacing any of the current number three defenseman on the protection list. Maybe Myers in Vancouver.

I'm actually starting to think of the 3, Risto will still be on our roster, and that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

The rest of the moves though, liked you'd stated, would be really surprised if they happened prior to the expansion draft. 1
WildCard Posted July 1, 2021 Author Report Posted July 1, 2021 Interesting they threw in the 2nd...that to me works one of two ways. That's the Kings saying we're in it to win now, we're comfortable moving picks/prospects Or The Kings saying this is our move, we're comfortable moving these picks because we have Byfield and Turcotte

Buffalonill Posted July 1, 2021 Report Posted July 1, 2021 Kings are going all in for jack eichel Why would you make this move then

LGR4GM Posted July 1, 2021 Report Posted July 1, 2021 Could be bringing in Ardvinsson because they anticipate trading Kempe or Iafallo.
