Final steps of the RETOOL

so LA gets Mete and two 2nds for moving down 4-8? not worth it at all for them, sorry. going to cost you a lot more than that to move up to 4 this year.

Drysdale fills more LA's need than let's say Rossi/Perfetti/Holtz

LA isn't moving the #4 pick for that, Yeah Drysdale to Montreal isn't happening.

Probably would cost only a their second round pick and probably a latwr pick 4th or 5th round. Historically this is what early first round pick trade have cost.
2005:
• 2005 first round pick (#12-Marc Staal) • 2005 second round pick (#49-Chad Denny) • 2005 seventh round pick (#207-Myles Stoesz) to Thrashers for • 2005 first round pick (#8-Devin Setoguchi) on 2005-07-30

2007:
Traded • 2007 first round pick (#13-Lars Eller) • 2007 second round pick (#44-Aaron Palushaj) • 2008 third round pick (#87-Ian Schultz) to Blues for • 2007 first round pick (#9-Logan Couture) on 2007-06-22

2004:
Traded • 2004 first round pick (#8-Alexandre Picard) • 2004 second round pick (#59-Kyle Wharton) to Blue Jackets for • 2004 first round pick (#4-Andrew Ladd) on 2004-06-26

This was the most recent top ten pick swap involved .( note that the last one is exactly the 4th overall for the 8th overall). This deal would probably happen only if Los Angeles doesn’t want a specific players and no they will have one of their guy remaining at 8th overall. But if that Happen the returns would be less then Mete and 2 second round pick.

Kings will take Drysdale not trade away the opportunity, that’s if OTT doesn’t take him.
