With Age Comes Wisdom

I bet you're right -- Askarov gets picked with the 13th overall. And I'll also bet it won't belong to you.

Roy is one of only 3 defensemen we have on the right side who's NHL-capable, and we have no one to promote from within, so trading him would just mean we'd have to go out and sign a free-agent RD. On the other side, we have Michael Anderson, Tobias Bjornfot and Kale Clague trying to break in to the League, so Dermott isn't the sort of guy we want to acquire.

Canes pass. We don’t have that much cap.

Canes decline. Both players are probably worth a 2nd each imo, maybe add another pick on Anderson. Don’t think Johnsson is a guy that really interests the canes. I think the canes would make a move for Anderson but not at the cost of a 1st

Thanks for chiming in. I thought with Doughty and Walker on the right side, the Kings are weaker on the left. That's why I thought of this swap. But I know you're more informed about the team's need.

How about Andersen and Mikheyev instead? Mikheyev would fit with the team's system I think, and has high potential.

I just want my pick back!
