Unlocking the Third Line

Draft picks conditional on re-signing are no longer allowed under the new MoU.

I don't think the Kings will trade Iafallo. I suspect they will sign him to a 2-3 year extension in the coming months.

Ah, bugger. Probably just add an unconditional 4th or a 5th instead.

And yeah, I agree Iafallo is less likely to be a rental trade than Toffoli. Depends how LAK sees their rebuild going.

I personally don't see anything "similar value to the Toffoli trade" in this proposal. Tyler Madden was one of Vancouver's top 3-5 prospects when they traded him. Seth Griffith is 28, and Konovalov is a 5'11" goalie that doesn't project to be more than a backup.

You're going to have to pay a lot more than that for a player you're putting straight onto your top line.

Iaffalo would be a first round pick ++.

I think Edmonton will keep their options open on defence this offseason. If they can't resign Barrie to a reasonable contract then Larsson is their man.

I also think kahun would be able to play 3c quite well if they got another top LW. Then you put RNH at 2LW.

That NJ trade reminds me of another trade...
