Pure Luck Dubious

Interesting deal.

Setting aside Tolvanen's slow beginning of the season in NSH, he scored at roughly the same pace as Arvidsson, less assists mind you. Tolvanen is an RFA after this year.

LAK saves some cap, SEA gets the "better" player, seems like a win win.

Not bad, but I think the Kings are going to keep Arvidsson and roll with a 19 man roster.

That’s definitely an offer I’d keep in my back pocket if I was the GM. Think they’d prefer Arvidsson, but if they needed to clear cap for something else I think this is a solid deal.

Only makes sense for Seattle if they feel Tolvanen's contract is going to be equivalent to Arvidsson's. Otherwise they can control term/cost on a younger player.
