I See A Serious Cup Contender

I don't hate it. Arvidsson could be an interesting add for CHI, when he is cleared to play. Albeit, only until the end of the season, but he might be fun to watch playing with Reichel or Bedard.

Hawks say yes, Kings say no.

Yeah that's way too much to give for a rental goalie like Mrazek. They would want to keep Arvidsson and probably only give a 2nd or 3rd + an insignificant roster player (maybe Copley) for Mrazek if they are interested.

I might be missing something but what i see is Hawks retain on a goalie and in return get a goalie having a really tough year only to get worse with Hawks D in front of him, two picks not in 1st round, and a guy who is really good but also listed as “month to month” with a back injury. He can be on LTIR if salary is tight for LA and if not we’re taking $4.25M off their hands.

It seems like this leans in LAK’s favor heavily. What am I missing?

You’re missing the fact that you’d be getting two draft picks for taking on a couple of players who are UFAs in the summer. Why would you not want the free picks?
