Quoting: SmugTkachuk
3 roster players and a goalie prospect plus a first? With the oldest being 26.
Kylington is NHL ready 21 years old and would probably fit into LA's 4 or 5 d man spot right away.
Jankowski is a really strong defensive forward that needs to refine his offensive game, heavy on the puck but needs to improve in the offensive zone. There is a guy off waivers on LA's 3rd line right now, Jankowski would be a really good upgrade
Czarnik is fast and has good hands, undersized but has a lot of raw talent, Calgary doesn't have a roster spot for him right now is the problem.
Goalies are lottery tickets
LA's line up would look a lot different after this trade and my guess is that you don't know enough about what is coming back to LA in this move. Cause it is borderline too much for an often hurt star goalie.
1. Kings don't need anymore goaltending prospects. They have Petersen, Campbell, and Villalta in the system already. Their goaltending pipeline is set.
2. Kings have a logjam at 3-6 defensemen. Unfortunately one of those slots is reserved for Phaneuf, but trading for a replacement doesn't help that problem. Between Brickley, Walker, LaDue, Clague, Fantenberg, and Forbort, the Kings have the depth defense position covered.
3. The Kings had Czarnik's older brother in the system for years. He didn't work out either.
4. Quick's injury history is over-exaggerated. He has played in 60+ games in 3 of the last 4 seasons, and his most recent injuries this season were minor and unrelated to any of his past injuries. He has looked to be on top of his game since he returned a couple weeks ago.
Quick is a future hall of fame goaltender and is highly respected in the room. He is a great mentor to the young goaltenders that the Kings have in the system. He will have a statue outside of Staples Center and his number will hang in the rafters when he retires. The Kings might consider trading him if they can bring back some quality pieces, but they're not going to trade him for a low 1st round pick and a bunch of meh prospects. Additionally, if Calgary wants him, they're going to have to pay a even higher premium to entice the Kings to trade to a division rival. If you want to include Dube or Valimaki, the Kings might be interested. Otherwise, they'll either keep him or trade him to an Eastern Conference team.
