You're not getting Kempe for Leddy. That's absurd.

OTT declines.

Pay to dump cap

you would, if the kings were looking to Add a D like Leddy as piece for a cup run, but they aren't so you won't

I don't see it as a cap dump, and most GMs in the league wont either if they are rebuilding. he's great locker room guy, good mentor to young foreign players.

if this is the best that Lou can do, then I question his work ethic

Honestly, Leo is one of the more attractive cap dumps. He wouldnt cost much, but OTT has said they want the spots to develop young players. Were buying out out veteran players who would otherwise have been the culture setting and example setting players in the room.

I would put him on par with any of the Russell/Smith dumps, were we would do it for a mere pick upgrade.

Leo + 2021 3rd for 2020 6th

A defensemen who will play in the top 4 for a winger that Kings fans have a 3W with a 2W ceiling...yeah absurd...

Yes, absurd. Kempe is a former 1st round pick that is part of the Kings long-term plans. Leddy wouldn't even be protected in the expansion draft by LA.

The Kings would offer the CBJ 3rd round pick for Leddy, otherwise they'll look elsewhere.
