I really like a Brown/Quick pickup for a lot of teams. Salary’s just make it a rollercoaster to work a trade out. I thought the Pens would look for that duo last year but Carter was the right idea.

I think it’s a good trade idea and the value is close. Kassian is the only true negative value piece here since Koskinen is expiring. I think you have the right ballpark value.

Quick is the only reason the Kings are a bubble playoff team and Brown has played all 18 seasons with the Kings. It is incredibly unlikely either of these players play anywhere else in their career

Kassian makes the money work but he also does have speed, size, and some skill. He is somewhat inconsistent but if you are looking for speed and size he is not the worst option.

I really like the targets but I’m one of VERY few that don’t want to see kass moved. It’s a soft team yes we need more from him but subtracting him altogether I think makes the deeper issues worse.
