Yea Nashville isn’t trading their 23 year old already top 4 defenseman. The reason we were so comfortable to trade Ellis is because we seen fabbro developing nicely and had faith he could take over for him. Which he has done. The fact you also want a 2nd and a 3rd is laughable.

my mind thinks oddly. look at my detroit and new vancouver and lemme know what ya think

Lololol Perron is far far from a cap dump. Blues easily decline

Quite a few bad takes in my opinion, Kings started their rebuild 3 years ago. They are 3 points outside of first in the division with most of their prospects yet to graduate.

Why would they trade Arvidsson who is already beating last years numbers for a rental in Smith (who’s movement actually helps a division rival), couldn’t they obtain Riley in the free agency next season (as the Knights won’t be able to afford him?)

Kings have established Iafallo as a top-6 who has great chemistry with both Kopitar and Danault. Kings may be in need of a defenseman. But the Kings are not desperate at RDs like Fabbro, the Kings have Doughty, Roy, Walker, Durzi, Clarke and Faber on the right. They are more in need for a top LD. So not a good fit.

Matt Roy is the Kings best stay at home, he’s become a staple for the team even before Walker and Edler went down.

Dustin Brown has spent every single game over his 18 years with the Kings, moving him to a bottom place team is insulting to someone who captained the Kings to 2 cups.

Perron is on a 22 goal pace over an 82 game season, and has a 5-team NTC, he won’t come to LA, Blues are hot right now.

So pretty… pretty bad.

what is that blues deal lmao cap dump? are you crazy lmao he was a ppg last year and why would we need to cap dump him anyway with one year left on his deal

Our rebuild is almost complete. The only piece we're missing right now is a young, first-class LD. Lias Andersson is the only one of those players I can see us trading, and he won't get us David Perron even if Perron wanted to come here.

Since when has Perron ever been a cap dump? Guy has 21 points in 30 games. He's far from a Cap Dump. He's in a slump at the very moment, but never a cap dump. I think the biggest thing here is that he's defensively solid as a forward as well.

Setting aside the "quality" of your Blues trade offer, erm what are they dumping cap for exactly?

I just took a second look at this (my first look ended quickly when I saw who was being traded, as you can tell from my first comment), and the net effect of this scheme hit me: Fabbro for Roy, and Iafallo for Motte and Petan.

How the #$%& does that help us progress?!?!?

I'd make the Blues trade, of course, because we're stealing St Louis blind, but the rest of these proposed deals are awful.
