Yes a young team trading away their young nhl players for picks that aren't guaranteed yeah thats a no from Philly

Think we all know the Flyers won't do that.

The Ducks one is intriguing to me though. I think I'd have to say yes. If someone was out there waiving a 1st around for a 50% retained Klinger, I'd obviously take that first, but this wouldn't be a bad consolation prize, given that we'd likely flip Walker in a year.

The Kings have absolutely no interest in John Klingberg. They already have more RHD than they know what to do with. They're definitely not giving up a 1st round pick to shore up at a position where they already have an embarrassment of riches.

As you say, the Philly trade is fantasy, so I won't comment any further.

I’m very much against the Petersen trades. His value will never be lower than it is now. If they trade him when they’re not cap strapped, that’s bad asset management. Goalies are also very difficult to speculate about too far in the future. If Hart struggles right after a trade, we’re right back where we started.

I might be good with the Klingberg trade if he was left handed.
