DET isn't giving up a 1st rounder for 2 spare parts to bail out the LAK. I could see a 2nd maybe, but none of those players fit what DET is doing...

Of course they’ll have a tough time with the cap when you sign players to contracts that aren’t remotely close LOL

This is why acquiring PLD makes no sense for the LAK.

UNLESS it's a 3 way trade - that could be sexy!

Kupari and Bjornfot get signed for an aggregate of $2 million -- there's $1.5 million right there -- and Anderson-Dolan gets signed for half a million less -- there's our two missing players.

But this would still be the worst trade for Los Angeles in Kings history -- even worse than Murray Wilson for our first-round pick back in the Seventies.

Pretty easy decline for the wings.
