Honestly if kings are trading both I’d hope for at least a3rd and maybe another lower pick

A short-term filler in our middle 6 makes sense, but I'm not sure Toffoli is that guy. Don't see why he'd sign a 1-yr deal at his age and after scoring 30+ in back-to-back seasons. He can easily get that AAV on a medium-term deal. Stolarz numbers look decent but remember he's never actually played a 1A role before. Often times you see these guys who have excelled at ~30 games start struggling when they're suddenly playing closer to 50, while facing the tougher teams too.

I still maintain our left side defense is too weak to contend, something needs to be done. Cannot have Englund play another 82+ games if this team is serious.

I doubt Kakko signs for less than his QO $2.4m

I didn't even check that. He probably wouldn't.

I don't disagree with you regards to Tofolli and Stolarz. I know Toffoli enjoys LA and so does his wife. Maybe he wouldn't mind a 1 year.

However for the Defensive issue we are having, I don't think Englund is the issue. He's a 7th defenseman so we can't expect him to be Bobby Orr. Plus without Englund who's our tough guy? Our team is way too soft. Our Top 4 defense now is probably Anderson, Gavrikov, Doughty and Clarke/Spence. None of these guys are scary. McDavid can openly skate around these guys.

We can also make it a 3 x 5.25M for toffoli.
