We weren’t a sexy option I agree. We have improved facilities, especially practice facility (like 100 times better). Most importantly we are on the upswing finally. We’ll attract more guys as we continue our climb up the rankings.
We are committed to a stronger defense. This team is heavily involved in analytics. Analytically defenders’ production is much easier to predict and has less fluctuations. Goalies on the other hand have very little predictability and higher cost. We get more value and production out of a strong defense supporting a pair of middle of the road goalies than one great goalie supporting a middle of the road defense.</div></div>

All fair analysis... just don’t know how the cookie will crumble. With Philly, NYI, Wash, and Pittsburgh and NYR and CBJ in the convo... I’m just cautious about losing the asset for nothing from their perspective.

I really don’t think the Carolina trade is that far off either. An organization like Carolina that often doesn’t want to spend up to the limit is probably going to consider something like this. The destination isn’t a sexy one, so getting a valuable top 6 guy (even if he’s a mill or two overpaid) for a guy who could potentially walk isn’t out of the realm of possibilities. Plus they have north of 4 mil locked up to 4 other D Men long term and two young guys in the pipe that are probably ready. Too 6 is the bigger need since the team survived and thrived with Beaker injured.

As far as the Laine deal, I saw the Athletic and reputable sources with that info. Think the hesitancy is probably Philly trying to avoid Patty or Frost.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tkecanuck341</b></div><div>But why would they bring on players like that who are "win now" guys? The Kings don't need the help now. It could actually be detrimental to the rebuild since it could potentially move them out of the league basement and move them out of the top 5 OA in the 2021 draft. I could see the Kings doing it if they got a young prospect or high round draft pick in exchange for taking on the additional cap hit, but in this case they're paying a 4th round pick for players that, at best they don't need, and at worst will actually be detrimental to their future.</div></div>

They make the deal now because they have the space and they get the assets. If ghost reestablishes, the contract is fine. But more so, the team has the capability to flip those guys and get more assets, on a team without many tradable assets. JVR looks bad now because of the salary. He doesn’t look bad next year when there are 2 years left and the Kong’s (or another team can eat half their salary). What’s a 25 goal scorer yet you at the deadline that’s signed for 2 years and 3.5 million. A lot.

So let me get this straight, of all the changes I built in here, you're bothered by:
1) Being concerned over Lindblom getting moved on his offwing to accommodate the addition of 3 forwards so that they can play where they're comfortable is laughable.
2) Hockey isn't a 1st line, 2nd line, 3rd line sport. Every coach plays matchups and if you want to alleviate the burden on Patrick, playing him with two offensively gifted wingers is a good way to do it. Switch the line order. It doesn't matter in the slightest.
3) As far as Radcliffe goes, if you watch him in juniors, the upside he brings currently in a 6'5" frame is far greater than anything Raffl can contribute. Maybe he does go to the minors, but I'd rather have the guys that can make a greater potential impact considering all other moves are to finish a rebuild
