Sujet: LAK and PIT become friends
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>You're not getting the point -- Los Angeles has no cap room with DuBois' and LaFerriere's cap hits totaling $9.375 million, so how do you expect us to take on $6 million extra in cap?

Retain 50% on each of Rakell, Smith and Jarry and <strong>THEN</strong> there would be a deal to be made between Dubas and Blake. Math is math.

Go on the CapFriendly Kings home page. You'll see that the current projected roster for next season has 12 players and other charges totaling $66.8 million. Taking away DuBois and LaFerriere and adding Rakell, Smith and Jarry adds one additional player and $6 million to those figures. That leaves $14.9 million to spread among one goalie and at least eight skaters, one of whom is Quinton Byfield. Bottom line: we can't afford your unwanted, expensive, short-term, low-value players.</div></div>

I recall the High School posters, " Math is Universal " - but Pierre's contract and potential for difficulty is too great. You'd be able to fill out the remaining 3/4 lines, D &amp; backup goalie with ~15 million. The other alternative is buyout PLD - but depending on how long the Finals go, you may get lucky with only paying 1/3 but if he turns 26 you'll be looking at 2/3. I'd be surprised if they keep him on the roster.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>The Kings' only conceivable rationale for trading Pierre-Luc DuBois would be to get cap relief, so why in the world would Los Angeles be taking $15.375 million in cap back?

I don't believe for a minute that "Smith &amp; Rakell would assist with scoring talent on the wings" inasmuch as the far younger DuBois and LaFerriere can be expected to improve on their combined 63 points this season and the year older and slower Rakell and Smith probably won't improve on their combined 77 points with the system and center they would have in LA. That's just a pipe dream.</div></div>

The Kings need a goaltender, Jarry would be a good fit; Smith has a year left on his deal - LAK showed interest at the deadline; Rakell is a year removed from a 30 goal season with only 4 more years - The risk is all on PIT with Pierre's contract and would be his 4th team in 4 years. The upside for the Pens is the youth and for the Kings to rid themselves of 8.5mil by 8 years, hence the cap relief. The Kings are looking at buying out his contract. There's a deal to be made between Dubas and Blake.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Anaheim would have no interest in Poulin or Joseph, particularly the latter inasmuch as we have 5 NHL-qualified left-handed defensemen on the roster for next season already.

You can't construct intelligent trade proposals by starting with what assets you think are easily expendable. The first step in any such construction is deciding what asset(s) you would like from a team, and the second step is to imagine what that team needs and would want in exchange for said asset(s). For Anaheim, that's a quality RW or RD as a beginning.</div></div>

That's exactly how intelligent trades are constructed, with expendable assets. If you're a New Ducks fan, they would value Center Depth - considering Zegras likely gets traded this offseason. As for LD, Joseph would be an upgrade to your left side.
