<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PuckLuck_77</b></div><div>I think a definitive NHL defenseman with Powerplay potential is worth significantly more than a 5th round pick. But hey, that's why we're on a blog/forum type site. I'm not expecting the huge return of a 1st or an A prospect, but a 2nd that is a lotto pick to a player that is more likely to not make the NHL than make it? I think that's fair value. The last player to go for just a 5th round pick was Mike Raffl. Sean Walker is worth significantly more than Raffl, and plays a premium position. He's a guy that averages 16-18 minutes a night, and he's on a team friendly deal with term.

Also, not sure if you've been watching, but LA's been a pretty decent team this year. Their success hasn't even come against the "weaker" Pacific. They've done their damage in the standings to very good teams in the East and Central. They just need finishing ability, hence the point of this ACGM.



Like I said in the trade bubble, Roy isn't available. The Kings don't have a stylistic comparable player to Roy ready to take his minutes and usage. They won't until Brock Faber is ready to enter the NHL. So think 2 years down the road.

I think it's selling low too, but in this ACGM it's for the purpose of moving enough cap to sign Forsberg.</div></div>

LA is in the bottom half of the league in points percentage. They are a below average team. Walker has Doughty and Roy ahead of him and Durzi's been half decent as well. If he was 24, then maybe someone takes a flyer on him but he's 27 with two full season under his belt on a non playoff team. (Last 2 seasons) Fans on here need to realize that being a depth guy on below average teams likely make most players bubble players on good teams. Just like how bubble players on good teams can find homes on worse teams. A 2nd has the potential to be something very valuable, Walker is a 3rd pair defenceman of little importance or upside.
