Sujet: BETTMAN GETS BYFIELD
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>batman</b></div><div>1) Byfield extension is already going to be between 8-9M AAV. They’re not going to let him walk because they don’t want to pay 1M more in AAV.. He’s a stud. And Roy is already probably going to walk. Thank the PLD contract for that one. Try between 10-11M AAV if you really want to get the 21yr old out of L.A.

2) Kings could pass on that one, just because another talented forward wouldn’t come back in the deal. But the value would be fair/what they’re looking for. They would then draft a crazy talented foward with the #6 like Demidov or Lindstrom and then would also bet Guhle. Imagine a Clarke-Guhle pair. Losing Roy wouldn’t hurt at all because you just got Guhle and Clarke is going to be full time nhler next szn.

3) We are way more ready than what everyone thinks. We’re going to aim for the playoffs next year. With Suzuki Dach Slafkovsky Caufield Reinbacher Newhook Guhle Hutson and the #5 overall + another trade like the Newhook one ( Necas?). We loaded the prospect pool this last 3 drafts. We can already win big games Vs Big teams. We learned and took experience, the pieces are assembling. We don’t need few more years, it’s time. With Cayden Lindstrom at #5, our team could look like :


Lindstrom ( #5) - Dach - Slafkovsky
Caufield - Suzuki - Necas (Newhook/Dach trade expected
Newhook - Dvorak - Anderson
RHP - Evans - Roy

Matheson - Guhle
Hutson - Reinbacher
Xhekaj - Savard

Hutson and Reinbacher probably make the team.</div></div>

The Kings can't give him a big deal and stay competitive. They are a wild card team and if they lose Roy, their depth and sign another mediocre goalie, it will be worse by going long on Byfield. They need him to bridge and then adjust Doughty and Kopitar cap hits when they expire and then go long on Byfield. It's pretty known from King fans on this site.

I know Montreal has many talented prospects but it's going to be a few years before competitive. That's all I said... Lol

Anderson Gally Savard Matheson will all be gone unless they run Guhle RHD but that pair hasn't been very good.

Lindstrom is talented but will not be NHL ready next season. Dach off a serious knee injury will need time. Reinbacher, Hutson and Mailloix all need time to develop. It won't be next year.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheBoyDuddus</b></div><div>As much as I love Lekkerimaki, a late 1st in a draft a year from now and a B-C prospect doesnt make up the difference to Batherson, especially considering the value he brings with production relative to his contract which still has term. If Ottawa were to seriously consider moving him it would need to be for a package that was an objective overpay, similar to the perception surrounding th Hagel deal with TB, which I dont think is something that would interest the Canucks who, like Ottawa, are going to be hard pressed for cap space.</div></div>

Ya, I can see that perspective for sure. Batherson is extremely productive and on a great deal. The TB firsts were both late and top 10 protected for Hagel. Raddysh a kicker. So maybe another prospect/young roster player could be desired.
