They have a ton of dead money coming off the books to make a big trade if needed. Toronto can keep their picks.</div></div>

I do know the kings roster well. They will be stockpiling as many picks as they can in hopes to hit big. That is why Toronto who is built to win now makes for a great trade partner. You will be lauging when the kings win the cup in 23'

The Kings are not likely to be in the mix with how competitive the western conference is for the next few years. The picks will allow them to stockpile blue chip prospects in the early rounds with high potential in hopes that at least a few reach their potential. Those entry level contracts combined with Kopiter, Quick, Brown, and the rest of the core is how they will contend again.

The Kings likely won't have a competitive roster for at least the next 3 years. The retained salary will allow them to yield a larger return from Toronto and build towards the years where they can reach contention again. They want to move on from the Doughty contract and Toronto desperately needs that elite RHD.

The Kings have lost a lot of market share in LA due to the rise of the Rams, Lakers, and Clippers. After Doughty's abysmal season, this is their chance to bring in picks and young players to build for the future. They aren't going to make a lot of profit marketing Drew Doughty over athletes like LeBron and Aaron Donald.

Nashville has been looking for an elite winger for years. This is their chance to make a splash. They've been successful in recycling defenceman out over the years since their scouts draft defense very well. It is a trade that makes sense for both parties.

It is likely too large of a change for Colorado to make heading into the playoffs. They are waiting for the off season to pull the trigger on a big deal for a high caliber center.

Yes. In fact he has every season he has been in the league. Perhaps you should check his statistics.

Eichel has yet to even break the 30 goal mark. Statistically Matthews is a huge upgrade.

The Sabers would be giving away assets for an upgrade in Matthews. Toronto's management are looking to get rid of him after his antics demonstrated that he is not captain material. This is the best opportunity for the Sabers to make a splash and boost their goal scoring.

After taking a closer look, you sold Edmonton a bunch of mooks for a package of garbage late rounders.

You are demonstrating ageism with your comment. These players may be older than other players in their "prime" but that does not mean they are unable to produce. Joe Thornton had 51 points last year in 73 games. Clayton Keller puts up 47 points in 82 games and nobody bats an eye at the ridiculous 8yr/57 200 000 contract given to him. Joe Thornton is a much better value player. Don't old shame him.

I think that is being too optimistic in terms of what the Habs could get on a return. I put together a more realistic trade.

Frederick Anderson and Carey Price have roughly the same save percentage. Frederick Anderson is also younger and on a much better contract. As for your "then offer sheeted a bunch of mooks" comment, there was no offer sheet made here. Mitch Marner was a sign and trade. He also had 94 points last season which would make him the highest scorer on Montreal by 22 points. I really doubt you have any statistics to support your argument.

His demands are bordering on absurd. He deserves a similar contract to Sebastian Aho. Hopefully Montreal and Toronto can agree on a trade that works for both parties.

Unless you meant Lehkonen for a 1st, two 2nds, and a third? In that case Edmonton would likely decline as that is too many assets to give up. The trade I put together makes more sense.
