"No, Arvidsson and Iafallo are bad contracts. Both are 30 or close to it, don't produce to their contract value and only have one year of term. Turcotte has been around long enough to be what he is. It's an extreme longshot that he gets much better.

With multiple teams bidding on PLD the Jets won't have to settle for a package that just makes them older and worse. They will get something they want.

Trades don't work like fans want them to. It won't be a bunch of pieces that you couldn't care less about losing because you realize they have little value, hence why you offer them, there will be at least one piece you don't want to lose. [/quote] "

This is wrong. Per The Athletic's player value models Arvidsson was worth $3.7 million in surplus value last year. Iafallo generated $3.6 million in surplus value. Those metrics can vary from methodology to methodology, but there is no world in which those are bad contracts. None.

I'm not saying that two very-good-but-not-young-and-soon-expiring-contract players are specifically what WPG is going to want for PLD, but its not because the contracts are bad and you wouldn't want them on your team. They absolutely make the Kings better (as they would any team). As a Kings fan I would be very VERY bummed if we had to jettison both those guys (and frankly, they are so valuable to the team I don't think they will move both). I am sad that we probably will have to lose one of them to make sure we get a #1 goalie.

Sujet: Cap Space with Edler Signed
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rookescr96</b></div><div>Is it just me or is LA barely gonna have enough cap space to sign Durzi. I can't see him signing for only $1 million he was their best defenseman every game of the playoffs</div></div>

Eh, I dont agree with that assessment haha. He was the defenseman that put up the most points, in large part because he was the only one with the skillset to approximate doughty's role, but he was not particularly great (or at times even good) on defense, and wasn't particularly great on the power play. The underlying defense metrics I've seen aren't like, outstanding by any means. Add in that he doesn't have a ton of leverage unless someone wants to offer sheet him - which is unlikely - and I think the deal gets done closer to a mil than not.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>irgids</b></div><div>Trading possibly the team's best defenseman for Siegenthaler??? Nah.</div></div>

In no way is Walker the Kings' best defenseman. Either way, one of Walker, Durzi or Roy have to go. There is a log jam already and its only going to get worse with Faber and Clarke on the doorstep. Durzi might be equally likely to move but I think I'd prefer to keep the offensive upside of Durzi, which we're going to need back there.

And yeah I don't know a ton about Steigenthaler other than he has very good, but not star-level underlying metrics and fits the timeline / cap space freeing up that is going to happen for the Kings. I'd be inclined to listen to whatever NJ wanted though, but maybe its a non-starter as you guys said.
