Truthfully, I’m just not a fan of giving up a bunch of major assets for a big name with the potential to end up just being a one-year rental. I’m a huge Kings fan and remember how badly the Lucic trade worked out for us, but I even thought at the time it was a massive overpay. I know 2015 Lucic is no Seth Jones, but I really hope that teams thinking about acquiring him really hit Columbus hard with his pending UFA status to bring down the asking price

Sujet: The Eichel Ransom Part One
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rylee92</b></div><div>How much I love the trade, Vegas wouldn't do it, niether would Buffalo, they will get rid of them, just with a bigger name</div></div>

This at least gets Buffalo’s attention. It opens up a discussion of whether it’s better to take good quality players now to start reversing the losing culture as soon as possible, or get all the prospects and picks.

Personally, if I am a buffalo fan, and my team trades our franchise’s best player in decades for “futures” and the return is nothing like the Lindros trade or, more realistically, the Duchene trade, they’ve lost me. I would fear that the Sabres maintain a losing culture and ruin top prospects much like the Oilers kind of did just before they drafted their lord and savior Connor McDavid

Sujet: The Eichel Ransom Part One
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockey_Nerd</b></div><div>I highly doubt Vegas looks to move Theodore at all. Moving him makes them incredibly thin at LD. I also don't think Tuch would be moved for Eichel. Not that Buffalo wouldn't be interested in him, but Tuch and Eichel played on a line in college and it sky rocketed Tuch play and value. I could see Vegas reuniting the 2 of them on a line to try to get the best of Tuch's low contract value.

I think a deal likely starts with Cody Glass (not negotiable), then likely includes Fleury for cap reasons, then go where you want with it. Likely at least a couple 1st round picks if Buffalo is rebuilding, then it really depends where Buffalo sees their main organizational weakness at. But I think younger, less proven guys are their target, not guys like Tuch or Theodore.</div></div>

I was just trying to find a way to make the money work in terms of acquiring Eichel. Fleury likely puts Buffalo on his no trade list, so maybe Vegas deals him to an “acceptable team” for a pick or prospect that they can use in the Eichel deal. Even though Eichel will still be an amazing player, giving up the top prospects for him when the team is up against the cap ceiling spells trouble when other guys in the top 6 start hitting free agency or regressing. It’s nice to have talented youth ready for when that day comes. Ironically, Vegas would be undertaking a major gamble here

Sujet: Laine
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bf3351</b></div><div>Its only been 2 years since the rebuild started, 2 more and it'll be over. No point in doing this. Kings literally need 2 top 6 wingers and a 2RD and the rebuild is over. Assuming Turcotte, Kaliyev, and Stutzle/Byfield pan out.</div></div>

I don’t want LA to rush things because having the best prospect pool in the league means options down the line. They can afford to be patient if guys like Kupari or Clague don’t materialize into anything beyond depth pieces. This is just my idea of what it would take to get Laine. “Slam dunk” 30-40 goal seasons like clockwork are hard to come by and would be costly, especially when a guy is in his early 20’s. It all comes down to if you want to pay this price. I’d be hesitant to trade away the 2nd pick in any blockbuster package, but I believe this is the price for the Kings to get Laine and they have the assets to justify it.
