<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CoOtzi02197</b></div><div>QUICK SUCKS
CAMPBELLS GONE
PETERSON STILL NEEDS GROOMING
Shall I continue</div></div>

Quick does not suck. He had a rough start to last season, but in 2020 he had a 2.27 GAA and .923 SV%. Well above average in the league.

Petersen is NHL ready now. He had 3 years of NCAA, 3 years of AHL, and parts of 2 seasons in the NHL, filling in for injuries and stepping in as full time backup after Campbell was traded. He could be the starter this season, but the Kings will likely give Quick one more year as starter before they transition that job to Petersen.

If Lundqvist didn't have a full NMC, the Kings would consider taking him as a cap dump if the Rags were willing to offer up a draft pick. He could serve as a mentor to Villalta and Ingham in Ontario. Who better to learn from than the King. Since he does have a full NMC and likely isn't amenable to spending the final year of his career in the AHL, I don't see how this trade would work.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bf3351</b></div><div>Why is it all the sudden Leddy and Hickey or pay a 3rd for Leddy only? If those are my 2 options I'm declining both, that's my opinion.

I don't even like the idea of taking Leddy and Komarov, I think it's silly and their are better options. However, I wouldn't be mad if that happened.

We could get Andersson and probably a pick too for taking Staal which makes it even more attractive.</div></div>

Leddy has always been a 3rd round value by himself or a 6th/7th for Leddy + a dump. Komarov was the original suggested dump. If the Isles prefer to send Hickey or Clutterbuck instead, then that's fine too, but the value of the trade doesn't change.

I don't think Lias Andersson really has any value at this point. That guy will eventually be joining Scherbak and Yakupov in Europe. A pick would be welcome, but I think Blake would prefer a defenseman that's actually decent on the ice. If they can't make the Leddy deal work and a few other deals fall through, they very well could consider Staal instead.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bf3351</b></div><div>Played over 20 mins a game, played solid defensively, and was in the + category while playing for the Sens.

I'd take Staal and be compensated for it and play him with Doughty. Doughy has had worse partners in Forbort and Ryan. Another year can't hurt. I'd do that before making a silly trade like taking Leddy AND Hickey for free...</div></div>

But Leddy isn't a cap dump. You can say no to Hickey and give up a 3rd instead if you don't want the extra cap hit. Leddy is still a quality defenseman that just finished a postseason that exceeded expectations for him.

Staal is a decent enough option, but I don't think he's any better than Forbort. He has leadership ability and top-pairing experience, which is why he'd be attractive to LA, but he's essentially Phaneuf-equivalent at this stage of his career.
