J.I.A.H.N Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I have been looking at the LA Roster on Capfriendly and noticed they are lacking depth, and that they are short a few players...…... Please take a look...……... https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/kings What I am seeing is a shortage of bottom end defensemen and forward depth Trade Proposal Pouliot and Granlund both at 50% for 1 year for Budaj (send down to Utica) , 2019 1st, and 2019 4th IMO, this gives LA some much needed depth, while giving us some room to move in prospects, while gaining assets For LA, the cap retention and taking Budaj allows them to add an additional player at the TDL for a playoff run All cap clears at the end of the year for both teams...…….

Adarsh Sant Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 You think LA would give up a 1st for that?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well first, I think they are real shallow and are in need of extra players But are just about out of cash......maybe I am wrong, which is why I suggested everyone look at their cap and their numbers I think that moving some of their dead weight (Budaj) and getting depth players has to have some value Am I wrong for thinking that? With LA getting old, and their window is short What do you think they can get in UFA for 2 million (which basically gives them enough depth to withstand the first bought of injuries Do you think they signed Kovalchuk at 6.2 M to go out in the first round? Or not make it? I am betting they move picks to get those players, and their value will be no more than what we are offering at 2x the cost, and still paying for Budaj I think they have a problem Maybe the return is 2 2nds?, but it shouldn't be anything less It is a good question though and maybe I over shot...……...thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.I.A.H.N Posted August 8, 2018 Author Share Posted August 8, 2018 I invite CDC to counter the proposal....tell me what you think the value is to a needing team...….. Maybe it is MDZ, at 50% but that uses up their cap as well...….that is the problem, the better the player, the more cap they take Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cripplereh Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 we might get a 4th for that at best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingleThorn Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Well, every great trade proposal includes someone retaining 50%, and there must be a 4th round pick going somewhere. So...........great trade ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastal.view Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 you really do not understand the value of retention slots you do not burn those slots on very low value contracts like pouliot and granlund have your proposal would handcuff the team at the tdl you also completely undervalue (from la's viewpoint) a 1st round draft pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 They do have Fantanberg, LaDue who will play depth roles. Vilardi will probably play NHL this year, push some guys down the depth chart. If they are lucky, he could be close to Dubois in Columbus? Not sure Clague is ready, but is very exciting for them.

BCNeil Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 So you want the Canucks to take 2 players they signed to one year contracts this summer.....humiliate them with a trade the same summer with 50% retention. In hopes of a first round pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I'd do the 2 2nds though As BCNiel said I highly doubt JB trades 2 guys he just signed w 50% retained. I think selling low on Granlund would be an error not that you are, just making a blanket statement. He can score 20 and play 200' in almost any situation and play C in a pinch, signed under 1.5m to me he's worth a 2nd by himself no retention otherwise keep him it's not as though he hurts the team when he is on the ice and you dont hurt his development by having him in the press box to me he is ideal depth for the Canucks to play youth but have a guy they need to out work to stay in the lineup. To my eye Gagner and MDZ have got to go eventually this season. You might get mid to late rnd picks for them due to their ability to tread water at their valuable positions C and D which is fine by me......... Loui on the other hand we are married to for 2 more seasons after which he could be moved to a cap floor team. He (Loui) is still a useful NHL player though his cap hit is atrocious. If the Canucks made the playoffs I might have Granlund ahead of him on my depth chart for the versatility. From where I sit the Canucks don't need to sell these guys until our prospects actually out play them in meaningful games. Counter proposal Granlund full bang to LA for a 2nd if not no harm in keeping him he hardly ever gets burned on poor coverage and can be used as a bandaid in the top 6.
