Ossi Vaananen Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) I know i'm going to get roasted, but please hear me out first. This started as an idea to get Fagemo out of LA and keep the chemistry between him and Hoglander alive. Then it occurred to me, there's no way the Kings are getting rid of him. There's also been some light rumours around the Canucks and Toffoli, so I figure we could make something work around these two central pieces. But what does Vancouver really need? Cap space for keeping our young core. Petey and Hughes will need big raises a year from now, while Gaudette and Virtanen will be RFAs this summer. That's not to mention extending Markstrom and Tanev, both UFAs this summer. So, how about Hoglander and a cap dump for Toffoli? VAN: Toffoli (UFA 2020) LAK: Hoglander 2 of Baertschi (3.4m 2021), Sutter (4.3m 2021), Eriksson (6m 2022) For the Sutter lovers, he's a cap dump. I'm sorry, but he's lost his spot to Gaud and I don't want to hear some nonsense of how played the full 82 3 seasons ago. He's done. Why does LA do this? Hoglander is a surefire prospect and has developed some slick chemistry with Fagemo. This could speed along their rebuild. They have 4.5m in cap space right now, and taking back Toffoli would free up another 4.6m, giving them some space to take on junk. Worth a thought.

So rent toffolli for 2 months for arguably one of the most exciting looking prospects ever drafted outside of the 1st round this team has ever had? k.... 3 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do that, and you still have to free probably 18m for Petey/Hughes the year after. We'll need to start dumping cap, that might cost us pieces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) While I'm all for getting Sutter, Eriksson, and Baertschi off the books, Hoglander is too good of a player (much like Podkolzin) to trade away to make cap space. And Toffoli offers no guarantee of re-signing here. Certainly some teams could be convinced to take a middling player by being offered a tantalizing prospect, but I highly doubt LA would take on 3 of them, even with Hoglander.

Dixon Ward Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I don't think Toffoli is the answer. Virtanen, Pearson, Rousell, and Leivo are all scoring at roughly the same pace as Toffoli and don't cost us anything. We also have Ferland. To give up anything for a sideways move is not worth it. If you are going to give up Hoglander+ it better be for a serious upgrade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Fist Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 id rather do erickson for carter. we add a prospect and a pick or couple picks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Fist Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 carter would be better for the younger guys. been to what like 6 or 7 conference final, 3 cup finals. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlastPast Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Better to wait until the off-season to move Eriksson as his bonus will be paid and he will be cheaper/ easier to move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I'd rather keep Eriksson than trade Hog to another team, especially a Pacific team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's the plan. While I was initially not a fan of him coming back into the lineup, I think it's a stroke of genius on the part of Green to play him in a high profile spot. Not only has he been more than adequate, but it does have a positive effect on his trade value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to continue to be patient and build through our draft picks and not give them away.. By the time we loose all the dead weight all our draft pick will be on or close to being on our team so be patient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So offering say a 3rd 4th or 5th to Seattle to take one of Baertschi, Sutter or Ericsson in the expansion draft is a bad idea over dumping Hoglander why?
