Also there’s lots of dumb players that work hard and are willing to go through walls. We need more meat and potato guys and less fancy boys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA fans are saying Vilardi should be tried as a winger before moved to see if he can. Their fans don’t seem to think he will be an NHL center. You might be taking a big winger over an NHL center.

That would be a great start yeah, I'd probably ask for slightly more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Kings have a lot of good prospects/young players, so I hope Allvin takes advantage of that Vilardi Kaliyev Byfield Kupari Durzi Turcotte Clarke Grans Geez, they could be a playoff team AND have this prospect pool. They're rich with prospects, time to Robinhood the Kings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I honestly don't know why Garland is even in the trade rumors. His last season with the Coyotes was fabulous, with 39 points over 49 games on a horrible team. That projects to a 65 point pace. No, he hasn't been as good since coming here, being on pace for 46 points in a full season. But even that is considered "good" for a 2nd liner. Then there's his motor, tenacity and agitating qualities, and we have to factor in that he's still in his mid-20's, locked in for 4 years after this one at under 5m. The only knock I really have on the guy is that he's small and not much of a physical presence despite not being afraid to get his hands dirty. But while he may not be laying out bone-crushing hits, his edgework is fantastic and he manages to squirt out of board battles he would otherwise have no chance of winning so although he's small, I don't feel it's as much a detriment that you'd expect. (Similar to what we see with Q. Hughes.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really see why LA would be loading up on high-end roster players and sending out A-level prospects at this stage in their rebuild arc. Me neither, but I was only referring to why Turcotte is associated to Garland rumors, and not Clarke. Not suggesting we want to trade with LA, or LA is interested in Miller, but as to why Clarke is not the name being thrown around... since it would take a piece like Miller to have Clarke associated with.

singing chef Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Interesting that LA have only 2 right shot forwards on their roster. Would make sense that they have interest in Garland, or perhaps Boeser ........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no chance they’d look to subtract such an important piece from their roster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobayashi Maru Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 The options are pretty exciting: Garland for Turcotte and Grans Miller for Schneider, Kakko and a 1st Motte for Liljegren If those things are possible that would be a major haul and sets us up for years. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would end up giving us a young core of: Kakko Pettersson Boeser Podkolzin Horvat Hoglander Pearson Turcotte Dickinson Highmore Lammikko Lockwood Hughes Schneider OEL Liljegren Rathbone Myers Grans Once Klimovich is ready he could replace Pearson or Dickinson and same with Grans replacing Myers in a year or two. We have our first plus the Rangers 1st to add more depth too. Hopefully we go for it as the timing seems too good to pass up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will also be wasting prime years of Pettersson, Hughes and Demko. Not the solution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just cause you pencil out a lineup doesn’t mean it will ever happen. Kakko has also yet to show he can be a first liner. And Schneider, Turcotte, and Grans are still just what ifs. Turcotte can’t produce at a high level in the AHL yet but he’s gonna be our third line center? Edited March 18, 2022 by DeNiro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
