HKSR Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 (edited) Yotes going for the cup!!11!! In all seriousness it does look like Arizona is finally looking to become relevant. Wonder if they wouldn't mind Garland back there. Edited June 24, 2023 by HKSR 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billabong Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 That’s actually a pretty fair price surprised no one could beat it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durzi isn't great defensively, but he can certainly play top 4 minutes with the right LHD partner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Shockingly low price for a guy like Durzi. Really nice bit of business from Arizona. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't start trying to ice a legit team, I wouldn't be surprised to see Cooley enjoy his time in college and go the UFA route. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwijibo Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Clearing cap for PLD? Seriously though they only 16 players signed and $9m in cam space. They’d have to move a lot more cap to make a PLD trade work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanSeanBean Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 (edited) That's a heck of a deal for Arizona.. how much better is Hronek then Durzi? Similar age, size, position. Durzi was better in advanced stats but on a much better team. Is Hronek a top 20 pick better? Edited June 24, 2023 by MeanSeanBean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doxm Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Wtf? What a terrible trade for the Kings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar age, size, position. Durzi was better in advanced stats but on a much better team. Is Hronek a top 20 pick better? Arguably, yes. Durzi is a very offensive D-man who puts points up on the powerplay. He had a bit of a sophomore slump this year and he is indeed a lesser player than Hronek. I'm sure Durzi will do fine in Arizona. He did play on the left side most of the season (great for one-timers I guess). Only LA would have an overabundance of RDs. They've got Spence and Clarke lined up at RD too.

They’d have to move a lot more cap to make a PLD trade work LA has their own in-house beat writer. He writes: [Durzi] is, however, in the same mold as both Spence and Clarke, as an offensively gifted, right-shot defenseman. The Kings believe in both Clarke and Spence and this move signals that they feel one of those players can fill the role Durzi vacated, which likely points to third-pairing minutes and second power-play duty, for half the space against the salary cap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilduce39 Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 We don’t really need Durzi but that seems like a nice price for Arizona. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Surprised the Kings couldn't get more for Durzi. 40 point right-shot defenseman who, although not a shutdown D, has PK experience, can play both sides, and is only 24. You'd think he should have been a hot commodity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s insane if his modest $1.7M cap hit depressed his value to a 2024 2nd…appreciate he’ll be due a raise in another season, but still….wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
