Don't know if Trouba is what the Leafs need, but they sure as hell need a good shut down d-man. |

This is just dumb. The Kings do not want, nor can they afford, to spend nearly $12M/year on goalies for the next three years. Quick is out until January, in which time MAF could prove to be useful, but what do they do with him after that?
If the Kings do acquire a goaltender, it will either be someone's backup signed to a very reasonable AAV contract, or it will be a capable starting goaltender on the last year of their contract (Miller, Bishop, Mason, Bernier). Bernier to me seems the most obvious since the Ducks desperately need the cap space, and since Bernier's contract isn't too high to work around when Quick comes back. |

Respectfully have to question validity of the sources on the Leafs rumors. Everyone knows the Leafs need young high quality d-men to align with their high quality prospects up front. But everyone also knows - or should know - that this Leaf regime, Lou in particular - aren't exactly loose lipped when it comes to their plans.
I can see them parting with Gardiner and a forward prospect not in the NHL, but that's about it for Trouba, and based on what we read, that wouldn't be enough for the Jets. Don't see this happening, but as always, conjuring up fictional rosters is good fun. |

Not sure if "Crash and"Bernier is any good to anybody, maybe going back to LA might help him, but I think not only has the Bernier ship sailed, it's grounded and ready for scrap.
Based on trading history, I think Fowler would be a better option for the Leafs, not that Trouba isn't skilled or Fowler is better, I just think Fowler more rounded for what the Leafs need.

Have to agree with what was already said about the Leags/Trouba. If you are hearing anything it isnt likely true since Lou doesnt let anything "leak" unless intentionally.
LA is a different story. Kings window is just about closed here. You either write off the season or bring someone in. Quick gone 3 months then getting back into game shape going to take at least a month. He's starting to break down with such heavy reliance on just him. Pavelec IF the Jets eat salary could be the most ideal, but could see MAF too cause expansion you leave him exposed and good chance Vegas takes him. The real issue is what LA can offer given the club's status and they cant afford trading young assets. |

Gardiner, Kapenen, and a pick for Trouba.
Laine and Kapenen could look dangerous on a line. |

It's getting louder every day that the Leafs are VERY much in on this one. And they know they need Trouba's skills in the worst way....
Why is it so loud??? No one is saying this except you.

I would tend to think the Kings would want "a 2-3mil, 40games but then drop him easily when Quick gets back" type of goalie. That doesnt seem to be Fleury for me.
my prediction.
Ryan Miller
*He wanted west coast, his wife is an actress, VAN will start rebuilding and LA can drop him in the off season.
The asking price most likely would be low, its also possible that LA will see about Van taking Brown's contract.
my 2nd is DAL... they im sure would like to move one of Niemi/Lehtonen out.

Trouba, this will go on until Feb by my estimation. |

Dude, calm down. Ek is a troll. Most people with a brain knows Pittsburgh and LAK are a bad matchup for a deal involving MAF.

Asking price would be high if Vancouver is to take on Brown. Don't fool yourself. I can't see any sane GM doing that. |

It will be funniest when the Kings trade for JF Berube, who the Isles claimed off of waivers...from the Kings. |

Agree that it is dumb but the Kings have alot of other dumb contracts. Do you really think the Ducks make a trade with the Kings even if this does make sense?
As for picking up "someone else's backup" that is what they did with Zatkoff and we know how that is working out.
The Kings have a tough decision to make and other issues with their team as well....(Brown). |

or the Kings claiming Condon, who they could have had a week ago for free, after Murray returns, but didn't put in a claim even after Quick got hurt.

the bernier angle is an intriguing one. the ducks have a desperate need to shed to sign lindholm, and this would help. no argument that teams aren't going to do the kings any favors, and quite frankly there's no enticing package LA can come up with unless it involves kempe and/or mersch and/or high draft picks, which is how their depth is a mess in the first place.
still low chance of dealing to a division rival, but the needs of both may be enough in this instance to make it happen. any deal for someone with a serious cap hit would prob necessitate putting quick on LTIR, which they seem reluctant to do. |
