The 2017-2018 Training Camp / Pre-Season Thread

I don't know but they're not getting Nylander with Doughty nearing the end of his deal while publically bitching about the Kings direction.

If they deal Doughty at this year's deadline, he'll essentially be a pending UFA. And no player who's that close to unrestricted free agency is going to garner their team a 21 year-old, first-line talent like Nylander.

What he'd get them is the typical star UFA rental package: A solid prospect, a first round pick, and an OK roster player. Give or take some minor prospects/players or mid-round picks around the edges of the deal.

No, they're not.

I imagine we would include Zaitsev though, for cap and lineup balancing purposes.

Why??

Rielly-Doughty
Gardiner-Zaitsev

I would give up basically anything outside of Matthews-Nylander-Marner-Kadri-Reilly-Gardiner for Doughty. That would be a stupid good addition. Even if it is just for a year and a half.

 

[MindzEye]

Why??

Rielly-Doughty
Gardiner-Zaitsev

Because:

1) Hainsey hasn't died since the last time I checked, and he is very much a top 4 defender
2) If we had any notion to re-up Doughty, we would need cap space
3) Value would still have to go the other way, and Zaitsev has value.

Liljegren might interest LA as well.

Nylander not interested in negotiating extension during season:

"You either renew it before the season or after the season," Nylander said on Wednesday afternoon. "I just want to focus on the team and the way I'm playing during the year."

Liljegren would be the prize for doughty i think.
