Most of the chips to trade are injured.

Unless he wants to move a young forward which I doubt.

Yeah. That's unfortunate. More bad luck.

This is not Lavi's fault that his defense is made of glass (this year).

Not saying it was, just making an off the wall joke.

Andrei Loktionov - Loktionov has three goals in his last four games

What did he cost Uncle Lou again?
A fifth round pick?

Who could they be looking at? Not many choices on the ice today.

Yup. A 5th rounder. So a player picked in the #135-140 range. That player should easily make the Kings roster.

I think the forwards are comparable; they had Carter, Richards, Umberger, and Upshall. Also, remember that they were able to bring in Jason Smith, Kimmo Timonen, Scott Hartnell, and Lupul in trades, plus the late-season acquisition of the good version of Coburn. They also signed the good version of Briere as well. That was a pretty drastic overhaul. I don't think the pieces are out there to do some of those deals again.
I really think next year will be more of the same. I hope not, but I think they need to only make moves of pieces signed past this year if they're blown away, and restock the cupboard. Maybe in 2 years start to build after you've have 2 seasons to see what is and isn't working.

I disagree to an extent.

I dont think you can compare Carter, Richards Umberger and Upshall to

Giroux, Voracek, Simmonds , Schenn , Couturier, Read.

I loved Carter and Richards and neither were as dynamic as Giroux and Voracek. Yes some combo of the back 3 players I listed will most likely be moved but that just makes us better.

I doubt Homer would move any of those players.

Anything can happen though.

Big blow for Pens. Shero will have to go out and rob another unsuspecting GM blind again.

Yeah. Just your average role players. Not sure either of those guys gets you a pick higher than a 3rd rounder.

I hope not, I'm just being snarky today.

Feds and Gagne could help a playoff team with depth on the bottom six and PK.
Talbot for sure, although the Flyers would have to be blown away to deal him.

I agree Marc. Talbot is a good player at a reasonable cap hit. I would keep him, unless someone overwhelms you. Guys who are UFA's should be dealt for picks/prospects.
