Description

Waiving all NMC/M-NTC: Jarry would be a fit with LAK's defensive system, Smith & Rakell would assist with scoring talent on the wings, this also rids PIT of Jarry and Rak's contracts, Smith is on his last year. Dubois has fallen out of favor in LA, and PIT is taking a huge risk with this large and lengthy contract but are investing in a center with rebound potential, Laferriere and the 2nd rounder are fair compensation - it's a win/win for both sides. MTL is getting rid of Anderson's contract w/ some retention and receiving a solid, cheaper 4th liner/PK guy in Acciari. PIT will encourage Anderson to bring a physical net front presence to their team. Joseph plays with his brother in OTT. Graves rebounds in UTAH

no thanks to PLD and that horrific attitude and contract.
and same applies to anderson. Even with partial retention.

That Utah trade is heinous.

Montreal definitely doesn't consider that either.

So instead of paying anderson 5.5m we'll be paying acciari 4.5m and we use a retention slot AND WE PAY YOU A 4TH ?!?!?!

OTT is the only trade I think the other team would consider.

The Kings' only conceivable rationale for trading Pierre-Luc DuBois would be to get cap relief, so why in the world would Los Angeles be taking $15.375 million in cap back?

I don't believe for a minute that "Smith & Rakell would assist with scoring talent on the wings" inasmuch as the far younger DuBois and LaFerriere can be expected to improve on their combined 63 points this season and the year older and slower Rakell and Smith probably won't improve on their combined 77 points with the system and center they would have in LA. That's just a pipe dream.
