Does Blake Make A Move?

Deal for Pacioretty..............Put him on left wing with Kopi and Brown..........

Some options..

Mike Green- UFA after this season. Probably best rental defenseman available so he’d cost a lot. I’m gonna say it doesn’t happen.

Justin Faulk- Carolinas still in the playoff race, but seeing who’s ahead of them, hard to imagine them making it. Haven’t seen Faulks name up there in any rumors, but would be someone to try for. Would probably cost too much as well.

My guess is...

Dion Phaneuf- However, only if Ottawa is willing to eat up half his cap hit for final 3 years of his deal. It’s not absurd, as they are probably going full rebuild. We’d probably have to give up a decent prospect or draft pick since Ottawa is taking so much of the cap hit. 3.5 mil a year for Phaneuf is a good bargain.

Phaneuf-Doughty
Muzzin-Martinez
Forbort-Folin/MacD/Fantenberg

Kings have been burned twice on pending UFA rentals---been there, done that

Phaneuf is interesting, but a 3 yr commitment, even if OTT pays half, is a lot for a guy who's on the down side of his career

JMFJ wants a trade!

Carolina is more likely to trade Justin Falk than Justin Faulk.
Ottawa would have to throw in Karlsson to take Phaneuf. Good lord people.

Plus that whole winning the Cup this year thing

There is that, but I have seen playoff contenders trade high profile UFA's. It happens.

Whenever anyone asks me if the Kings are going to trade for Justin Faulk, I say "It's none of your Faulken business."

Trades with Columbus have worked out well in the past!
