Perry traded to Lightning

[VCRW]

I agree that there should be one more trade coming before noon. 4 second rounders is some pretty good currency. But maybe Holland wants to be Mortimer and Randolph at the draft.

Go Kenny Go!!!

I didn't mind him wearing a Kings tarp. Not sure why everyone knickers are all in a twist

The article above says the pick is a 2028 second rounder.

That makes it better. Tampa is likely to decline.

It would’ve shocked me to even think this 8 months ago but Perry was a great LA King. It’s true that the one you hate playing against the most is the one you love having on your team. Anyway, the trade makes perfect sense. I’m just wondering if the Kings are trying to collect every 2nd round pick in the draft.

 

[orpheus]

A late first? For a 40-year-old? I think a second is a minor miracle. I also wouldn't be shocked if they signed him again this summer. And I'd very much welcome it.

And then we can trade him again for a third.

 

[McSorleyFan]

Yup, 50% retained and a 2028 2nd round pick

 

[McSorleyFan]

I'd be really surprised if there isn't an addition coming today.

I'd welcome that. But teams over pay at deadline. Maybe waiting for/near draft day would be better.

What does age have to do with a seasoned and well proven playoff performer and a rental vet? He has intangibles that age really well.

Perry was almost a 0.5 goal per game to start the season. But it's true that was some time ago...still, with a potent offensive team he's bound to be productive in playoffs.

The problem is it's less of a sellers market than it seemed.

Can take Corey Perry off the Trade Targets board, he’s informed #LAKings he wants to stay. They will talk contract extension after the deadline.

#GoKingsGo unlikely to buy or sell

 

[K-Man #32]

A 40 year old for a 2nd he will sign with us in free agency

Aside from the sheer entertainment value of seeing this place melt down over his signing in the summer, watching him score dirty goals and sticking up for his teammates was one of the very few enjoyable aspects of Kings hockey this season.

Agreed, I hate to say it but his team-first attitude was impressive and even at 40 years old he was still not afraid to scrap. This team will greatly miss him.

One of my favorite Kings players this season! Now I need to go and scrub myself after saying that…

 

[ICE24]

Next season in his final season, he will lead the Kings in another trade deadline deal

 

[Birdman]

Strange... I thought I read yesterday that he wasn't going to waive his NMC at all. I guess a familiar contender got it done. Not sad at all....

He changed his mind overnight

I think he’ll be back!

 

[emsomaso]

I think he’ll be back!

I wouldn’t be surprised if Anaheim want him next season, to add some playoff experience and leadership to their young and (unfortunately) upcoming team…
