LIDDYGIBBY5 1 Report post Posted October 22, 2007 http://www.thefourthperiod.com/news/lak071021.html Looks like the Kings are looking to move someone. The site names Dustin Brown or Alexander Frolov. It looks like the want a golaie but might also want a d-man. With Quincy, Meech, and Kindl in the system, would it make sense to move someone for either of thses two guys?

Guest Canadian Wings Report post Posted October 22, 2007 I'd take Dustin Brown in a second. Although i don't know what we would give up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kp-Wings 3 Report post Posted October 22, 2007 Hudler and a 2nd pick for Dustin Brown. Hey, I am aware of how unrealistic that trade seems, but you can never underestimate the stupidity of NHL GM's. While Lombardi did get Jack Johnson for chump change, he also gave Dan Cloutier a two-year contract extension before he even played a single game with the Kings. Even the smartest people do dumb things. I highly doubt it would happen, but I can always hope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well it says their looking for a goalie or depth at the defensive position...soooooooo, in other words no...it wouldn't work. Meech and a 2nd? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heaton 1 Report post Posted October 23, 2007 We have nothing that would interest the Kings for Dustin Brown...end of story. Sure we do, every team in the league would like to have a Jakub Kindl. Well, they do want more defenseman... I see no reason why it couldn't. As I said Lou, you can never underestimate the stupidity of the average NHL GM. Think of it as a smaller version of the Joe Thornton trade. Dean Lombardi is one of the best GM's in the league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GSBrooks13 204 Report post Posted October 23, 2007 I read earlier on TSN.ca that Lombardi denied the rumours of him looking to deal Frolov and Brown. So.. That means he probably is, they just dont know it yet.. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, but for Dustin Brown? Definitely not. How much would the Wings actually be willing to add on in addition to Kindl? Little I'd bet, as they'd already be giving up their best prospect. Well, they do want more defenseman... I see no reason why it couldn't. As I said Lou, you can never underestimate the stupidity of the average NHL GM.

Little I'd bet, as they'd already be giving up their best prospect. While Dustin Brown isn't just a regular 40 point getter, I think you're overvaluing him too much. Kindl and a late pick should be able to get Brown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lou_Siffer 1 Report post Posted October 24, 2007 While Dustin Brown isn't just a regular 40 point getter, I think you're overvaluing him too much. Kindl and a late pick should be able to get Brown. Brown is soon only turning 23 years old though...he's not even close to his prime yet. He went from 28 pts 2 years ago, to 46 last year. He's off to a good start this season and appears once again that he'll shatter that previous mark. With him also being a physical player and great hitter, I dont see why they'd give this guy up for Kindl. By saying Kindl and a late pick you're basically saying Kindl carries the same value as Brown. I cant see that being the case with what Brown has already showed at the NHL level. I know he's our best prospect, but is he actually that well regarded around the league? Trading a young guy on the rise in the NHL, for another young guy who's in the AHL doesnt seem to make sense to me, regardless of needs....as they could definitely use Brown to get a young(ish) NHL defenseman if thats what theyre after.

Kindl has top pairing ability, Dustin Brown on a good team is a great 2nd liner but a mediocre 1st liner. He'll always be at the top in hits and is a guy every team will want, but Kindl is going to be the type of defensemen every team needs. Jakub Kindl is close to being a top 5 defensive prospect.

If the Kings move any of those two players it'll be for a player that can help them now (a starting goalie) aka no one the Wings have to offer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kp-Wings 3 Report post Posted October 24, 2007 (edited) Dean Lombardi is one of the best GM's in the league. That doesn't mean he would be incapable of the occasional blunder. He has already made one huge error mark in his short term as GM: giving Cloutier the 2-year contract extension before he even played a game with the Kings. Heck, why did he even aquire Cloutier in the first place? He's a terrible goalie. But, I'm just thinking positivily. I would love for a guy like Brown to play on the Wings, since he's exactly the kind of player that we need (a big, physical, scoring winger). I really don't think Lombardi is that stupid, because he is a good GM. He basically got Jack Johnson for nothing. Ok, i'll bite. Lebda, Samuelsson, and Hudler for Brown. That's more like it. We all need to be on the same page, you know. Edited October 24, 2007 by Kp-Wings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Canadian Wings Report post Posted October 24, 2007 okay guys!!! lilja and a 1st is as far as i'm willing to go!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted October 24, 2007 Lilja would actually have a surprising amount of value to the Kings. He'd instantly be one of their two best defensive defenseman. Realistically though, it would probably have to be at the very least Filppula or Hudler plus Quincey or Meech for either Frolov or Brown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,804 Report post Posted October 24, 2007 okay guys!!! lilja and a 1st is as far as i'm willing to go!! We can't trade Lilja. I'd lose about 25% of my comedy material without him, especially with Lang already gone. Besides, we need an enforcer in there when Downey gets sent down.

Kp-Wings 3 Report post Posted October 24, 2007 Lilja was actually drafted by the Kings. Though, that was during the Dave Taylor regime, so the guys in there now probably don't know as much about him.
