And it would be insane for the Kings to give up 55-65 goals and a huge faceoff advantage in order to get back 35-40 goals.

Not to mention, I keep thinking about this: the only reason for such a trade to involve the Kings at all would be that Marleau wouldn’t waive his NTC to go to OTT and OTT was so desperate to move Heatley and San Jose was so desperate to move Marleau that they had to find someone Marleau was willing to go to. If this were the case, Lombardi would have EVERYONE over a barrel, because everyone would NEED him to make it work. There’s no way he would have to do anything even remotely like over-paying. If SJ really wanted Heatley, they would have to sweeten the pot for Lombardi, and if OTT really wanted to get it done, THEY would have to sweeten the pot for Lombardi. All of which would make the returns to SJ and OTT so minimal than it’s better not to deal.

So when it doesn’t make sense for any of the three trade partners, I guess it’s safe to assume it really is happening, right? Maximum anguish for all?

Twitter exploded yesterday over a trade that makes absolutely no sense.

If you were Bryan Murray, would you trade Heatley for Frolov and Stoll? NO. If you were Dean Lombardi would you trade Frolov and Stoll for Marleau? NO. If you were Lombardi would you trade Heatley for Marleau straight up? HELL NO.
