Well they could shed the salary after the playoffs. But the point is they will lose one of the big boys one way or anotrher. It aint gonna be four prospects for kovi

There is no way DL will even consider dealing Bernier. Fugettaboutit. I wish everyone would stop mentioning his name. Nor is he likely to cough up a lop-sided amount of young marquee D-men. (Remember: always build from the back, out. Always keep the pipeline full of Gs and Ds.) Nor is he going to deal for anyone, anytime, if it means being hog-tied by the salary cap.

Having said that, there are still plenty of options. Should a deal for Kovalchuk go through, ATL would certainly be getting at least one roster player, at least one prospect, and our ’10 first round draft pick. There’s nothing out of the ordinary in that formula. Fill in the blanks with whomever — as long as they don’t include the names Kopitar, Doughty, Bernier, Schenn, and probably Hickey, Quick… and Brown, I reckon.

Brace yourself, Quisp. (I’m sure you already have.) When the time comes to “take the next step” — this season, perhaps? — DL *will* part with some of his babies. Sad to imagine it, but there are going to be a handful of his draftees who will never be branded with that hallowed LA Kings butt tattoo. :-(

(How do I know? I channel Lombardi in bi-weekly midnight seances with Juraj Mikus, Nina Hagen, Hugh Hefner, FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper, and the Dalai Lama. I also read his interviews and take him at his word.)

My personal ideal scenario: We don’t do anything at the trade deadline. We right the ship and make the playoffs. We do well in the playoffs. (Define that however you’re inclined.) The season is considered by all to be a resounding success. On July 1, Kovalchuk signs with us as a FREE AGENT! DL therefore gets full say in keeping and getting rid of whomever he deems doesn’t fit.

I’d prefer to part with Martinez and other middle tier guys but Atlanta doesn’t want those guys. I’d give them Purcell, Moller, Voynov, Hickey, Jack (begrudgingly), Zatkoff, Loktionov, or Elkins. They just pick the 3-4 they want and I’d be fine with it. They can even have Frolov too.

but he is right about this…
“Because the Kings need a proven goal scorer and a talent upgrade to compete with the Western Conference elite.”

not only do I like Q’s proposal better, but I think Atlanta would too… It’s so simple. Let’s do it ;)

peace!

Add in Voynov, and maybe even Hickey and I’m in!
