   Danuault just needs to be a D forst, 3rd line center to match up with the other teams best, so suzuki line doesn;t have too. Suzuki gets way too much ice time

   It should allow MSL to match his ‘rookie line.’ to whatever opponents’ line.’.
   With KD and AN they could become ‘the’

   If they play Danault on 2nd line I'll be pissed tbh, bottom 6 only

   Phil is never satisfied with his role . I hope he can accept Velano's role unless Evans is out for awhile. 2nd round pick is a lot but probably good it was done before Evans injury or the ask would have been more

   They asked around and that is the best they could for a guy with 5 assists.

   I think because there wasn’t any money retained is why only got 2nd round pick,having that money will make it easier for LA for them too get a player.

    With regards to Arban suspecting that it was to do dinner with solid and that’s why they didn’t get what they initially asked for, I would suspect that they would’ve wanted another bottom six centre in return. The problem would’ve been the tap issue with Denno, most teams don’t have a ton of extra cast space, or at least enough to justify 5 1/2 million dollar bottom sex center. The ads once again Weaponized cast space to be able to make that happen and as the results that high greater value of LA than another bottom six center.

    Is he on pace for 12 points this season?

    Too early to simply say "he's not what he was". For all we know, he was just in a slump to start the year with the Kings. Doesn't sound like he was happy with the coaching staff. I'm not holding my breath, but he could easily be rejuvenated from the trade and play great hockey.
