The trade-deadline wheels continue to slowly turn. With 10 days until the deadline, there’s still more talk than action, although two Western Conference teams have picked up pieces in the last 24 hours, with San Jose adding Tampa Bay’s Dominic Moore and with Nashville adding Montreal’s Hal Gill. Following up on Justin Williams’ thoughts from the other day, regarding trade-deadline anxiety for players, Jarret Stoll expressed similar sentiments. Stoll has never been a part of a midseason trade — he moved from Edmonton to the Kings in the summer of 2008 — and said he doesn’t get caught up in deadline anxiety.
STOLL: “It’s everybody’s choice. Sometimes guys, especially young guys, they’re online checking the blogs or whatever. You can get caught up in it if you want to, but the bottom line is, you’ve got to worry about your game, your team and winning games, playing good hockey. That’s all you can control. That’s all you can worry about at this stage. That’s it, really. It’s black and white. Let the people that are the powers that be makes those decisions and make those moves, and leave it at that.”
Question: Some guys say the whole thing is overrated, that it’s really not a distraction for players…
STOLL: “Yeah. It’s for you guys in the media to speculate and talk about it and report it. That’s really all it is. Our job isn’t to do that. Our job is to play hockey and try to win games. But yeah, some guys are going to look at it, read articles and stuff like that, and it won’t bother them. Some guys do that kind of thing, and it does bother them. Those are the guys you’ve got to watch, and make sure that they have the right attitude.”
” but the bottom line is, you’ve got to worry about your game, your team and winning games, playing good hockey. That’s all you can control.”
Really?…….then what’s the problem?

The worst part of the season is this…The Kings only have 4 keepers for next year(on offense)Kopi,Brown,Williams, and Richards…the rest are 4th line types.Now the question is this ..how does the Kings replace Stoll,Penner(both 20 goal scorers in the past)and Mitchell(who the Kings should resign)At this point DL should admit his moves didnt work(Moreau,Hunter etc) and become sellers and start rebuilding for next season.You add Nash and with our defense ..its a start.With Nash added to our top 4 you basically have two top lines.Then with the rst…you make a 4th line.So yu only need to come up with a third line.Then you allow the coach to change/update the system where scoring is ok….If you cant do this…then you shouldnt be a GM…

@neil, Our 3rd and 4th line would score more if our top 2 lines scored consistently. The problem is all the players are afraid to try anything different, as it could lead to a mistake and a goal scored by the opponent. At this time all other teams need to do is score one goal and basically that is it. Our guys need to go out there and just go all out. Not worry about making mistakes. We have Quick to help out when mistakes are made. Just attack and the goals will start going in. Attack the net, go down the middle and shoot the puck.

I wouldn’t keep any D-men, save Mitchell and Voynov.

Players that have left the King are scoring
And how many goals they have on new teams…
What’s the purpose of this?
To depress us even more..
Is it to perhaps emphasise our failing system…
Or to remind us of DL’s failure in obtaining solid scoring forwards…
It’s counter productive and getting old…

The Kings would send Bernier to Columbus
Columbus would send Nash to the Rangers
The Rangers would send a d-man (Del Zotto? McDonaugh?) + to CBJ
The Rangers would send Gaborik to Kings
Lombardi wanted Gaborik before he signed with the Rangers. He likes the contract term. He’ll still be able to make Parise a nice offer. He likes 3-team trades.
What does everyone think about that? I really don’t like giving up Bernier, but it’s not a bad idea.

@Captain Material,
And just so I’m not being completely negative, here’s some info from Dreger (who isn’t a sage, but also isn’t selling snake oil like your referenced source):
“Q: Darren,
Do you think a goaltender absolutely has to be a part of any trade proposal for Rick Nash?
-Erin
A: Erin – No, I don’t think the Blue Jackets are 100 percent locked on acquiring a goalie as part of the deal. Columbus wants at least four pieces, but seem willing to consider all options. We believe L.A. Kings goaltender Jonathan Bernier will be included if the Kings manage to get a deal done, while the New York Rangers are more likely to throw in a young forward, young defenceman, a quality prospect and a draft pick to lure the big man. Some teams who believe they are in the mix are growing frustrated because they’re not getting a clear indication from the Blue Jackets as to what it will take to move the process along.
For those who feel that way, perhaps they’re not as close to being in contention for Nash as they might wish. This is such a mammoth trade – in terms of impact on the Blue Jackets and the city of Columbus – and the complexity of establishing Nash’s trade value even to the fortunate few believed to be involved, that time is a huge issue. Ten days may not be enough to swing a deal that will impact this team for years to come.”

DEH Reply:
February 17th, 2012 at 8:07 pm
@Jefreyryan, I don’t really think trading for Nash is a good idea. But if we do and get him we will put ourselves in a tough situation when it comes to resigning Quick. If Bernier is included in that trade to get Nash then we have an even tougher situation. All I’m saying is if you’re dead set on getting Nash then trade Quick to get him and other pieces maybe b/c you’re not going to afford to resign him. Nash carries a 7.8 mil caphit for a few years. That is more than Stamkos, last I checked Stamkos puts up better numbers than Nash has ever put up. Nash would be good if his cap hit was around 6 – 6.5 mil. Kopitar puts up more points and Nash costs a full 1 million more on the cap.

@Steevogt, The point of putting Penner in a deal, is that it makes the caps space for the Kings this season, and since his contract is expiring, it gives the team we trade him to cap space in the future. Any deal we do with CBJ for either Carter or Nash probably includes Penner, to give us the cap space to put the players we trade for on the roster, because if we trade only young NHL talent, AHL prospects and draft choices, then we haven’t traded much salary away, and would be over the cap. That’s why some people keep mentioning JJ when they talk about trade rumors, because he has a hefty salary, and would allow us to take on some salary this season. DL can also get some cap relief for the end of the season, by putting gagne on long term IR, but then he is out until training camp, even if he miraculously recovers his health.

@King Cobra, look Doughty’s point numbers year in and year out are not that far off from Weber if not better, playing is Nashville’s system he would have way more goals and more assists. This year they’re not that good but still alright for a D-man, then again find me a player on the kings (besides Kopitar) that has good point numbers. All I’m saying if we trade for Nash I’d give it a week before we bash him for being an overpaid under performing slouch. Last time we made a desperate trade for a winger mid season we ended up with Penner. Remember last year, Penner’s number’s were actually better than Nash’s numbers now at the time of the trade.

He is 22 and will still be in the league a dozen years from now. DL is the guy at fault for the holdout, A he gave doughty what he and his agent wanted in the end, B after trading for Mike Richards, they still wasted time making an offer for Brad Richards, before they got Doughty”s deal done! In fact although JJ worked out a good deal for himself and the Kings, and DD was RFA DL needed to do DD’s deal ahead of JJ’s. When the season ended last year the most important thing DL had to do was get DD signed, and he failed to do it on time, that as much as anything else that DL did or didn’t do, cost TM his job!

Cut DD some slack – his game is coming around.

@Steven H Brown, Married or not it has nothing to do with being traded.
At times the teams will ask guys who they prefer to be traded to, but Stoll wouldn’t be one of those guys.
Gretzky, Nash yes, Stoll no….

The only thing Stoll is worried about is his hair and what Polo shirt he is going to wear tonight.

@Harty, I would love to see that but I doubt Columbus will take both Penner and Stoll, still think JJ has to be involved to get it done. Which is alright by me, he basically lost the last game for us anyways!

I almost would rather DL didn’t panic and make a trade. He’s going to. Because if this team fails to make the playoffs, he’s done. And if they’re out in the first. He’s done.
So he might do a high-risk trade, just to keep his job. And if it doesn’t pan out, the team might be even worse off.
