Klingberg has been acquired by LA, and then traded off to Minnesota in yet another three way deal (go figure):
To the Predators:
Kahun
Sandin
2021 1st PP (LA)
To the Kings:
2021 3rd PP (NSH)
John Klingberg
Connor Garland
Ryan Suter
Timothy Liljegren
2021 2nd UFA (MTL)
To the Wild:
John Klingberg
Nazem Kadri
2021 6th UFA (MIN)
2023 5th UFA (LA)
Rationale for LA: Being from Arizona, they're my second team to watch. Garland is the real deal. For a team notorious for dried-up offense, he gets AZ going. Suter is to help offset the cap, but he's no slouch. Assuming Minnesota makes the playoffs, Suter is a great playoff addition (as my keeper D are already in place). I also replenish my prospect cupboard with Liljegren from the loss of Sandin. And, I get a prospect pick in the last round for when Hirose graduates and a UFA pick that will bolster the roster for next year. Ultimately, Garland was the guy I was after. He'll get a pay raise next season but he is worth it when he is the best on his team. He may regress a little from PPG, but this league is all about risk. Kadri and Klingberg were not long term players and made more sense on a true contender like Minnesota.
Thanks for the talks guys! Three way trades are always fun because I chat with multiple GMs!
