I mean, Dorofyev is a stud. The price was high, but I don’t think Drury overpaid. We’ll see how everything looks when the dust settles.
7×11 is a BIG contract. This is definitely a retool move. I disagree a little with the thought this is the same team as a few years ago. There’s been enough change…but it’s not necessarily good enough lol.
Been a while!
I’m in on McTavish.
Hoping for one of Malhotra, Carles, Viggo, or Reid tonight.
Tro better get a solid return with how the market seems to be valuing players. Anything less than multiple picks (at least one a first, but maybe two if the second is way in the future) and a player is a bust for me.
What Drury does with the vacated cap is also a factor. I want JRob. JRob, Greentree, cond 3rd for Panarin (and whatever is needed to acquire Robertson) is easier to digest.

I think he could have gotten a better return. Hands tied or not, it’s still Artemi Panarin playing pretty darn close to his prime.
Yeah, but if teams are calling you can build a competitive market (interested parties are blind to other interested parties).
There’s a compounding effect here that’s hard to ignore. Having screwed up so badly last year with the players has forced Drury to over correct. He probably gave Panarin too much leverage, which backed him into a corner with one team. I’m not buying that, at the onset of all this, Panarin said “only the Kings.” If there were other options, Drury had leverage.
I like the prospects for Greentree, but you can’t trade one of the best offensive threats for basically just a good/maybe very good prospect. Does anyone know if he was LA’s best trade chip?
The pattern of Drury getting underwhelming trades is pretty brutal and will likely keep the org on the same path we’ve been on for 32 years.
Part of the problem with Rupp’s take is Panarin already holds the keys to his future. Drury doesn’t lose leverage by making it known he will be traded. If anything, I think it helps build Panarin’s market early, which could lead to a higher return. Of course, that’s the most positive spin I can think of 😉
