LAK/NYR

[Kings GM]

To LAK: Matthew Tkachuk (81) + NSH 1st 2024 + Calum Ritchie (75)

Vs

To NYR: Martin Necas (67) + Maxwell Gildon (86)

If Ritchie boost:
LA gives LA 2nd 2025 and LA 2nd 2026

Accepted.

Gildon is du to a raise and i try to move a d-man to make room for Clarke. Tkachuk is a player a i want for long time now, like the upgrade physically i get over Necas. If Ritchie boost, i’ll have a nice Young prospect. Also i get a much needed cap space!

NYR accepts. The rebuild of the defense hits another high note with the addition of Gildon. It is a bit of a spicy raise, but its still RFA raise and not full UFA cost. Two legit top D now on the Rangers after 3 years of....none. Necas is a fine Tkachuk replacement for the cost, he's about 600K cheaper to resign and still very good. LA needed the cap space so I give up futures. Ritchie could be very good, but if doesn't boost, its AHL fodder. If he does, he's a big DEF, hard hitting player, of which I have a few. And in that event I get 2 2nds, which I find very fair to even that portion out. Gildon is the real take here for me.

Thanks for the deal Hugo, Tkachuk rocks, enjoy.

I'm going to enter this trade as-is but there will not be any more trades based on player boosting after this as it is unrealistic (in fact, I posted this before but just never got around to writing the rule until now).

Ritchie showed up to camp in fantastic shape so NYR gets the picks.
