Both Doughty and Kopitar have been lights out this season. They won't be winning any individual awards though. It'll be Bergeron and Karlsson.

I hope Kopitar is truly day-to-day.
 
Don't forget, 4 of the 7 road goals came against the Coyotes. The home goal? Take a wild guess. Of the other 3 goals, we're talking the 9th of 9 goals in a 9-2 win against Boston, the 5th of 5 goals in a 5-2 win against Edmonton, and then a PS goal in a 4-3 loss to Carolina.

To get the most out of Brown, other than playing Arizona all the time, he almost has to play with Kopitar. Despite any limitations that Brown may have. I'd say or Carter too, but I can't remember the last time Carter and Brown played together, if they even have. I don't know how much Brown gives you on a 3rd line with a 35 year old Lecavalier.

Is there another team where the player that leads the team in shots on net can't score with any regularity? Voracek leads the Flyers, has only 10 goals, but he has 47 points.

I've never understood the desire to split up Brown and Kopitar. The two have always seemed to have chemistry together and especially Brown has always seemed to play better next to Kopitar.
 
You guys think a King is going to win an individual trophy? That's cute. Hell, I'm surprised the NHL didn't find a way to give the Conn Smythe to the opposition in 2012 and 2014.
 
I think the added minutes is really affecting his performance. He's been struggling quite a bit of late. Probably doesn't help that he's also been playing with Luke Schenn.

Yeah Marty getting 25 minutes is bad. Love the guy, but that's asking for trouble.

If he doesn't win it, I guarantee you the dummies in the East will be voting for Bergeron in droves. I'm calling it for Bergeron this year.

Bergeron has a very good case for it but it should be up in the air between him and Kopi and ROR is JUST behind. Would be nice if Bergeron and ROR ate each other's votes like the west did in last year's Norris race but I suspect we'll be seeing all east coast awards down the docket.
 
****ing forbort injured Kempe.

So does that mean Kempe cannot be traded?
Which is not necessarily a bad thing, but assume that Gaborik is going to LTIR, and Kings are looking at Ladd, Kempe might be the guy going back.

You can trade injured players..If LA is dealing Kempe I don't want it for a UFA, and especially for a UFA LW.
I really like Ladd but it has been reported he has turned down 6x6 with the jets. So he would be a pure rental. Also Friedman said on the fan the jets have already received a proposal of a 1st + prospect. So let someone else pay that.
If Kempe is moved I want it to be for defensive help (non rental) or to get out of a bad contract come this off season.
 
2 2nds and torres for Polak and spalding wow :O . Uncle lou did Dean a favour and bent sj over

As funny as this is, you know it's just going to encourage the rabid Leaf fans (not that the whole fan base is rabid, can read that more then one way :)) and their over-inflated prices on what they think their players are worth.
 
According to leaf fans polak was worth a late first and spaling a 2nd. So they didn't get the fortune some thought they would
I think it was a fair price on both sides.

I can't I am typing this but I had some leafs fans agreeing to a 3rd before we got Luke Not all Leaf fans are ridiculous all most fit in that category:nod:

for sure. have said it before that all fan bases have some bad posters. The leafs have the biggest fan base therefore they have the most bad posters.

Doesn't make them all bad, but the bad ones tend to stand out.
 
if POLAK is 2 2nds, then Yandle is gonna cost a crapton more. Ie, more than we could ever pay.

Not good. Cause McNabb is still not gonna cut it for the playoffs.

I think the additional 2nd was balanced out by TO paying for Torres as well as towards Spaling though.

I still have zero belief the rangers will deal yandle..they are a team that has a chance to come out of the East. If anything they should be in the buyers camp

Well, not with that attitude. :)

Markov is still out there...

J. Schultz is RHD and would be cheap too!
 
What D are left out there that the Kings could possibly get without giving up a current player in our lineup?

2nd round picks 1 and 2 years from now. That changes their value.

Patrick Wiercioch (OTT), Kris Russell (CAL), Ryan Murphy (CAR), Evgeni Medvedev (PHI), Kevan Miller (BOS and a local kid), Justin Schultz (EDM). nothing to get too excited about all projects like Schenn just with less upside.
