I totally expect fanbases to overvalue their own, everyone does it. But man, some of those are hilarious.

Take it as a compliment that the Kings, for once, have a prospect in the pipeline that everyone wants.

3 prospects actually

Gabe Vilardi
Kale Clague
Michael Amadio

Lol... Shaw..

I personally like the "empty the pipeline" one which was Pacioretty and a 5th (lol) for Vilardi, Clauge, Amadio, 1st, 2nd.

I almost punched my computer screen when I read that stupidity.....

 

[kings11]

There was one MTL fan who said they were dreaming and stated that the best they could get for MaxPac was Amadio and a 4th... But he was very quickly run out of town.....

Reminds when a friend I gamed with would get pissed off at the rest of the people playing and would scream that they make him want to punch babies.

 

[LAKings88]

Trade deadline options look pretty pathetic.

LOL at the Patches deal.

Really hoping Blake just stays put.

Roll with Carter.

 

[johnjm22]

Instead of buying, I think we should try and move a few guys for draft picks. Guys who losing won't hurt the current team too much.

Shore, Kuemper, and possibly Martinez come to mind.

Amadio makes shore expendable IMO. Kuemper's numbers will never be better than they are right now, if you can move him for a mid round pick and a depth goalie you do it. I think Martinez has better value than most people around here think, but you only move him if the return is good.

 

[kingsboy11]

Not sure what this guy is smoking, but if the Kings trade Vilardi, then Blake and Luc should be fired.

Montreal Canadiens trade target: Gabriel Vilardi and a Kings ransom

With how few solid dmen there are out there it might be a good time to assess the market for Amart. Creates a big hole on d tho.

Don’t think LAs spare parts have much value.

 

[Stimpythecat]

Kuemper might.

But I only would consider moving him if Campbell is ready. We're going to lose Kuemper anyway so if we don't lose any production by subbing in Campbell, then that is a trade we could do.

34 consecutive NHL games. That is the number of games in a row Adrian Kempe has not had a primary assist as a 2C in the NHL. Kempe is not a center. He's a shoot first, ask questions later kind of guy. Mind you, it's not really his fault. He has been forced there by circumstance and injury. You have to wonder just how long the Kings keep this experiment up with Carts coming back and Vilardi and Amadio in the very soon to be pipeline. NHL centers in scoring roles have to make players around them better. Kempe is a fine player, and will make an excellent left wing with a good passing center that can lead him on the fly. This is without even discussing the his abysmal face off abilities, a whole different topic. Yes, the open ice helps his game, but he sooner the Kings put him in his rightful position, the sooner the Kings as a team will flourish. Pearson and Toffoli are anxiously awaiting Carts arrival.

The article writer put a lot of effort to write a terribly one-sided and ridiculous article.

I feel like Kempe could fill a top six role on LW once Carter returns. Iafallo can fill a bottom six role and provide secondary scoring there, and Kempe can fly down the wing with Kopitar or Carter centering him.

 

[Stimpythecat]

If Kempe or Pearson could play RW, then putting them together with Carter... That line would fly.

Kempe did play some RW at the WJC a few years back, and tore it up.

Wasn't it a few years ago Carter was going for the cy young.

I’ve said this for literal months. Kempe is not an NHL caliber C. Period.

His absolute ceiling is a 30-25-55 top six wing.

 

[kingsfan28]

LOL, of course that's from a Montreal blogger.

I hope he got paid by the word. Although, the only thing that make sense in his proposal is taking on Gaboriks contact as part of any deal.

That's the deal you make for Karlsson, but throw in Gabby.

Ive been saying that we could get a 1st for Amart..(consider that JMFJ is likely going for that)
Kuemper could land us a 3rd...
Or just say Effe it and try to pry Skinner/Faulk from Carolina lol.... pipe dream i know
