2017 Offseason Thread 4.0 - Free Agent Frenzy Time

[KingsFan7824]

We're really setting ourselves up for disappointment around here if Thornton isn't signed.

I've been a Kings fan since 1993 and I don't ever recall us landing the big fish free agent. Everytime it looked like there was a possibility we'd get our hopes up and it would never happen.

Demitra is the biggest free agent signing I can remember us making.

Thornton would be a little different. How many free agents have played on the west coast for a decade+? Usually it's trying to get players to go east to west. If the former teammate thing has any weight, the Kings haven't had that either.

Fwiw..

 

[cyclones22]

I'm definitely in the I'll believe when I see the press conference frame of mind on this. I'm not expecting this to happen at all. We're likely just being played for leverage, but whatever. We'll see.

What's Scott Parse up to these days?

Hanging out with Scott Barney and Bud Holloway

Hanging out with Scott Barney and Bud Holloway

Moller and Ersberg are bringing meatballs.

Frolov is still playing over sea's. He'd be a great pick-up on a cheap 3 year/15M deal imo.

Wraparounds for 5mil per? I think I can taste my breakfast in the back of my throat.

Can Kozun and Azevedo join?

Hmm good point.. 5M seems like a bit much. You think he'll sign cheaper if we gave him 4 years?

 

[Reclamation Project]

He'd be a great pick-up on a cheap 3 year/15M deal

 

[Little Psycho]

There's a Sharks fan that got a pic of Marleau on the plane from SJ to OC. Now that's detective work!

 

[AmadiosAmigos]

Pavel Rosa should ass speed and scoring to the top 6.

Justin Papineau at 3C and Roman Vopat at 4C.

Any thoughts on where Aaron Rome would slot in on D?

No to Aaron Rome, he's done.

Sean O'Donnell on a two year deal please.

You guys are thinking too small. Think of all the pics of him we'll see in loafers and wool sweaters! That's a good of reason to sign him!

 

[Reclamation Project]

He looks 60 years old in that picture.

I honestly can't tell if this is meant to be sarcastic or not.

 

[DAkings20]

I'd take Fukufuji is we can afford him!

 

[Rorschach]

If we bring in Thonton +, our defense down the middle will increase and the pressure will be greatly relieved from our defense. We can stick with our younger dmen like LaDue and play them. We can win 5-3 instead of losing a 3-2 game by a 1-2 score.

I'd prefer Barry Brust or Pauli Jaks.

Signing with the Ducks.

 

[KingsCourt]

Wow.. All these names are making me a little sad... We had so much hope for them

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

The Kings need firepower in the lineup, and there's no better ones than Jeff Shevalier, Keith Redmond, and Brandy Semchuk: the best trio to come from the Phoenix Roadrunners.

Quick
Campbell

Im not really sold on the bottom two pairs. Muzz has a lot to prove after last season and while Ladue looked promising, I'm not sure he can hold his own just yet on the 2nd pair. ditto for Gravel. I expected a lot more from him and was kinda disappointed by what we saw from him thought I'm hopeful he will improve...he needs to use his size to his advantage and not shy away from contact. it will be interesting to see if/how things change with Stevens as the HC
