2017 Offseason Thread: Changes Incoming 2.0

[KINGS17]

Brisson is a tough negotiator, but he's not an ass like some other agents. He understands value and knows what is fair for his players. Not sweating a terrible deal for the Kings here.

We want Blake to be a tough, but fair negotiator. So far, so good with the Pearson deal.

 

[Stimpythecat]

Not sure I'd like just a 2 year deal for Toffoli. That would mean his contract is up at the same time Doughty's is. That could be good or bad. I'd have to think about what would increase the chances of Doughty sticking around.

 

[Little Psycho]

Working out how and how long?

Pretty generic statement. At this point walking to his car might be considered a workout.

Hope he doesn't hurt himself getting into his sports car

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Toffoli should've been signed 2 years ago on a long term deal. Should've been signed to a 5 year $4.5 million deal then.

I agree,

Advocated for this, you get Toffoli locked up for all of his prime production years.

 

[Kings4thecup]

So can LA protect TT in the Expansion Draft if he isn't signed? Dangerous game if not. Hate to see LV sign him to 7x7 and he's gone for nothing.

You can protect anyone. RFA's, UFA's, whoever. So yes, they will protect Toffoli.

 

[Peter James Bond II]

I would straight up ask Brisson if TT is worth 2.25 million more than Pearson.
He's not, period.

 

[Kings4thecup]

You can protect anyone. RFA's, UFA's, whoever. So yes, they will protect Toffoli.

Thanks, that makes sense. It would be nice to see LV sign Jarome Iginla on the 18th.....

In pseudo TT news
Guy at work saw him buying furniture (last week ish)
So maybe that is a good sign

 

[Reclamation Project]

Depends how expensive it is.

 

[KingCanadain1976]

[SlimCharles]

when is the draft ? june 23 first round rest on 24?

[KingCanadain1976]

Yes, also the draft starts at 4PM pacific.

good ill still be on the coast for it I don't head home till sunday the 25th

 

[SlimCharles]

Any chance we go after Giorgio Estephan?

 

[kingsfan28]

Gaborik is on Instagram claiming he's working out twice a day.

He'll probably drop a weight on his foot, and add another 20 games missed to start the season.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Depends how expensive it is.

It was a really big couch.

Toffoli did get engaged recently and gave her a big rock...

 

[Reclamation Project]

I see.

 

[kingsholygrail]

I'm such a nerd for this sport. Already planning on how I'm going to watch the draft and ****.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I'll actually be in Vegas the week of the expansion draft/award show, though I'm forced to be there for reasons beyond my control. Hoping to run across some drunk NHLers and execs while I'm there.

You can head down to the pool if you need a bump.

Toffoli is going no where unless he absolutely doesn't budge off $6 million. This is how negotiations go. Toffoli starts high, Kings start low. They'll meet somewhere in the middle. He wants to be here. Kings want him here. It'll get done. It's only June 1. Still have 3 months before we really have to start worrying.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I'll let you all know if Stoll, Richards and Voynov are seen partying, possibly with Grant Fuhr and Kevin Stevens.

 

[Fishhead]

I agree, but if I was Toffoli I certainly wouldn't have signed that kind of deal.
