Rumor: 2018-19 Kings News/Rumors/Tidbits

[DryIslandBartender]

welcome back Simmonds!

We can’t afford Wayne.

 

[funky]

Guessing Simmonds. Have to keep Drew happy.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

He has 61 PIMS in 7 games.

I'm thinking he's attempting murder every time he plays.

I'd watch a game again if they called up MacD.

Damn, we're actually playing more righties. Imagine my shock

LOL you think he's gonna play?

He might draw a game, then make a mistake, then back to the AHL for a decade. Can't upset that 5 LHD balance. I bet they're finding a way right now to at least put Doughty on the wrong side so they can pretend he's LHD.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Trade for Simmonds and Richardson and reunite the Clifford/Richardson/Simmonds line.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Y’know what’ll sell more tickets? Stupid ads that make no sense.

Who is in charge of marketing?

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Who is in charge of marketing?

Or who made the call to hire whichever ad agency is responsible for that crap? Serious hockey, this is not.

 

[Bandit]

Who is in charge of marketing?

Stacia, it would seem.

 

[redcard]

They're trying to make commercials that invoke the same response as the product on the ice:

The f*** is this?

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Simmonds? Seriously? That's just what this team needs, a 30 year old who is going to want big money and long term. Clinging to the past is exactly the mindset that got the Kings into this mess

 

[Herby]

The players who are going to turn around Kings are teenagers playing junior or college hockey, not a 30 year old looking for a last big payday.

R-E-B-U-I-L-D

 

[Herby]

Trade for Simmonds and Richardson and reunite the Clifford/Richardson/Simmonds line.

The 2011 playoffs. When we still had hope for Clifford. Pinnacle of his career.

 

[Johnny Utah]

I love Wayne Simmonds, but he is 30.

Do we need another over 30 forward?

 

[SFKingshomer]

Walker being recalled shows you how much faith Stevens has in LaDue.

 

[KINGS17]

Stacia, it would seem.

She is definitely the brains of the operation.

 

[KINGS17]

I like Wayne Simmonds, but it wouldn't be a very smart move on Blake's part to acquire him. He is on the final year of his deal, so would only be a rental and what would Blake have to give up to get him keeping in mind Hextall and Lombardi know our prospects very well.

Does age matter when you have 26 year old's like Toffoli and Pearson doing nothing.

Sure Simmonds is 30, but he's got 6 goals in 8 games.

 

[DoktorJeep]

The time to rebuild is apparent now. Good news is that it can be a 2 to 3 year process ala Boston and Pittsburgh.

You keep Kopitar, Doughty, Brown, Kovalchuk and Quick.

Carter, Toffoli, Pearson, Lewis, Muzzin, Martinez, Forbort and Phaneuf get moved for futures with salary retained and /or expiring contracts coming back.

Let Thompson walk at the end of the season.

Play the kids.

Fire Stevens and his staff at the end of the season and hire Team Sweden’s coach.

Draft like a mofo

Sign Panarin

Convince Clifford to retire by promising a $300k / yr job as Matt Greene’s chauffeur after the ltir insurance runs out

 

[Sol]

welcome back Simmonds!

Every time I see this comment it makes me die.

Well if we're going for Hughes we might as well have some fan favorites on the team.

We can bring back Lubo as well. He's probably better than half our D-core anyways.

The unexplainable boner people have for Simmonds is so crazy.

But I dig the Lubo idea. We haven't had a player with his shot since he left the team. Hopefully he can put Doughty in the net and fire shots at him

So he'd score 1 in 20 here?

Yeah I was going to make the same comment.

R-E-B-U-I-L-D

That and Kings will never land a promising UFA unless we massively overpay.

Better strategy to sell tickets would be to win games.
