Speculation: 2020-21 News/Rumors/Roster Thread Part II

[KINGS17]

Props to Petersen.

What is this "Mean" Gene Okerlund, and a couple of WWF thugs?

 

[Reaper45]

Props to Petersen.

Look at those 2 former Kings and Ivy Leaguers.

Guys, we are paying 30 year old Drew Doughty almost 3 times the cost and 3 times the years that TB just signed 22 year old star Sergachev.
This hurts me in my innerds and my outterds.

Doughty was 8 times the player at that age. Wait to see what Sergachev gets on his next contract before losing your mud.

Side note, do we think 55 is a safe # for Byfield? I wanted to get a Turcotte jersey but his # seems to be all over the place...

I remember him saying he was sticking with 55 - one of his podcast appearances iirc

 

[KINGS17]

Look at those 2 former Kings and Ivy Leaguers.

Welcome to the ring WWF World Champion Tag Team "The Princetons", Kevin "Killer" Westgarth, and George "The Destroyer" Parros!!, along with their manager Donny "The Slimeball who canceled a World Series" Fehr.

Soul on ice have dropped another great podcast. They had Ingham and Dudas on this week, which was good fun with Thomas... these guys are gelling. I’m halfway through the second segment which is a great interview with Brian Burke. One of the better podcasts out there for my money.

 

[kingpest19]

It’s the result of a flat cap though. Take away Covid and he signs for much more and probably for more term. This year is an aberration in terms of contracts.

Not only that but you have to look at their cap space issues as well. All those mid range contracts they handed out are biting them in the a** right now

Don’t forget about all the No Trade Clauses, which Yzerman handed out like candy. He jumps ship and they handcuff the next GM.

Team LA Store is selling Byfield #55 jerseys so probably pretty safe

Probably getting that and my kid the matching Kopi 11. Unless Turcotte picks a number before Christmas, haha.

Just a side note, I believe that's a knock off site.

 

[KopitarFAN]

Just a side note, I believe that's a knock off site.

Yep. According to that site Adler Mannheim and the Sudbury Wolves wear the same uniforms.

Have you ordered from here before? I’m just not sure cuz it says click here to pay with PayPal, then it wants my visa information. That’s not how PayPal works so I’m a little hesitant lol

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

They’re a fake site. Don’t bother purchasing from them, unless you like wearing terrible looking knock offs. That link should be taken down.

Just read this garbage:
ABOUT US,
“NHL Jersey Pro Store is a professional provider of NHL approval.”

Hell, I’m going to contact the NHL about this site and shut them down.

 

[Telos]

There's no way they would let those beauties go for less than a fortune... I am waiting on my retro. It took me a while to decide between Kopitar and Doughty, but am going to be ecstatic when my new Kopi jersey gets here I am ashamed to admit, I don't buy jerseys often due to the cost and the reason I already had many from my youth, but this will be my first Kopitar jersey so I am excited.

GO KINGS GO! JANUARY CAN'T COME ANY SOONER! DROP THE PUCK!

 

[YP44]

It's almost as if RFAs that aren't the best dman on their team are on a different battlefield.

This is more like Voynov signing behind Drew.

Maybe he keeps growing into a #1 dman, maybe he stagnates. You don't know yet. Dude hasn't played a hard minute in his career to this point. I think he's got all the tools, don't get me wrong. But this isn't even close to equitable.

I agree this is more like Voynov than Drew.

I don't know if I will ever love another goalie as much as I do Jonathan Quick

Speaking of Quick...

 

[kilowatt]

Better than no season, excited to see progress.

 

[Stimpythecat]

How time flies with Quick. Lucky to have him at the time we needed him.

8-2. Last time kings scored 8 or more goals was 2016.

 

[Telos]

I remember that game quite well mainly just because of the circus we had with goaltenders and I remember the scoring 8 goals and really liking what I saw from Quick, but at the same time not thinking much of it because of the strong victory and we were just so far down our depth chart at that time. We played seven goalies that year and nearly four of them had double digits games played. All eyes were on Bernier and just to hold on with Barbs until he got there...
