I hope letting Lewis walk doesn’t mean the Kings are going to rush some younger players. All the prospects need at least 2 seasons in the AHL. JAD is the only legit forward prospect that has played one full AHL season and he looks like he could use another.
The only forwards that should given a look at Grunstrom and Luff.

I don't think Grunstrom is waiver eligible anymore, so this is it. He's either going to make the lineup or get waived.
Roy is second pairing.
Carter?
I like MacDermid's snarl but he has no business being the regular 3rd pairing guy.

Thank you Trevor Lewis for all that you have done.

Lewis was an unsung hero for us for most his career. Did all the little things right. Didn’t score a ton of goals but scored some big goals at big times
I thank him for what he did to help us to the cups but the writing is on the wall. There are cheaper younger and more skilled options to replace him. We still have leader ship by the spades tied up in our bigger contract players such as Kopitar and Brown and have a boatload of prospects with leadership qualities written all over them.
A playoff contender that needs a little bit of leader ship in the room and someone to lead by example would be smart in picking him up for their bottom line. He’s getting older in age and has lost a step due to injuries but can still contribute if used properly

At least there's nothing to really report on with the Kings lately, even if there were people to report on them. Irrelevant on the ice and in the standings, and fairly boring with player transactions.
I miss the days when they might've even been true.
Change isn't always good.
They have more than enough warm bodies as it is, and there's always another Trevor Lewis on the free agent market, if you want to add a new throwaway vet just for the sake of adding a throwaway vet.

We were right there
Reportedly Washington was interested before, we'll see if he lands somewhere like that.
But he'll be perfect for a large number of teams who have far less success with their bottom six than we have.

I've defended Lewis on here a ton of times, but he actually might not find a home. Couldn't give him away at the trade deadline.
If he has a next stop, it will probably be similar to an Ethan Moreau/Trent Hunter with the Kings experience. Or Stoll after he left?

It was an idea. I didn't say it was a good idea.
He shouldn’t be excited. I will be surprised if he gets signed for more than $1 million a season. If he gets signed at all. PTO more likely.
Hope I'm still around for Trevor Lewis night in 2040 or so.

Luc and Rob are a waste of time and money.
Lewis might want to sign overseas while the NHL is on pause. If he still wants to play in the NHL, he’ll be better off not sitting around.

Lewis strip of the puck against Vancouver in 2012 will always be my fondest memory of him. I know he wasn’t good offensively and probably drafted too high but overall he had a pretty solid career.

It will certainly be the play I always associate him along with the 3rd ppg on the 5 minute major.

So... what was it like getting fired from the suicide hot line?

12 seasons with the Kings, and two Stanley Cups, that's a pretty solid run.
The most surprising thing to me is how Lewis actually ranks 10th all-time in games by a King. I don't know if that's a reflection of how durable Lewis is or how unstable this team has been throughout its history that Trevor Lewis ranks that highly in games played.

Among all 58 17th overall picks in NHL history, Lewis ranks the following:
14th in Games Played
19th in Goals
24th in Points
Sure, he didn't rise up to other 17th overall picks like Parise, Allison, or Clarke, but I'd sure as hell take him over most of the names on this list. Thanks for everything, Trevor.

Yeah he contributed everywhere and is just an incredibly solid human being. Smart, humble, never bitched about his role. He was a big part of those cup teams, came up big in some moments and was always effective. One of the reasons we steamrolled in 11-12 was the penalty kill in the playoffs, over 92%. Lewis was a key player in that. I'm close to 100% that he'll be back in some capacity in a few years.
