Speculation: 2021-22 LA Kings News, Rumors, Roster discussion part III

[Reaper45]

Age isn’t on his side but I’m not sure he’s declining. Still averaging close to a point a game and it’s more impressive considering his HC is a f***stick.

The problem is who wants to or can even take on that much term with a flat cap? He’s gonna be cheap.

 

[Reaper45]

Glad that Brickley's father got to see him play with us before he passed. Too bad he couldn't cement a spot. Also a little bummed about Luff. Stothers was high on him and at first blush he seemed like he might be able to snipe some goals but in the end, just another Scott Barney without the bad back.

I feel like Luff could still eek out a career in the league. He can score I just think he’s gonna need to be in the right situation.

Possibly but I feel like to be that one dimensional he’d already have to be showing a lot more in that dimension than he has.

 

[King'sPawn]

I don't have minions.

You have people who respect your work though. I know we disagree but I commend the work you've done. And the effort you put in to get you where you are.

Not all appreciate the work put in. Screw them.

He's on a similar level to Jonny Brodzinski. He's better than him, but very similar playstyles, in my mind.

You’re the first member of the Maynard street team!

The funny part is, I couldn’t do a blog or a podcast to save my life. I’m not even mad at the mayor or Cohen or whoever. It’s just so much fun messing with their minions. When one of them comes out and says “the mayor is killing it you guys”…I just HAVE to make fun of them. I can’t help it.

I feel the same about the whining jabronis
always crying about The Mayor.Their panties all in a wad over someone posting hockey related articles. I worry about some of them and provided earlier some places they could get therapy services dealing with posts from the Mayor.Mental help is a serious matter in 2021.Community centers, hospitals, schools, and places of worship sometimes offer free or low-cost counseling,just in case someone is interested or know someone with this disability.

I’ll bet he likes you the BEST. Maybe he’ll mention you on his pod blog!

Shane O'Brien today still thinks the Kings are the frontrunners for Eichel and will get him. Kings obviously have the best prospects and most picks to get it done. I just don’t see Anaheim having the balls to make that move. It would be a bit ironic if the Kings draft a center and then deal one in this deal. Whether anyone wants to admit it the Kings to me really are the only team that can absorb this and somewhat comfortably make this move. We’re stacked with center prospects, have tons of picks, have cap space, Kopitar will be up for a discount in the next couple years and will hopefully be our 3C at that point, etc. We can make the deal without gutting the whole system like some other teams like Minnesota or Vegas. Regardless I don’t see a deal happening for at least another month.

If he's healthy, I couldn't be more on board. Top ten scoring centers don't come along often, especially not at his age. In two years, having Eichel / Byfield / Kopitar down the middle will be something special. Shift Turcotte or Vilardi to wing (assuming we don't trade both). If a deal for Eichel looks something like 8th, Turcotte, Kupari, Clague, and Walker, I'm here for it.

Agreed. It would have to be with some sort of retention. He can still play though.

I’d take him depending on the cost of course.

Seconded!!!

Seems to me that if this Eichel trade is gonna happen, it'll happen before the Kings' 8th overall pick is made. If the trade talks are serious, Kevyn Adams and Rob Blake will already have gamed this out. No way something this big happens on a whim. We can all put this to bed soon.

You should get a few . They are cute little goggle wearing motherf***ers who provide comic relief

I had no idea the Mayor hurt you as deeply as he did.We as a group support you in your struggles to deal with your past,Maybe I can get you a personalized signed King Of The Podcast poster by John Hoven and Dennis Bernstein to help with the scars that you still to this day manage to live with.Maybe we can just knockout a paternity test as well to settle that question as well.

This is why I didn't understand how people were freaking out about the Kraken not selecting him or Ghost from the Flyers. Cap space has become the most valuable asset in the league, especially with the flat cap likely sticking around for a few years. Why would the Kraken take on 8.25mm for free? We saw that Ghost and his much smaller contract cost a 2nd to move.

Draft Day....

 

[Maynard]

That would great,maybe he can announce the results of your patrinity test

I appreciate you repeating your same unfunny post. BTW what’s patrinity? Are you sure that’s the word you want to use here?

 

[bland]

Enough with the Mayor bickering, children

It's possible and it would be an interesting approach to take by trading for Eichel. I would of course prefer the Kings not include Byfield in the deal, and probably wouldn't do it if he was a "must have" from Buffalo.

Agreed. You like him or don't. If you like him, feel free to ignore those who dunk on him and dunk onbthose who discuss him. If you dislike him, feel free to ignore those that like him or like discussing him. If you're in the middle, cool for being able to see both sides.
