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

[Lt Dan]

You telling me we couldn't beat a 1st, 2nd & Hagg for Risto!


.

I would be mad if we did

the Phlyers way overpaid there

Guys isn't this a buyers market? What's with the terrible price for Ristolainen?

Bad GM?

Competition and he thought that Risto was THE guy?

He blew his wad too early?

 

[Gjwrams]

I'm flabbergasted at the Risto deal. 13th OA for him AND hagg and a 2nd. Good Lord.

I'm just surprised if that's the best they could do with that package. He has one year left on his contract. Risto sucks from what I remember. Hes just tuff.

Dont get it

But I had a dream Kings traded for Shea Weber lol

 

[tbrown33]

What's crazier is that other teams were offering first rounders for Risto, too. They were just lower first rounders than the Flyers'.

 

[AzKing]

It would be a shrewd move if the Kings could take some short-term bad money to acquire assets/picks today but I am not really counting on it.

Sarcasm doesn't always come out well on type. That's a big price.

Guess all those Sabers fans were right about a 1st+ for Risto.


Is Blake going to jump in on this craziness?

If he is smart , he sits for another day or two and let's people blow their wads. There is some dumb stuff being done

short term. Absolutely. like 2-3 years

 

[LAKings88]

The ask for Reinhart or Eichel must be crazy.

Everything's all over the place. Buchnevich got basically same return as Arvidsson (if you consider Blais and a 3rd rounder a wash, maybe Blais is worth more like a 2nd rounder....maaaaaybe).

 

[Steve Zissou]

I already had the suspicion Kevyn Adams was playing hard ball with the Eichel and Reinhart trades but it keeps getting more and more evident.

I may be assuming here but I think Blake isn't that stupid to get fleeced in a trade like this.

Indeed. Hopefully he learned from Lombardi's post 2014 cup trades

Blake isn't stupid. He's pretty methodical. Everything else in up in the air though at this point.

It is much much easier to just walk away when you don't have the pressure to go for it now.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Quantity is always better. REmember all those prospects we got for Gretz?! At least one was bound to work out... right guys? Guys?

You mean the great P Tardif,C Johnson,R Vopat and 1st rounder that we turned into legend Matt Zultek! Yeah the Kings shit the bed on that deal big time. It was really the beginning of the salary dump

 

[Steve Zissou]

Concur. But, let's not forget how easy it is to try and speed up the rebuild. It's the easy way out and most GM's are guilty of this.

It's pretty evident that even around here fans are in favor of it to acquire a player at the wrong time, even if it means gutting your prospect pool for quicker success.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Blake isn't stupid. He's pretty methodical. Everything else in up in the air though at this point.

Lombardi was drunk half the time when he made the deals he did...OMFG was he ever stupid...Cernak for 10 minutes of Bishop,Pancakes for Klefbom...but then again Blake failed with Kubalik need I say more and Vilardi isn't exactly tearing it up like 2017 pick M Necas is going to be very soon...and Kovie...hopefully he's learned some time lessons there

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

LA doesn't want malcontent Jack-ass r-Eichel

Sometimes stupidity reigns in a Salary Cap world when teams are up against the animal that is 81.5 M Flat Cap

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

It's a sellers market, stay far away

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

This is one of those days where I feel overqualified to be an NHL Gm.

I have no idea what anyone's value around the league is anymore, because batshit stuff is happening all over the place.

Seth Jones isn't worth that contract right now, let alone 6-7 years from now. In what year is Seth Jones dumped to Arizona?

 

[Sleeping Dog]

Could the Flyers gotten the Rasmuses mixed up? Just wait until Risto shows up instead of Dahlin at training camp. Shit’s gonna hit the fan!
