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

[KINGS17]

Thats not a option,Blake and ownership want playoffs.Their listening to Doughty and Kopi and want theses goals as well.

Maybe Doughty and Kopi should take some of their combined $160M and buy a percentage of the franchise. I am sure Uncle Phil would make them a sweet deal.

Refreshing Twitter every 10 seconds waiting to see a tweet from Friedman saying the Kings are closing in on Sergachev.

Kings been super boring this off season. Sad face. Bet Blake is gonna get a lumbering oaf 7th D man who played in elite league in Botswana

In my opinion Blake and ownership want championship and not playoffs only.
They have vision and patience.
They are not listening to Doughty and Kopitar who do not have vision and patience.

At least we have cap space to brag about

 

[Sol]

If I was a hockey player I wouldn't sign in LA either. Stupidly expensive even if I was rich. And LA is a shit hole IMO. Florida you get the luxuries of LA and affordability.

"yeah our team isn't attractive so HAH"

I have more heart and compete than half the jokers on this team!

I’m expecting 0 moves and 0 trades. Nothing will happen tomorrow.

Make sure your agent gets Blake’s call for 6mil x 3, over pay on term to lower the cap hit.

big sexy in skates

Not one single player even whispered in connection with the team.

Which, tbh, I'm ok with.

We've got our two goalies. Let all the other suck teams play musical chairs with all the suck goalies out there. We'll probably get a 3rd string guy. Grosenick is better for that than most, so maybe him, maybe somebody like Legace. Nobody we'll care much about one way or the other.

Our blueline probably needs a body, but I don't think we want to try and outbid for the Barrie/Hamilton type big guns, the older minute-eaters like Suter don't GAF about us, and there's nobody at the bottom of the pile that interests me. We probably take our Tucker Poolman and shrug. Whatevs, babe.

Forwards pretty much the same. Would love Landeskog, but he don't care. Everyone else available is too old, is only re-signing with their current team, scored 25 points last season, or any combination of the above. I'm definitely content to stand pat here and let one of our umpteen bazillion forward prospects seize a job in camp and refuse to let it go.

HF started a discord which is more of a chat than a messageboard.
We just earned a kings channel for having 5 people come join us. Come join us

It's a great alternative for when HF crashes

If you have a plan, stick to it. If you don't want to give more than 2 or 3 years, then just go with a similar roster from last year and call it a day.

 

[Schmooley]

Wonder how Doughty reacts if the Kings dont make any moves. Arvidsson was a nice pickup but doesnt move the needle much.
When I saw the cheap seasons tickets package it made me think they are not bringing in any high salary stars.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Doughty doesn’t manage the team, I don’t care what he thinks.

 

[Gjwrams]

Big splash....Would any of you trade FOUR 1st round assets for a Chychrun. Example. 2022 1st round, Turcotte, Kupari/Madden and Bjornfort?

Because I think this is the type of deal Rob is looking to make. They want to make a big play on an elite player. I feel that is part of the reason the QO for AA came on late, because it's another asset they can trade or replace an asset they have to move.

Chychrun
Wrenski
Sergachov

These are that cats I am looking at.

all that said....it take two teams to tango and it MIGHT take FOUR 1st round assets to do it.......are you willing to do it?

 

[KingsCourt]

Maybe I'm just impatient, but I thought we'd do something this year. Players being traded like buchnevic, garland, Dillon, ghost, Schmidt... All players that fit what we need and yet we just keep petting our picks and cap space. It was 7 years since the last cup and have won a total of 1 playoff game since, tried of this same old shit! We have a window here where we cap space and youngsters coming in, let's help them by getting good players to support them!
Let's f'n go!!!

 

[DapperDan]

The way I see it... Let all these other teams blow their wad on the shiny toy and the Kings can swoop in and get a couple value adds at favorable economics. My personal wish list (that a few others have largely echoed already):

Brandon Saad under 5m over 3-4yrs max
One of Ryan Murray or Jake McCabe under 3.5m over 2-3yrs max

If they don't land a single FA, that's okay too. 2022 FAs are way more intriguing in my opinion.

Maybe they'll when they both retire.

I am with you just for using their term "cats"
You could pretty much start a cult and I would join at this point

Obviously Blake does..

It's not even worth thinking about.

What do you mean?

 

[deaderhead28]

They are not listening to Doughty and Kopitar who do not have vision and patience.

Blake already said they want to make the playoffs as their goal...Blake already came out and agreed with both Doughty and Kopitars statements on improving the team this season.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I mean looking at the stupid suitcases full of money and assets the other teams are throwing around in a tight cap environment...i'm 1. Glad Blake isn't partaking and 2. realizing that Blake is in an even BETTER spot tomorrow, at the deadline, and next offseason with a house full of degenerate gamblers looking for their next big score.

Yeah, I would rather bring in some dogs.
