GDT: 2022-23 season game 10 LA Kings vs Toronto Maple Leafs @4:00pm 10/29/22

I smell a trade coming

Walker most likely.

 

[AbsentMojo]

Byfield has never looked fantastic. He needs to play every day in Ontario.

I agree - I was previously in the camp to let him iron this all out at the NHL level.. but esp since we have Kupari available that can play center or wing, that seems to have developed a decent game with some physicallity, id rather let QB chill in Ontario at this point.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

How tf are we going to resign Gabe Vilardi.

Its going to take some maneuvering. Could see some guys heading out of town

 

[YAYSAY]

Totally agree, but a year in Ontario and a healthy offseason did wonders for Vilardi. Kupari looks just fine at 3C. Let Byfield go develop a ton of chemistry with Turcotte with the Reign.

Only problem is even if he comes back and looks good, where does he slot in? Kupari is an NHL ready player, he does have experience with wing but he works well as a center too

I guess its a good thing to have is depth

Durzi with how not to play Defence on that last goal. Failed to clear them lost his man

Durzi will never get better on defense. Never!!!

How tf are we going to resign Gabe Vilardi.

leave a brown paper bag in his locker and give him a kevin labanc contract til kopi/RV/etc contracts clear

 

[kinghock]

He's older, he's NHL ready, he SHOULD look better

That being said he gets Fiala and Grundstrom as linemates, Byfield looked fantastic too when it was Iafallo and Vilardi rather than JAD and Kaliyev.

It's almost like insulating kids with strong vets and high-skill players instead of 'what's left' helps.

Grundstrom should not play on third line

 

[HookKing]

Anyone that thinks RV is going anywhere else is totally delusional.

 

[AbsentMojo]

Durzi will never get better on defense. Never!!!

If you keep Clarke you move Durzi asap.. he can be a Martinez type player 3rd pair PP1 or 2 - but Kings have enough skill on the right side. We dont need him..

I think Kupari is even more effective on wing, but I think that’s a problem for next year. Maybe everyone else’s eyes are seeing different things but Kaliyev and Byfield look weak and deferential to me whereas Vilardi looks strong and assertive, linemates be damned.

 

[deaderhead28]

Clarke isn't being traded.I be shocked if Durzi gets traded, it will be Walker is my guess.

 

[Ryan120420]

Clarke isn't being traded.

No, but someone else might to make room for him.

 

[deaderhead28]

No, but someone else might to make room for him.

Walker

 

[unicornpig]

kupari definetly looks better than JAD, shame theres jsut a log jam.

 

[Mcsorley47]

Just feeling Gabe’s hitting 30 goals this year.

 

[deaderhead28]

Drew with 16 minutes of ice time.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Fiala!

 

[deaderhead28]

Goal Kings

 

[tny760]

sandin probably feeling about 2 inches tall right now

brutal

 

[GKJ]

I like how this is looking here

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

What a great play by Fiala

 

[kingsboy11]

Awesome play by Fiala. now f***ing lock down this game

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Fiala just made Sandin look like a fool.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

That's my boy Fiala. Great stick check and shot,goal
