GDT: 2023-24 season game 26 LA Kings vs Winnipeg Jets @7:30pm 12/13/23

[Sol]

We gave up the best player of the rebuild for PLD and gave him a max contract.

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

Blake has to be feeling like a complete dumbass right about now

Not with his ego

 

[Jungle Boy]

uggh yes another concussion where he barely got off the ice

Let me guess: dirty play by a ahler goon?

The $8.5m for a guy who has effort issues sure is baffling.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Kings would be lucky to get a bag of pucks back for PLD

OK a bag of pucks,still I had to ask

 

[VILARGOD]

I'm sure the board will be fun place to be until our next game saturday

 

[Nasti]

Could end up being the worst trade in team history if this continues.

 

[AbsentMojo]

it was a needless/ dirty shoulder to head hit.. ref incorrectly called it elbowing... Ill see if i can dig up the vid

 

[bouncesonly]

Gabe only got a 6.8 mil 2 year extension from Winnipeg? And Kings sign PLD for 8.5?

 

[bland]

I hope Vilardi goes full Sittler tonight.

Underline the stupid, stupid mistake.

a guy who cant stay healthy you mean? PLD will outscore him by a wide margin in the end

 

[ru4reals]

Isn't Turcotte injured again?

Yes he is, but what I'm saying is he should be in JAD's position and playing in the NHL not getting smacked around in the AHL.

He won't. I'd guarantee it. I don't think I've seen a less interested hockey player on this team.

 

[Sol]

Yup. And I have no issue saying that Vilardi was the best player of the draft, Byfield included. I can’t imagine why we gave that guy up for a loser with effort issues in PLD

 

[unicornpig]

Vilardi taking a shit on TM and Blake

 

[tny760]

if you're ever gonna convert one, it f***in better be this one

 

[Sol]

Even with Vilardi missing time he will out produce PLD who’s playing and is doing nothing.

 

[Kudelski37]

Kings would be lucky to get a bag of pucks back for PLD

That is with max retention.

$8.5m a year are usually reserved for yearly all star players. Not guys struggling to score 60 points a season who don't do anything else. I can't imagine many teams would even think of offering him that much.

 

[jgs]

Well maybe something good will come from this very ignorant and stupid trade. Rob and Luc get FIRED!

 

[SherVaughn30]

Caps and Carbery exposed the Kings/TMac's weakness. Line match-ups and being physical.

Yup, he’s gonna be a buyout topic by next year

 

[tny760]

man i ain't even mad about losing this one with those ehlers snipes but they're getting clean outworked by a team on a b2b

unacceptable

He had 2 points in six games since coming back. He'll go back to another 2 in 6 after tonight. He was ready for this game so be it. I'm getting a little concerned with PLD I'm going to wait a bit longer before taking out the whipping stick.

PLD sucks.
