Speculation: 2025 TDL Discussion

[KingsHockey24]

With all the match-up centers on the market I'd say go shop Danault.

We can replace him with a Laughton, Gourde, B. Schenn, Evans, Pageau, Frederic etc.

 

[FSL KINGS]

King's biggest need is a "Star" player. Just a big name to market. Thought Seth Jones & E. Karlsson might be good targets for the media & easy to acquire. Rantanen would fit that. Really hope we don't end up paying Marner a ridiculous amount .

Next biggest need is center depth. Young Byfield, aging Danault & 40 year (rounding) old Kopi isn't making the playoffs next year. King's hanging in the playoffs because Flames & Vancouver are having horrific years. Guessing they are over paying Bennett or a huge offer sheet on Rossi. Outside of that, you're betting on guys like Cozens to become a center or reclamation projects like E. Petterson or Courtier (Philly).

Moore, hopefully he's moved for a checking forward or an expiring contract just to clear the cap space.

Doughty, he no longer belongs on the top pair. Has missed half the year 2 times in the last 4. Not pulling his 11AAV. Dump him anywhere that'll take him before the draft. After re-signing our best D, Gavrikov, there isn't enough cap left to improve the team with Kopi & Doughty not performing up to their cap hits. I like Kopi, but he's aging & unlikely to earn that AAV next year. Not his fault.

Prospects, dump whatever is needed for average vets to continue getting bumped in the first round.

I'm more willing to bet that Ovechkin sat PLD down and told him he wasn't going to take his crap and to straighten up.

Todd getting himself fired for getting in a pissing contest with the GM's big off-season trade is just funny. Job of the coach is to get the most out of the team. Todd failed epically as we can now see PL is a decent top 6 center.

The Caps actually give PLD ice-time.

Something we never did.

For the most part he didn't develop any chemistry with our mix of Fowards...in Washington he has Wilson,Protas and the Great8

I'm already beginning to vomit into my mouth a little when I contemplate the coming trade enshittification that Blake and Luc are planning.

Scary times for Kings fans

Its going to be a great look for the franchise to have traded their 1st rounder at a draft they are hosting in exchange for a rental and missing the playoffs.

 

[KingsOfCali25]

Sell, sell, sell!!! Anyone and everyone is available. Build around Byfield, Turcotte, Clarke, Laferriere and Portillo.

Must sell Moore, Danault, Jeannot, Gavrikov this TDL.

If a good offer comes for Kempe, Fiala, Foegele, Kopitar, Doughty and Anderson then move them too.

Clarke Greentree Carter George and two firsts for two middle sixers inc

 

[shuchukfan]

I'm already resigned to the fact Clarke is gone. Wish Blake would rip the C from his chest, so to speak, and quit on this team again.

Please don't be a buyer.....PLEASE

Blake, you’ve allowed yourself to be in a very bad position, you don’t have the cards right now. Sell sell sell.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Wow. Pearson for Hagelin was the start of the end.

Wow. Pearson for Hagelin was the start of the end.

But you know…..we were lacking speed. That was the sales pitch

This team has been allergic to skill for decades. Want a Ziggy Palffy back.

I know I shouldn't care about this minor irreverent trade, but I can't help it.

This trade gets on my NERVES. It triggers my OCD.

Why are you giving up a draft pick for a player who CLEARY was incapable of playing in the NHL at the time? Did they watch the tape on him? Any amateur hockey fan could've seen this guy was unplayable.

Anyways. I guess it gets on my nerves so much because it's microcosm.

They've made it clear this years isn't play, not with the draft in LA.

Tonight's horrible effort, plus the lack of scoring AGAIN makes it all but certain they're trading for someone who can do it, and do it consistently . 4 goals in 3 games, 1 pp goal in the last 27 attempts has to be addressed.

Wow. Pearson for Hagelin was the start of the end.

Pearson, for those who don't remember, play had fallen off a cliff and he looked terrible , and was traded not once, but twice that season. Carl Hagelin was essentially the same thing, both needing a reset in their careers .
