Hey folks,

Just dropping by to say thank you for those who have shared their thoughts on the Jets Board - classy, informative and funny as usual.

It sucks that PLD wanted out, but hopefully you get his best play for the majority of his Contract & this ends up being a good deal for both Teams.

Enjoy your Summer with your families,

Cheers

Bowel movement?

not confirmed per league sources.

However, I just came back from Punta Cana and it’s been a non stop trip to the shitter.

 

[KingsHockey24]

This is reminding me of the Tkachuk trade.

Everyone thought Florida was bent over and look what happened. The team that got the best player won.

I'm expecting an 80 point / 100+++ PIM season from PLD.

Just got off work; I miss anything today?

Yeah this news of the trade was NSFW the way Blake got worked over.

 

[DoktorJeep]

This has to be the second best center depth since Stumpel, Smokinski and Belanger. I can totally see us finally beating the Red Wings, errrrr Oilers in the first round.

What happened to Luc? He looks frail and bleached his hair.

Running the Kings is like being President of the United States, it ages you a lot.

Lombardi aged about 25 years in the 11 he was here.

Honestly, its probably the best center depth since Kopitar, Carter, Stoll, Richards.

 

[Steve Zissou]

Yes, there’s been movement on the Zack MacEwen front.

Underrated post.

I think we’re saying the same thing

The guy is very committed to the Black & Silver.

After continuing my day and napping. Just waking up. I finally have a clear decisive thought.

This trade wack.

 

[Stimpythecat]

I am just a little upset.

 

[jgs]

Well 4.5 mill left in cap space isn't very much with only what 16 players under contract and they need to sign another goaltender. Not going to get a good one for under a million. Blake better be praying that Copley continues to play at a high level because if he doesn't it won't matter how strong the Kings are in the center position

 

[kylbaz]

He won't think those PIMs are that cool when he watches him take so many stupid penalties.
Nonetheless, when PLD plays he can take a game over. Look at game one of the playoffs he dominated and Jets took over. Unfortunately after that you didn't see him much out there.

It sucks even more because they may still have to move Moore or Arvidsson. Thats essentially moving 5 assets for PLD + maybe a pick.

If Blake can work a miracle and keep the current forward group, it looks like an improved team from last season.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Islander fans are saying Semyon Varalamov is looking for a 2 year/ 2.5 AAV type of deal.

Doable.

You think QB is completely cooked. I think we all agree Turcotte and Kupari aren’t the answer at scoring line center.

If Kopitar either retires or falls off what is our center situation going to look like next season (fall off) or in the future (retirement)?

Who is going to center all these wingers that you want to keep?

If Kopitar retires when his contract ends here what does our center depth look like?

This is exactly why not trading for Eichel was Blake’s biggest mistake as GM. The center issue was always going to be a thing as Kopitar got older. Now because he passed on a much better player 2 years ago (for probably a similar cost), he is now forced to trade for someone not nearly as good and pay him similarly.

Kings fans would rather argue about Blake than be in the middle of whatever is you and Habs fans have with PLD. Don't drag us into that cowplop.

K thanx bye!

Bullshit

 

[Herby]

Bullshit

What is bullshit?

Did Blake not trade a similar package to what Vegas did for Eichel for a much lesser player?

Did the Kings not have long-term or even short-term C issues before this trade, depending on what Kopi does?

You think PLD is an Eichel caliber player? I like the guy way more than most here do, but that would be a ridiculous take.

Maybe, but you are looking back 2-3 years later, knowing Eichel came through a never done before surgery with flying colors,

How good would Vegas have looked, if there was complications?

Uhh what

"But guys, what could possibly go wrong with acquiring ALL the skilled forwards on one team and mortgaging the future while skimping on goaltending?"

*looks around nervously after checking where the 2003-04 Colorado Avalanche finished...

 

[kings11]

Now trade Lizotte!!!!

Toby, Clarke, Spence on the backend added.

JAD/Fagemo/Chromiak added to the F corps.

If you trade Arvidsson, Lizotte and Tonka as a package you’ll get a better return than Toffoli..
Bjugstad > Lizotte
Any goalie > than the #1 we don’t have lol
You can sign all the RFA’s and still sign a tough guy or two… I’d still take Kassian on this team

Byfield - Kopitar - Kempe
Fiala - Dubois - Kaliyev
Moore - Danault - Fagemo/JAD
JAD/Fagemo - Bjugstad - Kassian

Anderson - Doughty
Gavrikov - Clarke
Bjornfot/Spence - Roy

Vladar/F.Anderson/Varlamov/Jarry/Korpi
Copley
