Speculation: All Purpose LA Kings 2013-14 Trade Speculation/Rumors Part IV

[Model62]

Missing the tattoo. What does Voynov get you?

 

[Scottkmlps]

People over reacting to what a rival Olympic player say's about an NHL team mate? Nope, never happened. Everyone, calm down.

 

[CNS]

Anyone thinking the Kings would trade Voynov over this is ****ing insane.

The fact the slowest person on the board realizes this and others don't truly scares me...

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

Anyone wanting to move Voynov is off their rocker. He's a young defenseman having a bad year, not like that ever happens.

He will bounce back next year and be a stud for the next 10 years.

 

[Reaper45]

The more I think about it, and yes I know our d is #1, I think our d needs some retooling. It's just too damn slow.

Build around Doughty, Voynov and Martinez and maybe Greene and go really hard after responsible defensemen who can actually keep up the play. Cut ties with Mitchell and Regehr.


Doughty-XXX
Voynov-XXX
Martinez-Greene?

Maybe I've had too much champagne this morning.

Girardi?
Mark Stuart?

 

[Ollie Weeks]

Edler, Bieksa from Vancover
Giordano from Calgary
Ehrhoff from Buffalo
Kulikov from Florida

Spitballing ideas for guys with years remaining on their contracts, which I think we'd all prefer to a rental that we then have to watch leave for the East Coast.

 

[Reaper45]

Maybe we could get Sbisa for Regehr?

Mitchell and his $3.5 comes off the books after this season. No sense to try and dump him right now.

Regehr does have 1 more year on his contract. I'd love for him to be slotted as a 5/6. I have the feeling that wouldn't won't work with Matt Greene... that has the potential to be the slowest pair of defensemen in the National Hockey League.

Same goes for Matt Greene - so management needs to decide if he'll be in the mix going forward next season as well; this season being a contract year his play certainly didn't help his cause.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Go big in the off-season and try to acquire Shea Weber for Slava Voynov, Justin Williams, one of Tanner Pearson or Linden Vey, and two first round draft picks. Playing armchair GM is fun.

Nashville still doesn't touch that

 

[drugold]

Voynov for Vlasic

 

[Cor]

Just curious, but on the Leafs board we have been tossing around an idea for a deal based around Lupul and Brown.

Would you guys be interested in something like that?

Lupul would help you guys score more, and he's good friends with Richards/Carter.

Yes.

 

[Face Wash]

We're certainly seeing what Doughty can do with the right partner/system.

Doughty needs someone who can get him the puck quickly and can skate with him. Kings don't have that in a left handed defenseman. Well, I think Martinez would be worth trying with him, but aside from that...They need to find someone.

 

[scramble91]

Except lupul would get hurt just learning the kings system.


His injury history just scares the hell out of me.

The Kings aren't trading Brown...not even worth the time thinking about it much less discussing it.

 

[SettlementRichie10]

The only way we get Weber from Nashville is if we give them Richards AND Voynov. Tempting, but not likely to happen.

I don't disagree at all. I'm with you on most points, actually. But I think this is not just Doughty.

I posted elsewhere that if the Kings are all enjoying this kind of success at the Olympics but come back and collectively keep sucking (lol, I actually typed "Sutting"), heads are going to roll. While I think we can certainly upgrade (especially at LW, partner for Doughty, etc.), what this tourney is showing is that the talent exists, it's just being shackled.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Would be pretty awesome if we could pry Babcock out of Detroit.

Forbort could be ready to go next season.

Yeah, there is no doubt we have some world class talent on this team, it's just too bad we are not allowing them to use their talents to the fullest. I've always been a believer that you adjust/form your system around the players you have, not the other way around. I believe we might be doing it the wrong way

I don't see any way Nashville would even sniff at that deal.

The Kings have 4 Left shot D-Men...Mitchell, Regehr, Muzzin & Martinez...None have been able to help bring out the best in Drew for various reasons...Any of these guys?

The only ones I see that could potentially hang with Doughty are Ehrhoff, Gio, and Campbell. But I wouldn't give up what it would take to get Gio, Campbell is too pricey, and Ehrhoff is sort of a wild card. It's tough, it really is. For better or worse, I suspect Muzzin is the guy and we'll have to see him take the next step in the coming year or two.
