He deserves it and he brings leadership, work ethic and PK.
We lost some PK guys already from good units.
That's why I think sending Clarke down makes sense to give coaches time to evaluate and Blake time to make trades.
I know its been said Clarke is ticketed for the NHL but that does not necessarily mean right out of camp.
They burned Laferrierre's eligibility or I would say the same for him.
He slumped and they should have set him down, looking forward to this seasons waiver jam.
I would try to sneak guys down on waivers as early as possible, letting them know they will be back after Blake adjusts roster.
Boom!
This kind of talk is much better than negative and trying to be funny rehash of the same things we hear to infinity and beyond!

Not true. All you need is $6 million.
Well that's $42,540,000 today adjusted for inflation. Where's that ad for gold and silver?
Meet the new season. Same as last season.
IMO that Englund is traded or picked up on waivers. Loved the way he played last year. He was tied for the league lead in fights, only makes 1 million and will be a UFA.
Burroughs makes a bit more, is a better player and his deal has two years. He can also play both sides. I have the feeling the Kings will want to keep him with that versatility.
I don't see the Kings losing Kayilev for nothing, so he will stay also unless he is traded.
Could Fagemo be waived again? Possibly? But why risk. Better to have two extra forwards than one extra D.
Kings can afford to lose a D with Jones and Moverare in the AHL also.
Burroughs makes a bit more, is a better player and his deal has two years. He can also play both sides. I have the feeling the Kings will want to keep him with that versatility.

Sorry about facing my temper last season.
Thanks for all you do, man.

Fair winds and following seas Nikolai.
No one wants Englund on an NHL roster with a 1 way deal for next year. Turns out the guy who is forced to eat the poison pill is Rob Blake. Funny how that happens. Guess he forgot that Andreas is 29 years old and no sane person is thinking about putting in a waiver claim at $1M / season.

I agree Englund is odd man out but I personally think he clears waivers. I agree Burroughs is a better option in all regards and will likely play a bit. I think Burroughs will be better than most people expect and now I’ve done my homework I like that trade.
If Kaliyev is truly getting a clean slate, I hope both parties fully live up to that and make the most of it. Both sides have nothing to lose and everything to gain at this point.

I am confident that Englund would be claimed. With Edmundson highly unlikely to play more than 60 games you need cover on the left side.
The battle is whether you keep the diet Gavrikov in Moverare, the diet Edmundson in Englund, or the diet NHLer in Jones.
Carrying 8 defensemen is the wisest choice here, and Burroughs should be safe.

Those lines hahaha
Laferriere Kopitar Kempe
Fiala Byfield Foegele
Jeannot Danault Moore
so mcuh for supporting the kids eh
Kaliyev Thomas Lewis playing for last place
Turcotte and Fagemo on the AHL #1 line
Also seemst o confirm the defense we're all looking at though with Anderson Doughty / Gavrikov Spence / Edmundson Clarke
Wild Card race solidified baybee, just trade Turcotte Thomas Kaliyev and Fagemo for more 30 year olds and get it over with.
This is going to be a bottom 10 NHL offense.

It's pretty much the lineup most of us anticipated seeing, with most of the competition likely being who fills up the fourth line.

They are not the opening night lines though, it’s a start for camp.. We know there are guys competing for spots so putting them on similar level lines with each other makes for a more even comparison. If you were to put Thomas alongside Kopitar for example that potentially gives him a leg up heading into camp. Thats IF you really want to read anything into it.
I don’t think it is much other than indicating seniority and where the competition in training camp lies. Knowing Hiller it’ll be in the mixer by the middle of the day anyway. Hey, it may well work out how you describe but we will see. I’m certainly not bothered at this point as it is pretty much what I’d expect. If we’re the last preseason game I’d feel differently.

It’s to bad Blake couldn’t have thrown PLs contract on the ground and pissed on it like Lou Brown did with Doran

Rasmus Laferriere on the "top" line is actually more insane than Dwight King in that role back in the day.

Their opening training camp lines have mirrored their intended NHL lines for the last couple of years if memory holds true.
And Laferriere and Byfield ARE kids in the top 6. The real beef here is Jeannot with Danault instead of using that spot for Thomas/Fagemo/Kaliyev. Laferriere's game is well suited for Kopitar, no shame in seeing him get that opportunity. Foegle was a "we are at the store with a handful of cash, might as well buy something" signing and is the only real blockade for a kid on the roster. But he's serviceable, and if he helps Byfield develop as an attacking center by stretching the coverages in transition, that is a perfectly acceptable bridge deal.
Re-signing Kopitar and retaining Danault over the summer. pretty much locked Turcotte into that 4c spot, so that isn't surprising.
The only real change I would like to see would be Jeannot-Turcotte-Lewis/Kaliyev/Fagemo with Thomas up with Danault and Moore.
