Around the League '18-'19

[Ziggy Stardust]

markov shoots left and will only go back to Montreal

That's not who I was thinking about.

 

[YP44]

Indeed it is. Well worth the cash.

best introduction of a contract i have ever seen

 

[Little Psycho]

If only the Kings had a certain right handed Russian defenseman who could shoot the puck and is familiar playing with Kovalchuk...

I don't know if the Caps would be willing to trade Orlov.

That's not who I was thinking about.

Ziggy was hoping they would bring back this fella.

Ah yes, the centerpiece of the Alexei Zhitnik trade. Though a modern version of the other defenseman they got in that deal would be nice.

if only he were a left...no clue who he could have been talking about then

I refer to it as the Robb Stauber trade.

Of all the holes on the Kings, that one has been the most difficult to fill.

Yep, and the player they've tried to fill that spot has been Martinez, who has performed quite admirably with increased ice time, but he's no Voynov.

Doughty and Karlsson in the same division should be fun. Now neither will win a Norris again. Kidding, of course Karlsson will win more.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

That would make SJ's defense incredibly formidable with two incredible offensive difference makes from the back end. It sucks that it would come at our expense, because I truly can't think of any precedent for that...like having two x Paul Coffey back there. Burns and Karlsson...but also Vlasic.

And if they managed to keep Braun then they have two elite top pairs.

That's 3 RHD though, and Braun took a huge step back

 

[kovacro]

HF Boards crash incoming....

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I't sofficial. Now just waiting on the return.

Scarytime!

 

[Little Psycho]

I'm ready to get hurt again.

 

[KingTrouty]

Wow Montreal fans displaying full ignorance and homerism in a Phaneuf trade proposal their own fan started.

Now that Bergevin traded away Pacioretty he's a trading savant again and they could get a 1st for Tatar if they traded him.

I had to step away from that thread yesterday, almost a fifth down. I was fuming KP. f***ing idiots

The good news there is if they keep cheering for him they'll be stuck with him, so let them chest thump away

How you inherit a team with prime-entering Price, Patches, PK and turn it into....that...is something.

 

[Little Psycho]

 

[KopitarFAN]

Meh. I'm just glad he didn't go to Vegas, will be interesting to see how they make it work long-term paying Burns, Vlasic and Karlsson ~$25M starting in 19-20.

EDIT: It changed Vlasic to "classic" should've seen that coming.

 

[KingTrouty]

I't sofficial. Now just waiting on the return.

Scarytime!

Say it aint so, RJ.

We avoid Tavares only to get Burns and EK.

EK is about to see what a real D is in Doughty. Still, someone hold me.

 

[YP44]

didn't cost the sharks near enough

Leetch and Zubov?

Cost them nothing. I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what the best piece is out of all that.
