Around the league part 2

The Kings will be past due for their 3rd in 2063... and the way things are looking thats about when we can expect the next one.

So that is when QB breaks out.

 

[jgs]

Not sure I agree with this. I think he has grown but he would have in LA as well

It was a big mistake trading him. Kings could sure use his skills.

The Kings draft system is to draft players that need at least 4 years in Ontario before they can know if they are NHL ready.

Even the “Around the League” thread has turned into another “Byfield sucks” thread.

Well we are talking about potential moves and player availability. Sorry baby girl.

Also, fun thing to consider..,Islanders won the Stanley Cup 8 years after joining the NHL.
Lightning won the Cup 12 years after joining.
Oilers won the Cup 4 years after joining the NHL.

I never realized this. Come to think of it the Panthers didn't win but they were in the finals 3 years after their expansion.

Maybe this notion of expansion rules being unfair is a little overblown.

Yeah because the Kings aren’t the only team in the league. I don’t think people should get caught up in two comments.

I was all for the teardown, but of all the players Blake dispensed of - Marty was the one that bothered me. I thought he was a natural leader wouldve been good with an A on his jersey (and in hindsight sure couldve used a 3LD). Someone correct me if Im wrong but the picks turned into Faber (2020) and Helenius (2021) - which is pretty solid.

I think the Kings traded the Vegas 2nd round pick for Lias.

Don’t worry. Soon it’ll be where it belongs. In the “Greatest Mike Richards Moment” thread.

Yep. 7th overall in 2017. The Rangers choose Will Cuylle, at #60

 

[FeartheFur]

It’s Byfields fault? You guys are crazy.

 

[KINGS17]

Almost as if winning is all that ultimately matters in sports.

Vegas was just lucky.

Just ask anyone here, that's how Dean did it, twice.

Wow, that's crazy

That's a fake account. The real Pierre LeBrun doesn't have 14 followers, LOL.

That's a fake account.

Owned.
Was hoping Gibson was being shipped to the East coast to be put out to pasture.

It was a big mistake trading him. Kings could sure use his skills.

I also do not think it was a mistake given where LA was at, and likelihood of him re-signing given path ahead.

One of my favorite kings ever for sure, miss him, made sense to move him. No regrets.

 

[GameNight]

yep Kings sure could have used a LD this season, or since Marty was traded.

Who says there's another goalie is coming in? Copley can back up Copley.

since inking Gavrikov the need is a lot less. Not like you bring in a guy like Martinez to play 3rd line

 

[johnjm22]

At least we're not Vancouver.

OEL will be on the books until 2031.

I was pretty shocked to see he's only 31 years old. Seems like he's been around forever.

And that buyout will still be over before the Mike Richards termination fees.

 

[johnjm22]

Interesting. Did not know this.

That means one of AZ's retention slots will be used up for the next 8 seasons.
