Around the league part 2

If that's the case then Blake needs to be savvy and do the same, he needs all the help he can get. If you're not cheating you're not trying to win. Just look at the Astros, Redsocks, Patriots...

Part of me agrees with this since bringing Kempe and Arvidsson back just a few weeks before playoffs is dumb when you could just sit them those extra weeks and get an extra $9 mil to play with.

But more cap space would also mean more bad trades and setting the franchise back another couple years so I’m fine with playing by the rules for now lol.

Good christ this place gets toxic at the trade deadline

Not just the TDL

The only way it can realistically be stopped is if they can prove that these players aren't actually hurt for the duration.

Which they have to prove they are injuried to get LTIR cap relief....

 

[KingsHockey24]

Yakov Trenin traded to LAK

I can feel it.

 

[mysterman2]

the way EDM/VEGAS/COL have loaded up and knowing that Vancouver/Dallas are already solid solid teams.....Kings should be sellers without question.

Certainly. It's the recovery time that gets sketchy. But again, it's not against the rules and I don't see the NHL or NHLPA caring about this anytime soon.

Interesting to see Byram traded, this is who the Kings apparently really wanted in 2019. He showed flashes of greatness, but also struggled to stay on the ice and had consistency issues in the defensive zone. But even as recently as last season he was producing pretty well from the back-end.

Buffalo now has Dahlin, Power and Byram as LHD and add in Jokiharju and that is a pretty nice young defense core.

They also have Samuelson on the first year of an eight year deal. That’s 4 LD that are taking a lot of cap. Also have Johnson on his first year out of college as a LD.

They have to be trading one, or two.

So Vegas gets Hanifin. Of course. Stone and Eichel will come back for the playoffs and win another cup. How come we don't have a GM that can do this. LOL.

 

[Frolov 6'3]

Oh No!!….all opponents acquire a McDavid from out of nowhere and Blake is sleeping at the wheel.

Eichel is already back in the lineup. Looks like they put Martinez on LTIR. He hasn't looked right lately. Could be it for him. Solid career for Jazz Hands.

Coincidentally exactly when trading for a better LH defenseman Hanifin....

Tobias bjornfot was just activated from LTIR. If he gets waived, can we claim him back?

We should just out of spite.

I believe we have first pick when it comes to reclaiming him, and I assume we probably would

From another post with HF Boards regarding waivers:

The original team that waived the player gets no special status to reclaim him--waiver order is processed the same as any other waiver claim.

The only "special" privilege a team has when reclaiming a player is that if a team loses a player on waivers, that player is waived again later that season, and his original team is the only team to put in a claim when he was waived again - then his original team may send him down without asking waivers again.

Interesting, good to know

I did not realize he was on LTIR

shocked JAD was claimed

 

[GoldenBearHockey]

Not sure why everyone is so shocked JAD was claimed.....he's a SAFE bottom six player who will does what needs to, shows some modicum of offensive ability, is sound defensively.....he's a bottom six player in the NHL....ala Amadio

 

[Omni Owl]

Amadio is much better than JAD at the moment, though that could change (knowing our luck JAD does well w/ the Preds). JAD is more of a Shore or Weal, barely serviceable.

 

[BigBrown]

I know one poster who'll be excited to see Brendan Lemieux available on waivers...

 

[Johnny Utah]

Me.

couldn't be!
