Kings News: CONFIRMED: 6 years, $25 million for Voynov

[Peter James Bond]

Awesome!

My guess in the 'prediction thread' was a 4.25 mil cap hit.

 

[Buddy The Elf]

Cheaper than Jack Johnson and a better player too. That deal sounds fair.

 

[deeshamrock]

Sweet Deano Sweet....Slava and Dewey on the backend for years...bring on them Silver Cups

 

[Omni Owl]

Great to hear he's locked up at that price. Doughty should be taking notes because he makes WAY more and Voynov has outplayed him, offensively at least. Kid's gonna be real good...

 

[Mats26]

In 2-3 years he will be worth 5.5-6. What a deal, it also makes him a very good tradeable asset in the later stages of his contract....like JJ was.

 

[ElKingsFan92]

This is incredible. We have almost 8 million dollars left to resign our FAs and/or make some moves this Off-season besides the Bernier trade. I really hope this opens the door for Scuds to resign.


Thank You Based Deano.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

You sign him, Sharks sign Couture.

Good day for both fan bases.

 

[funky]

love the signing. Perfect mix of salary and years. Similar to the Giordano contract in Calgary and the kid is just going to get better.

The guy can score. Watched us trade away Zhitnek, then Vis - Glad we are keeping this guy.

 

[YP44]

Great deal. Would way rather have Voynov had 4.16 than Gonchar at 5 or streit at 5.5. Actually I would rather have Voynov at 5.5 than either of those two, so absolutely love it at this cap hit.

To be fair to Doughty, he signed that deal when the Kings were still having difficulty just making the playoffs. Players are a lot more open to these types of deals when they get to be on a winning team like this one.

 

[goosh]

Thank you Based Houdeano!

 

[Omni Owl]

Also, hopefully we can keep Scuderi with some of the money we saved...

Wondering, does this mean it's bye bye scuderi for sure?

 

[Captain Mittens*]

**** yeah!

 

[TonySCV]

Great to hear.

Kings have 15 players signed for $56.7M -- leaving $959K per open roster spot per CapGeek. That means Scuderi will have to take a hell of a discount to stay in LA. Not sure that's going to happen.

Seems inevitable, sadly.

 

[Jonteeh]

Yes! Great contract..

Damn you! Damn you for raining on my parade with your logic!

Again, that's why I said hope. I guess I should have emphasized that. Also, not to attack you or anything, but what makes you sure Dean wouldn't open up some more cap space by trading some guys away (besides Bernier) or letting some other guys walk? Do you think Dean would try to bring everybody back again or do the best he possibly could to do so?

 

[The Tikkanen]

Molten Slava!

 

[Cook24]

Voynov resigning plays no factor in whether we resign Scuderi or not. If Scuderi walks, I think DL waits to see if Mitchell will be ready...and if not...then he makes a move for someone else...If scuderi resigns...Mitchell is bought out.

 

[KingsFan7824]

This is incredible. We have almost 8 million dollars left to resign our FAs and/or make some moves this Off-season besides the Bernier trade. I really hope this opens the door for Scuds to resign.

Almost meaning a little less than $7.7 million according to capgeek. The other 6 RFA's not including Bernier had a collective cap hit just over $4 million. If Lombardi is bringing all 6 back, you figure raises probably going up to $4.5, at least. That leaves the Kings with somewhere around $3 million in cap space. That's with no backup goalie, and still one spot on the roster to fill. With the way the roster looks right now, that open spot would be up front.

Of course a lot depends on what happens with Mitchell, and the Kings probably won't know what that situation will be until well after July 5th. So that extra cap space may not really help going into next season.

 

[goosh]

Seems to me that at this point Scuds and Penner are goners.

Yes... I hold out hope for Scuderi because of that fact. However, there just isn't much money left to go around. Whatever they do with Bernier will likely generate more salary (unless it's a trade solely for picks). Dean's got a hole or two on the left wing that needs to be filled with roster players and associated salary (Holloway, etc.). There's not much pie left to split up.

Points are sexy but Doughty is (still) much better defensively.
