Speculation: Fire Rob Blake Blow it Up Offseason Thread (update: Robitaille, Blake and Hiller stay)

At this point in his career, is Edmundson even an upgrade on Englund

 

[FSL KINGS]

Today we find out if Laferriere or Jeannot are going to be in the top 6 all season.

Blake has a plan?
Right?

Absolutely not.

 

[BigBrown]

With Arvidsson walking and Byfield being moved back to center the top 6 winger situation is looking pretty dire. They better figure something out.

Play the kids there.

What kids?

Edmundson? Is Marc Bergevin running things behind the scenes?

Dillon going to NJD per Weekes.

Zadorov save us.

TSN is gonna have nothing for their Free Agent frenzy if the insiders break everything before the show starts in an hour.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

New Jersey is going on a spending spree.

 

[Kudelski37]

What kids?

Fagemo, Turcotte, Kaliyev, Thomas, Laf. It is no more risky than trading or signing someone for the spot, see PLD, Penner, and Kovalchuk.

Start the show earlier.

seems like it would be a very solid pickup, he was good against us in the playoffs

Oh man. Just ignored that one, but Bergevin did sign him before. Think Blake tried to trade for him at some point.

Maybe he's looking at shifting the fringe, physical D to the 4th line?

 

[KingsHockey24]

f***, at this point I just want Yakov Trenin.

Bro dropped Zdeno Chara in a fight TWICE.

Sorry man.

 

[LAKings88]

LA never gets big name free agents. It is the way.

They either trade for or draft their stars.

I liked his game all playoffs. I really liked Stenlund too if LA can sign him I’ll be happy.

 

[No Name The Nameless]

Holy crap. Who is the heavy mouth breather on TSN?

Bummer.

Sorry man.

Big team gets even bigger.

What Free Agents are even left? Zadorov? I’d take RV back easily.

How many spots are even open?

Fiala - Kopitar - Kempe
xxx - Byfield - xxx
Moore - Danault - xxx
Jeannot - Turcotte - Laferriere

Anderson - Doughty
Gavrikov - Clarke
xxx - Spence

Kuemper
Rittich

So technically four spots to be filled, with potentially Fagemo, Thomas, Helenius, and Englund in the mix.

 

[Schmooley]

If teams like Chicago Anaheim Utah and San Jose decide not to tank and get better the Kings may not make the playoffs. They got a lot of wins beating up on teams that were trying to lose the last couple years and there may not be any teams that bad.
