Kings won’t have much room after Kayilev gets signed, as Jesse pointed out.
Portillo’s deal won’t affect the Kings.
Wouldn’t be shocked if the Kings bring in a PTO in camp.
If Kayilev is moved, the PTO would likely be someone with scoring potential.
Anyone want to throw out names? Going thru the list I would say Zadina and Lebanc. Both play RW.

Tough to get scoring from a PTO or even a minimal contract.
That's why Kaliyev should be given a shot.
Put the butt hurt aside on all sides of it and give it one more chance.
What could have been
Foegele - Kopitar - Kempe
Fiala - Byfield - Vilardi
Moore - Danault - Lafferiere
Jeannot - Turcotte - Thomas
Anderson - Doughty
Clarke - Faber
Gavrikov - Spence

We wouldn't have Kuemper or Edmundson's cap hits.
We'd probably also have Iafallo instead of Foegle.
I'm not sure how we'd still have Fiala though.

CARRYOVER BONUS: 1.85M
PROVOROV: 2.025M
RICHARDS: 700K
TOTAL = 83.795
CAP SPACE = 4.2M
This is probably closer to the "what if" lineup.
We'd also have two more quality prospects in the system from our retained 1st and 2nd round picks. Possibly another 1st if Roy was traded.
Also possible we don't have Provorov and bought out Petersen instead.

You guys are way too dedicated to making hypothetical line ups with cap hits. Go have a margarita.
Don't need goalies with a roster like that
It's the offseason, we're bored. Limited hockey content so we have to create it out of thin air lol

1. Margarita, and Long Island ice teas.Don't need goalies with a roster like that

2. Trust me you don’t need Kings content. I truly wish the offseason lasted another ten years.

Man the drop off after Malkin in 2004 was pretty bad. I think Lauri played 5ish games for us:
I still remember the legendary interview with Marek Schwarz.
"Why does everyone think Ovechkin is going first and not me?"

The Athletic released the results of a recent poll with one question: How confident are you in your team’s front office?
I was gratified to keep scrolling and scrolling until I found the Kings at # 31 out of 32, beating only the New York Islanders for fan confidence.
Dom L's opinion?
"The luster surrounding the Rob Blake era has officially worn out. Three straight first-round exits at the hands of the same team will certainly have that effect — a showcase of exactly how far away the Kings are from contending. Being stuck in the middle was the biggest concern around meshing two eras and that seems to have come to a head over the last year. The public views the Kings front office as borderline bottom five and the internal feeling from the team’s own fan base has sunk precipitously. No team saw a bigger drop in confidence than the Kings, with 92 percent of their fans less confident than they were a year ago.
That hinges almost entirely on the trade and subsequent signing of Pierre-Luc Dubois, a move that seemed fine at the time but ended up as one of the most disastrous decisions in recent memory.
The rest of the work here is a mixed bag, with Quinton Byfield’s new extension an obvious highlight and the Joel Edmundson deal a lowlight. But the Dubois deal casts a massive shadow over everything and anything else this front office has done over the last year."

NHL front-office confidence rankings, 2024
Kings' front office ranks 31st.
Should be noted that Kings fans universally ranked the front office dead last in every category but 1. The only thing pulling the score up even a little was outside public perception.

Pretty much what many of us expected the day Bluc took over. Basically pissed away nearly a decade of our fandom.

Foegele - Kopitar - Kempe
Fiala - Byfield - Vilardi
Moore - Danault - Lafferiere
Jeannot - Turcotte - Thomas

No fanbase was more negative on their own front office than LA fans.

What the hell does it take to get an F on those rankings? Jesus. 1.8 doesn’t cut the F threshold?
I don’t see how Vision category isn’t a resounding F. I have no f***ing idea what they’re thinking and they don’t know what they’re thinking either. It should be a clear F. Roster Building should be an F too. A dead guy would be better at running this team because it wouldn’t have traded for PLD.

I trust the Islanders front office more than the Kings
LMAO shows you how much the national hockey public knows or cares about the Kings (or any team in the West other than the Oilers really).
The fact that BLuc managed to get as high as 13th last year is a joke. It’s better late than never though, and glad to see that virtually the entire fanbase is now fully on board the anti-BLuc train save for a select few exceptional individuals.
