Forbort's Next Contract

[apadilla]

I'm also good on keeping AMart for another year. I don't think there is a better teammate on the Kings. AMart led the Kings in ice time last night at 25 minutes. Wow.

Martinez - Doughty
Clague - Walker
Bjornfot/Hutton - Roy
MacDermid

If Bjornfot isn't ready, then I can see Hutton signed for one more year. Forbort is the one to go though. Does anyone know if Forbort was a healthy scratch last night against Vegas?

I agree with you, my response is to those jettisoning all of the above, leaving us

Doughty/Bjornfot
Clague/Walker
Anderson/Roy
MacDermid

to start next year. That's problematic. That's how you end up with an Edmonton situation. Keep Forbort or Martinez, fire Hutton and Ryan into the sun, i don't care. But don't purge ALL the vets before the kids are ready.

There are a good amount of UFA options this year out there. Cashing in (somewhat) on Forbort seems like the right move. Might as well get an asset, even if its a 3rd/4th. It would be easy to grab a couple vets. I would be fine with DF for 1 or 2 years but he is not gonna sign for that.

I hear we are keeping Forbot. I would move him but the current "braintrust" doesn't think the same.

I’d love to see Forbort end up with a division opponent like Edmonton. Hearing the opinions of Canadian fans as they wait for him to make the first two zone pass of his nhl career will be great.
