Cody Hodgson 1M 1 year. Can't believe how downhill this guy went.

I would still like someone like Horcoff for Pk purposes and bottom 6. Bring a little bit of leadership.

This team is lacking a player with supersonic hearing after Regehr left. Horcoff would be sweet.

You guys are assuming the League is going to lift Voynov off suspension upon a not guilty verdict or a lat minute or trial plea bargain. First his court case, then their investigation...while he heals...Lotta ifs. NHL doesn't necessarily have the same rules of evidence that a court/DA's office has to follow.

Even if found not guilty that doesn't mean the league won't turn up something in their investigation that they feel warrants a longer suspension or potential termination on the same issues Richards was terminated. Info that for many reasons a D.A. could not use in court (but would have loved to).

NHLPA would challenge it and it would take time for a hearing.

I'm sure if Futa is saying he'll be back, means the players are willing to accept him back. The fans won't be, but that won't matter unless it pisses him off to be boo'd every time he touches the puck a la Rob Blake. Which I assure you, WILL HAPPEN!

I still think it will be hard for the Kings to bring him back and even if he is cleared by the courts and the league, I think Voynov needs a fresh start somewhere else.

Just my opinion....and Fettuccine's too. (I tell him how to think...it's my job around here..)

He's already been suspended for almost a year, that's among the longest suspensions in league history. I don't think they could motivate suspending him any longer if he's not convicted. That's my opinion on the matter.
 
Our roster is good enough as-is for day 1, no need to make any foolish mistakes by signing ridiculous contracts.

Actually, I am going to agree with Big Brown here. Suck it Face Wash

I agree but I think by the time they've sorted it out Voynov will be healthy. I've said before that 'not guilty' doesn't mean the NHL won't turn up something they don't like and add supplemental discipline, but that was before he was suspended for a full season. I can't imagine the PA will go for it after the longest suspension in NHL history.

Time served. What, none of that counts? It basically amounts to a year suspension. Tacking on more would be ridiculous.
 
Prust is one of the biggest POS players in the league. Not happy to have him in the division. Same team as Dorsett too.
 
I hope we aren't in on Oduya. If only because his name sounds like a terrible boston pickup line.

"Yo, hey uuh, you're haht lady. Come ovah heah! Oduya if you let me"

Agree, I feel like we need to look to trade for depth dmen later, not do something silly now

Unless the league can prove to their satisfaction he did beat up his wife, in which case an arbitrator having seen the evidence might agree with supplemental discipline.

Then like I said, he has to play his home games in front of a crowd that's booing him constantly. The puck goes off his skate and into the net ONE TIME and the boos will get louder and louder.

I'm just sayin, I think it's in the franchise's best interest to move on from Voynov, no matter what.
