GDT: Game 2: Philadelphia Flyers @ Kings | Fri Oct 14 2016 - 7:30PM

[damacles1156]

Waiting for Kopitar to show up some time this season.

Doughty has even been scary in his own end, not that great a start either.

Doughty doesn't have an excuse either, he is paired with Kings rock in Muzzin.

 

[KingTrouty]

I know some here just hate to admit when a first round pick is a bust.

Derek Forbort isn't Colten Tuebert bad, but he has been a complete disaster of a 1st round pick. Going on 7 years since the pick and still not an NHL caliber player.

We will call up Gravel this year, right?

Right? Or should I just give up that hope...

 

[The Tikkanen]

They're gonna have to trade Forbort for nothing.

 

[Herby]

This season isn't going to be all bad, considering the disaster that Dean has been since 2014 we desperately need to re-stock the system, like desperately. Nothing against LaDue, Kempe, Mersch. But you need to be able to add players better than this atleast every two years.

I'm looking forward to a very high pick this June, plus whatever we get for some of the veterans that we move along the way. I know people will object, but if the wheels do fall off, this is the year the Kings have to move Carter to get full value back. Carter turns 32 in a couple of months and the Kings probably won't be contending for 2-3 years at the earliest, he has to be moved to a contender for some nice young pieces.

He probably get a call up, LaDue might as well.

 

[Bandit]

He'll show up when some wingers appear.

He has 14 million reasons to not need elite wingers.

 

[BigKing]

Tarasenko. ****...Etem has done more haha.

This team has like 10 legit players and that's it.

Dowd has skill and spunk and still sits. Joke store.

They're tired.

 

[damacles1156]

They would just waive him, if they're not satisfied.

 

[KingTrouty]

3 to ****ing zero. This team is bad, not 96-2000 bad, but baaaaaaad.

Cmon Dean, rebuild the **** outta this machine

 

[KingTrouty]

He probably get a call up, LaDue might as well.

I hope, Dam. I was hoping it would be as part of a late season push, but it may be as a pure tryout only.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

They're gonna have to trade Forbort for nothing.

Or waive him. He very well could clear. Every team has had a Forbort, a few of them have passed through here (Jeff Schultz and Keaton Ellerby).

 

[Herby]

We will call up Gravel this year, right?

Right? Or should I just give up that hope...

Forbort is up because the Kings are worried about waivers, which they don't have to worry about with Gravel.

But honestly, I'd be shocked if anyone claims Forbort, and even if they did, who cares at this point, it's almost unheard of for a former 1st round pick to make an impact this late in the process.

 

[damacles1156]

At least Muzzin is still looking just as good, as last season, solid.

 

[HookKing]

Forbort is still playing minutes so DS isn't blaming him.

 

[Scottkmlps]

We will call up Gravel this year, right?

Right? Or should I just give up that hope...

He shouldn't had been sent down to begin with.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Flyers continue to get shots from the middle, Kings continue to fail to pick up or cover the trailing player.

 

[onlyalad]

Greene -3.

That's better than I thought he was

 

[damacles1156]

I hope, Dam. I was hoping it would be as part of a late season push, but it may be as a pure tryout only.

Well Marty can't anchor his own line, he just can't. So Muzzin/Drew will have to be split up.

McNabb is just brutal to start this season, he may lose his spot.

You may see both Gravel/LaDue get a bunch of games.

It's possible.

 

[ru4reals]

So if you wanna win against us just score a goal. If they score 2 blowout. I'm gonna be sick. I'm gonna say it again. If Clifford, Nolan, Andreoff, Stone hands, king, Purcell, Setoguchi, Shore, Brown make up the majority of the team I don't care about injuries or not it won't be pretty.

 

[Model62]

Hey. Let's blame Dustin Brown. It's gonna be a long season, Kings fan, so let's agree on the hate. Dangit, Dustin Brown.

 

[BigKing]

Giant bust. Jesus Christ. Classic Kings moment being at that draft thinking Tarasenko was happening.

Nope. Project D Man haha. Giant 6 foot 5 tampon. No snarl, no offense. Just..."there".

 

[Scottkmlps]

Well Marty can't anchor his own line, he just can't. So Muzzin/Drew will have to be split up.

McNabb is just brutal to start this season, he may lose his spot.

You may see both Gravel/LaDue get a bunch of games.

It's possible.

He lost it in the pre-season.

I think it would be surprising if they could get back the same value that they gave up to get him. Like you said, he turns 32, and he's still got a cap hit of $5m for 5 years after this season. How many contenders can absorb that?

 

[damacles1156]

Brown is going through the motions, he looks checked out completely.

He gets paid millions, regardless of what happens too him.
