Dunno, looks a little too fast to be the kings.

Brown is still at $6m until 2022, and can pick 8 teams. That's uprooting the family, he's not going somewhere to lose, so the other 8 teams probably have their own cap issues. It's not going to be easy to trade him. It's tough enough trading the normal 5 that everyone wants to trade.

For those who can get sportsnet:

Hamonic must get his ass handed to him a lot, the guy always seems to wear a bust face protector.

 

[kingsfan28]

You can't score when your shots are blocked .

Are Jim and Alex really talking about where they get their hair done??

Wtf is this.

It's more interesting than what's happening on the ice, which is nothing.

 

[kingsfan28]

2 passes and its out of the zone by the Flames. It takes the Kings 4 and then give it right back.

 

[Bandit]

Hard to believe but Kopitar is the worst guy on his line right now.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Ilya should know better not to pass.

 

[Bandit]

God dammit Kovalchuck. Just shoot.

 

[kovacro]

I dunno if I can do another period of this.

Got to get up tomorrow and get ready for some serious tailgating.

Gotta go cheer on my Hamilton Tiger-Cats on..Its CFL Playoff time!

 

[KingsFan7824]

Ilya should know better not to pass.

They brought him in to shoot. Is he trying to confuse people too?

 

[kingsfan28]

2 on 1 and its blocked!

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Chinese fire drill around the Kings net.

 

[kovacro]

God dammit Kovalchuck. Just shoot.

Jeebus, why would he even of entertained passing that off to Toffoli. Be selfish.

Toffoli was traded like 2 years ago?

 

[kingsfan28]

Kopitar looks like he's dragging an anchor going up the ice.

[Raccoon Jesus]

Pearson showing signs of life.

Kopitar...still on life support.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Is that Kings ad inferring that those chicks are into bestiality? I'm so confused.

I almost made this exact same post. I'm not sure if I'm saying full-blow up or whatever yet, but there HAS to be some player movement, even lateral moves. It's just stagnant and this group just doesn't work. Too many of the same guy on defense....anyone looking for a big vanilla LHD? We've got a monopoly on them. Same with north-south forwards that can get a shot off the wing and win some board battles.

Kind of have one foot in three different rooms right now, and I chalk that up to it being early--we'll see what Blake's vision is as the season goes on, but these early results will probably have great impact.

Agreed. I thought so too earlier in the year when it comes to lateral moves, but I would seriously consider straight up futures for players at this point. I don't see this turning around lightly. Our only hope for a quick turn around with this core is a phoenix rebirth through picking an impact player high in the draft and infusing the roster with younger, faster, talent. Even then, too many things have to go right. Our ship may have sailed.

Brown is still at $6m until 2022, and can pick 8 teams. That's uprooting the family, he's not going somewhere to lose, so the other 8 teams probably have their own cap issues. It's not going to be easy to trade him. It's tough enough trading the normal 5 that everyone wants to trade.

It's now or never. It really pains me to say it because I didn't recommend trading Dustin even when he was slumping, this is the first time I have suggested it since we drafted him, but he is still a fine player, he has proven himself and is a desirable asset. If you don't deal him now, I don't know if you will ever have the chance as the team deteriorates.
