So move them sooner when the still have value? There isn’t going to be a market for every one of the devalued prospects we’ve lost, despite what some might think. However they could have moved a couple of then for ‘something’ - even if it’s just a swap of prospects needing a fresh start somewhere. They’ve been too passive managing the prospect pool and then blow a wad on PLD.
Rangers got a 2nd for Lias and a 1st for Nils Lundkvist. Neither showed anything before getting traded and still havent since.
Bold of them to assume that Blake is savvy enough to get even a nothing pick for him. They will either wind up not tendering Kaliyev and letting him walk as a UFA or they’ll hold onto him for no reason until training camp then lose him on waivers.
Do you feel that the kings keeps drafting players with certain skills and play a certain style and then the Kings get hold of them, then they're put in position that doesn't fit their skill set instead of utilizing their skills. Kinda square pegs in round holes.
Yes without question. I'll put it in a Montreal team style. It's like if Montreal took Caufield and put him with Pearson and Colin White on the 4th line for less than 10 mins a game for a little over half the season. If you're playing well then we will give you maybe the last 30/45 seconds of PP #2 time. While getting mad that you aren't performing to how they want him to.
Thx, also that is one thing that i hope changes a bit this year and that is the way the power plays are distributed .
Not quite....Caufield is a lot lot lot better than Kaliyev
So as I say, be proactive and swap with a struggling prospect elsewhere to attempt to fill a position of need. I find it hard to believe that no options exist there, not for ANY off of them. A year earlier Björnfot likely gets ‘something’. Sure if he gets a 2nd everyone on here still bitches but it’s not about appeasing a message board. However potentially losing all these guys for next nothing has to be looked at as poor asset management.
Yea he wasnt very good. But looking back at his time here he played mostly with Torrey Mitchell, Andreoff, Wagner, Luff and late NHL career Clifford.
League is literally littered with players who were goal scorers in juniors
Yea some get lucky and get drafted by a team that puts them in the top 6 with Malkin or Crosby like Rust.
Trevor Lewis a prime example with 73pts in 62 games in the OHL and the same year 4 goals and 6 pts in his first 8 games in Manchester.
Come on I was only teasing. I doubt anyone here is really sour about letting Amadio go. Its just he isnt the only one there is a long line of mishandling here
I agree but that’s where GM’s need to get creative… as a hypothetical swap
