so sounds like friedman has no idea what our two teams will do lol
Agreed. They are part of the plan.Numbers aren’t so hot in the NHL the last five years.
Rather see Grundstrom or Luff take a spot honestly.
The trading deadline, which causes such fevers as "Paul Gaustad for a 1st", "Reaves for a 1st," and "Tatar for all your top rounds."
Reflecting on the trade now that it's been a while, Pearson is still a 20+ point guy even having a poor season. He could eclipse 30 in the right situation if he turns things around. But that contract... Oof. I remember thinking what a great deal it was when he signed it. I can't figure out what happened to him. It seems to be a drive/tenacity problem. I guess it could be something physically that we aren't privy to, but trades require physicals and such. It's perplexing.
Pearson's contract was a calculated risk, but the more inconsistent play we see from a variety of players leads me to think GMs need to start erring on the shorter side of deals and risk having to give a player a raise in a couple of seasons.Reflecting on the trade now that it's been a while, Pearson is still a 20+ point guy even having a poor season.

Boyle is a center scoring at a 23 goal pace at the time of the trade.Hagelin for a 3rd and Jaskin is terrible.
Boyle just fetched a 2nd and he’s 34 years old.
Hagelin is only 30 and is just as solid in the playoffs as Boyle but has a Stanley Cup ring.

I wonder how the Kings would have fared if "That 70's Line" had been able to maintain their success beyond the 2014 playoffs. I have to admit I thought we had our 2nd line for the next 5-6 years, and it just never happened.
I recall this trade news coming out in the late evening after the Avalanche defeated the Boston Bruins by a score of 8-2, and Deadmarsh had scored a pair of goals in that game.
I was just thinking any chance we end up with Devante Smith-Pelly and want to put him in the ahl to call up luff instead? with him clearing waivers would he would not need to go thru them again to put him in ahl If he gets claimed then we take someone else ?

in a trade I believe if he clears we can trade for him and send him to ahl. I could be wrong but i think thats how it works * waits for someone else to comment on thisIf we claim him he would need to be with the NHL. Or do you mean in a trade? Cause I don't know his waiver eligibility then
