Rumor: KINGS 2018-19 Season- Luc/Rob ****Show/ Sell Everyone!! Part 3

[Little Psycho]

If we can get rid of Carter that would be great.

 

[Davit17]

Cherry picking.Not everything any insider says comes true.If he hears it he reports it,if it changes then it changes.Thats not a insiders fault if trade talks fail.

Great. I just asked if JD had any credibility.

 

[deaderhead28]

Great. I just asked if JD had any credibility.

Fine.

 

[kovacro]

Boy, if Blake could get Carter off the books that would be quite to coup.

I’d be content if they got anything of substance for him.

Just got to hope whoever loses out on Hayes will panick close to the deadline and make a move for Carter.

Best news I’ve heard all day.

I'm still overseas until Monday...17 hour trip back and land in Chicago at 6 AM I think and then Denver
at 10:15 AM...by the time I have wifi, there will be former Kings and new Kings....I cannot see Twitter
where I am - it's blocked in China...so since the tweet above is well liked and probably regarding Carter
I like it too! But....what does it say? lol

Both Nashville and Dallas have interest in Carter.

 

[Davit17]

Wonder if Carolina will make a move for Carter now that the Jackets got Duchene. Jeff has ties with their captain so you never know

Thanks! And hope they can make one of them happy then...and no, I did not see Todd Elik here and the junior Beijing Kings while here. Was interesting that Lakngsinsider had a story about them the other day. Saw some hockey art and posters in a mall and a street hockey setup in the mall - more like a shooting on a goal setup - not a rink, but cool. Walked on the Great Wall last week and was surreal. Saw the Olympic Stadium Bird's Nest from 2008 Summer games. Missing good mexican food and speaking in English with people. Miss seeing Kings hockey? Not so much. I recorded all games while gone. Delete Delete Delete when back. Will like coming home and seeing new players though...will be a bit sad if Kovy is traded but he deserves better.

Colorado has space I would love to package whatever we need to Carter ++ for Ottawa's first rounder

lol pass whatever you’re smoking

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I think Lieutenant Dan is hallucinating again.

 

[Seventyx7]

Something like OTT 1st for Carter and our 1st maybe.

 

[kovacro]

Lt. Dan jumped off the shrimping boat one too many times.

Just grinding your gears, bud.

I like you optimism, but no way Colorado parts with that pick. It’s going to end up no worse than 2nd overall in the draft.

f***ing Avs.

Lol I was being sarcastic. There is no + with Carter for that pick.

 

[Primakov!]

Lol I was being sarcastic. There is no + with Carter for that pick.

It would just be the cherry on top of the misery sundae for a deal like that to actually go through at the Trade Deadline only for Colorado to win the NHL Draft Lottery and hopscotch the Kings again for the #1 pick...

 

[SlimCharles]

What's the farthest you can drop being the worst team? Can't you drop to 3rd overall potentially?

 

[bob77]

We would be fine to just have some players no longer count against our cap. It’s that simple. There is a cost to overpaying a player. It doesn’t matter if it’s someone w a $1 cap hit but worth zero, or a $11 cap hit but playing like 6. If a player ain’t playing like their cap hit, it’s time to think about moving them. You can’t be comparing players to their own teammates on skill level. It doesn’t matter. It’s not a matter anymore of so and so is better than so and so. So, with that said, the Kimgs are in trouble. Kopitar is playing like a 5, Drew is playing like a 4, Dion is playing like a 1, Forbort is playing like a 1, Quick is playing like a 1, Carter is playing like a 1, Toffoli is like a 2, etc. Meanwhile, Clifford is playing like a 3, Kempe is up to about a 2 and rising, Wagner is about a 2, Luff was even $2 perhaps, etc. I could go through the whole organization. So, you shed cap space at all costs, even if you get shit in return. You take 5 and 6 round draft picks. Those are live bodies eventually, and the more you have, the more you might have Luc!! You never know. As far as worrying about Seattle? It’s no problem. You don’t protect Kopitar Drew Brown Carter , although I know I got this wrong because of no moves, but hell, protect all your young stuff. I’m ranting. But it’s a money game, and the Kings would be great to move some players. Even if it seems like we are getting screwed. We wouldn’t be. It would just be an illusion when you’ve first heard it.

I follow this. I don’t have any clue whether it’s accurate in concept, but it appears the ping pong balls only get so bad for a team.

If it were any other team, it’d be done by now. But Carolina has a history of not making this sort of play.

 

[Martyros]

Martinez has to be worth a 1st +. It would hurt to lose him but you have to make that deal. Having 3 1sts this season would be a step in the right direction...

I remember having 3 1sts one time.....turned out great last time!

There's a lottery for the top 3 spots. The farthest you can drop as the worth team is a 4th overall pick.

The worst team has a 50% chance of picking in the top 3 and a 50% chance of 4th overall.

Ben Lovejoy just got NJD a 3rd round pick and a 24yo 6th/7th RHD.

For the first time in a long time it really is a seller's market. Blake needs to sell as much as he can right now.

Martinez should easily get a 1st then.

 

[AzKing]

It could be that teams just don't value what the Kings have to sell that much. Guys either aren't playing that great or have bad contracts or both in the case of Carter this year.
