Kings News: Kings acquire Tanner Jeanott from the Lightning

[GoldenBearHockey]

Everyone is losing their shit over a 2nd pick in 2025, that is more than likely bottom half?

f*** I thought you guys had found everything to be pissed off over, and now this....

 

[Guitpik]

He had 14 minor penalties last season which is less than Dubois, Kempe, Fiala, Doughty, Laferierre, Byfield and Roy.

His penalty differential is better than Fiala, Doughty, and Matt Roy. Considering he's a tough guy those are really good numbers.

That may be true, but considering how the refs tend to treat the Kings like a baby treats a diaper, that number will most likely rise exponentially.

Ikr?

Oooh noOoooO we lost another future JAD and Bjornfot!!!

 

[funky]

The more I think about it the better I like this move. If Blake plans on playing players like Turcotte and Thomas, this is their protector. Both those guys play aggressive game but don’t have the bodies to back.

Last year fourth line was

Lewis - Lizotte- Grundstrum

This year

Thomas - Turcotte - Jeannot.

How did the saying go - younger stronger faster?

I wonder if one of the rookies gets played up a line or so and we bring in one more solid big fourth liner.

If Lizotte comes back, I really have no idea what we’re doing. I love those big strong physical fourth lines.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Well, we've been clamoring for the Kings to get bigger and tougher and they've added two players to address that in Burroughs and Jeannot.

And I'm going to guess he's not done adding to the roster.

That actually helps, thanks!

I like the player - but a 2nd and 4th for this guy 100% is an overpayment. You could get 270 hits from FA Clutterbuck for example if you just need a year of physicality. Id rather see Blake find an FA vs give away futures. The more picks you get the more chance of hitting the lotto... dont like giving away picks.

Don't underestimate the ability to actually step up and drop the gloves.

Clutterbucks last fighting major was in 2018 and before that was 2013. Again, if you wanted just hits go back and re-sign Grundstrom.

Team marshmallow needed this.
Like the deal

Understood.. I agree, but just using Clutter as an example. I just think we could find something in this list of FAs that meets the need and kept the picks and maybe pay same or less

If they add Domi the dynamics of this team changes over night. Just can’t have one guy mucking it up.

 

[Sol]

It’s a good deal whether or not Jeannot is lazy at times. It’s not like we lost anything and paying a lot for him. Very low risk and high reward

 

[KingsHockey24]

Tanner Jeannot, Andreas Englund, Kyle Burroughs. This team has some options now.

 

[FeartheFur]

Would Burroughs and Englund play at the same time?

 

[tigermask48]

if he puts up 10-10 and is wreaks havoc on other teams, its a win. some of yall crying for grit, finally get it then to proceed to cry more.

Never asked for grit. I want a significant change in the culture and the identity of the team. This is another band-aid on a, at this point in time, festering gunshot wound.

 

[DoktorJeep]

I think the trade is ok. It’s two decent futures for one reclamation project. I don’t see a ton of risk. And it’s conceivable he’s a good bridge guy if the kids start to take over.

 

[King'sPawn]

It's kind of an odd thing to complain about anyway. Yes, people want more physicality, but that doesn't mean we want them to make bad decisions.

It's like saying "you guys wanted center depth why are you complaining about PLD?" Sure, the issue was addressed, but that particular deal may be a bad one.

youre not getting that until kopitar and DD gone. guess you should come back in 2 years.

 

[BigBrown]

I was excited at first but I didn't know he was that bad last season. I hope he's a good fit and earns an extension.

 

[Johnny Utah]

In Vegas!

I’m here at the draft. Heard the news live. Wow.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I like that he isn't afraid of throwing his weight against star players, like this example where he nails Eichel and manhandles McNabb in a scrap.

 

[kovacro]

Where are you getting this lack of interest /effort theme from eye test?

Because he was scratched from one playoff game

how do we know its a bad decision? its a wait and see. if he plays anywhere int he middle of his time in nashville and tampa, then a 2nd round is an easy price to pay. some of you guys are acting like blake gave up what tampa gave up to get him.... guys are so blood thirsty to cry about everything.

 

[tigermask48]

Paid extra to add much needed grit and both those guys will fight. I am more than okay with this. I likeGrundy but so inconsistent and he will be getting a raise.

Here's the thing about "grit" and "fighting". In order for either of these guys to provide either of those things they need to be on the ice when something happens. To be on the ice when something happens, they have to be playing a decent amount.

Neither of these guys should be playing a decent amount over the other options that are available.

So great, the Kings are paying a whole bunch of money for two guys to go "oh, boy, I oughta" from the bench while the rest of the team continues to be soft.

That’s why I’m ok with it. A second round pick is something like 30% (I can’t look it up rn) so it’s not the end of the world as a late on would be slightly worse.
