Porky will do what he always does, Use the Kings as leverage to get his contract demands met from the KHL team of his choice.
Would be shocked if Porky signs with the Kings. Maybe Futa finally promised him a no AHL clause or something.
I truly think the horribad start this year and being 31st is the final straw we needed to change the course. On October 1, Luc, Blake and company thought the Kings
were Cup contenders. Now, everyone knows the Kings are not even far away from being contenders...and they now know the ridiculous mantra "as long as we have Quick, Doughty
and Kopitar, we are in the Cup window"....probably still heard that prior to October 1 and now we will never hear that again. So prior to October 1, was the old thinking for so many things.
One being, "no, we do not sign a Prokhorkin to a contract in which he cannot go to the AHL" ...or other philosophies they had. Being 31st for 22 games, changes everything and philosophy
now. In the Summer, it was add speed, play faster, blah blah. Now they know that is not the answer, or even a coaching change. They also now know Carter cannot be counted
on any more to score 30. He's done. Maybe 20 is possible They should also know that Toffoli will probably never score 30 again. Offense is dead last and they know it and must do something about it.
So they know they need to find 1 or more players that can score 30+ goals. So this means that they NOW take a real look at signing Prokhorkin for reals and others....do not know Kubalik's contract
situation. I think we are going to see them finally change their ways and hopefully as Futa says - find some top free agents out there.
