LA KINGS 2023/4 Regular season discussion

[dman3474]

I really hope it isn’t anything bad for Arvidsson, but if it puts him out until the start of playoffs they can certainly use that cap flexibility. We can be one of the teams using that loophole to circumvent the cap a bit.

Maybe it would be worth it to sign him to a cheap one year “show me” deal over the summer.

If anything I'd think this injury scare will make him want to test the market and try and get that big deal, but guess we'll see. I think it all depends on if he comes back for playoffs and looks good. But kings would be fools to sign him for anything more than 1 year.

Arvidsson is done. At this point his career is in jeopardy. Two back surgeries and he's in his 30's.

so dumb

so dumb

especially after that pretty wretched outing by englund

 

[chris kontos]

If they get rid of spence the're making a big mistake.
But i thought arty would help this team so...

 

[bland]

Its just to get him a game tonight, he will be recalled tomorrow.

Its the benefit of a local AHL team. That's all it is.

I can't see these embedded tweets but did they say what the injury was? I figured it was a groin and the Kings did say lower body injury.

 

[chris kontos]

They said someplace it was lower body.
When he was walking down the the tunnel i saw him flinch when his back pinched him.
As a long time back injury guy that flinch is unmistakeable

Hoping it's a groin or hamstring and not his core.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Scroll to about 7:15, Elliotte Friedman links the Kings to Saros, mentioning that they've kicked that idea around.

If the cost is reasonable and it makes sense, I say go for it. He has another year left on his contract, and he's 28, and he's been a pretty consistent performer throughout his career.

on the bench looked like he was shouting "why?" to himself too so i imagine we're talking reaggravation

Well, as a runner that has pulled hammys and calf muscles, I'd flinch taking a step with those as well.

I'm expecting overcompensation for the back injury leading to something wrong with the legs. Let's hope that is the case.

Koala imbecility reversed! Now why dont you feature him in OT

He did in the one OT game the Kings have played since Hiller took over.

that would be the best case scenario

 

[johnjm22]

so dumb

It's just a paper transaction. He's not likely going to the AHL.

still gonna rot on the bench, clarke is in hillers favor

He flexed his left leg before skating to the bench so maybe something popped in his knee.

How about put him on the starting three? I recall he came in after Danault and Moore..Treat him like the top forward that he is. Edit: I wonder how many of those lost OT games (8) wouldve been different had he been in there

Why was Koala so hard headed?
