It may be silly but i don't think that any player that has this much talent would go into uber lazy mode, but he wouldn't be the first or last to do so after a fat contract.
Fiala at least can be reasoned. PLD just made no sense at all. There was no improvement for the team by acquiring him even before he played a game and then an extension with an NMC? It just baffles me. He's not the only problem, but just a perfect symbol of how mismanaged this team has been the last 5+ years.
I was always really high on Vilardi despite his injury history. That trade really pissed me off.
taking victory lapses on another teams struggles seems to be the highlight of the year for some fan bases
Edmonton doesn't have anything valuable enough (outside of the obvious) to get Kempe with retention, or Kempe at all.
1st plus.
Bad system too reliant on Kopitar and Doughty. No goalie depth. No toughness.
Literally nothing the Oilers would give up.
The rebuild was never finished, it was suddenly stopped.
I would do this in a heartbeat only because I want Clarke and Spence in the line up.
Honestly.. I think they still can compete.. they have tuned out the coach and they are playing like it.
I don't know if the arrogance or nepotism in the Kings front office bothers me more
Idiotic roster management (riding Kopitar and Doughty far too much at this point of their careers)
Roy (over anyone else) should absolutely be available. Kings have a logjam at the NHL level on the right side, can't afford to re-sign Roy, and Roy would bring back a good return.
