Blake Out of Hell III: Back in to Hell
I'm the #1 Kaliyev fan on here and I'll fight anyone for the title. Been my favorite Blake prospect.
You're correct that he wasn't playing very well. He really looked like a guy playing with something to prove last night. Of course, he would have looked like that on Saturday as well but we've got an enforcer with a football helmet on playing over him.
We all talk about his shot but Kaliyev, IMO, has a top-flight offensive mind. He just coupled it with an extra jump in his step last night which led to an awesome game. Hopefully the rust is off from the injury and we see the guy we saw last night the rest of the way.

Sorry friend. We have no room for humility here. This is HF.

Hypothetically? Absolutely.
It was the move to make back in 2016, without a doubt, but nobody is taking that albatross contract as of now.

That’s the one I had the biggest problem with of any league-wide. Demko is solid, they have forwards, but holy hell their defense is atrocious.

Bruce picked the Kings to win it in 2012 at the start of the playoffs. So he's cool with me.

So I was watching The Running Man earlier today and when Subzero died it reminded me of something.

If they can't find the Cap to bring Gavrikov back, Edler for a million would be an option.

Just out of curiosity, would King’s fans be interested in D. Toews in the off-season? If so what players would be available (ideally a center). I figure Byfield is close to untouchable, but what about Danault or Valardi?

Almost zero. It would just by buying a year on a potential rental when the Kings just gave up a 1st for Gavrikov on a potential rental. The Kings will almost assuredly be attempting to re-sign Gav. Not to mention that Toews would be looking for a big pay day a year from now as well.
Kings are interested in signing Gavrikov.
Colorado should look somewhere else to trade Toews.
I wish he went back to the Caps pregame gig he had before Vancouver hired him. It was the first time since I was kid a pregame show was worth watching.

Was thinking what would be the perfect scenario for the Kings for a story book ending....
Beat the Oilers in Rd 1. Tmac gets revenge over old team and last year.
Beat the Knights in Rd 2. Piss off Vegas and spoiler for Quick.
Beat the Avs Conf Finals. Eliminate former Cup Champs.
Beat Boston/Toronto or any NY team for the Cup.
Would be epic story line.

Oof, you would piss off more Kings fans here than any fan from a team they’d beat with that narrative.
Just add Doughty or Kopitar scoring the series winning goal against Toronto by attempting to slap a puck out of the air, possibly missing, the follow through hitting Matthews in the face, and then the Kings put the puck in the net on the second attempt.

throw in a borderline goalie interference and thats the trifecta....

Your ask is a lot more lopsided than if we went to your board and asked if you'd trade Byram for Kupari.
It addresses needs for both teams just the same, but the value is skewed in our favor.
The Kings would have one more season of Toews before the they have to re-sign him or scramble to find another LD.

We were right there
interested, absolutely. but not for a roster center, and as you saw, they've already taken their LHD swing, I can't think of anything that would fit both teams here and now.
