Speculation: LA Kings News, Rumors, Roster Thread 2022-23 Season Part 2

[Schmooley]

Not CBS showing the Kings lots of love..
Yeah I know it’s CBS but I still like it!

NHL Power Rankings: Oilers join Kings, Avalanche as Western Conference juggernauts

The Oilers have been rolling since the trade deadline

Oh look 3 of the top 7 teams are from the junky Pacific and 6 of the top 10 are from the west.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Yeah we've noticed it for sure--the top of the Pacific can skate with anyone. The East is too busy huffing their own farts to notice so it'll just look like 2014 when someone from the west gets there

who ever can forget the rangers being better at every spot but 1C

grrrrrrr

After the win "KING HANK carried the team and the Kings still barely won."

In other words, he's terminal.

I was about to say this means he’ll be back by Christmas.

Backectomy scheduled for Friday at Kaiser.

I get that this is a trope or a meme or whatever but it's actually 20 years old and if anything the Kings now OVERestimate how long their players will be out pretty frequently.

So frequently that I have actually thought that it was specifically done to combat this joke.

 

[YAYSAY]

If he comes back and still looks good, he'll be wanting as long of term as he can get. Highly doubt he takes another 1 year or bridge deal.

 

[Little Psycho]

I had forgotten about Durzi lol not like we are missing goals by dmen with the way DD and Mikey have stepped up offensively

He is looking more and more like trade fodder as time goes by.

The joke will never and should never die.

The joke will never and should never die.

There have been some brutal times in my King's fandom, but listening to the calls into the postgame show asking when Deader and Allison were going to be back, were awful.

So awful that it‘s become legend.

 

[LAKings88]

I really hope Blake addresses some clutter in the off-season. Clarke will make things interesting.

I’m not sure what value Walker has but he needs to go.

Bjornfot seems to be low on LAs mind. Wonder if it was true he was offered for Chychrun?

Durzi for his warts has some name recognition. Trade him, maybe move up in the draft if possible with him as a piece.

Gavrikov hopefully stays but who knows. There are other good ufa dmen too.

Anderson Doughty
Spence Roy
Gavrikov Clarke
Bjornfot

Not perfect but I’d be happy.

 

[Rick Knickleback]

Indeed. Heard the joke should be back and ready to go by Christmas.

 

[Martyros]

i'm surprised Durzi isn't suffering from anal prolapse with how much his ass has sucked defensively.

Well, 20 years ago there wasn't a cap. Now teams need to budget to the day of how much they are spending to ensure they are compliant. They have to be conservative.

I see a lot of buy in and brotherhood and a real desire to be on this team.
Mikey A set a great example.
Vill is pretty young though and his agent could be an influential death star

Kopitar was robbed of a Hart Trophy in 2018, much like how Quick was robbed of a Vezina in 2012.

Villardi has yet to make big bucks in the NHL so far, with his injury history he's gonna be looking at securing his future more than buying into brotherhood because he can't afford to risk it.
