It was an idea. I didn't say it was a good idea.
Not sure why Blake would pay Vilardi $4.5M per season right now. He's making league minimum now. He's a restricted free agent, so the Kings have the leverage. Even if he went to arbitration he wouldn't get $4.5M with just one good season under his belt.
I know everyone loves Gavrikov right now, but that's a lot of years.
Otherwise I like it a lot.

For sure, I felt the least confident in the Gavrikov and Vilardi signings. Kempe signed a 3-year, $2 million deal in 2019 at age 22. Maybe a 3-year, $3 million deal for Vilardi would make more sense? Either way, I wanted to give what I felt was the max salary each guy could receive.
As for Gavrikov's years... if it was six instead of eight, is that more reasonable? I don't really mind either way, that's above my paygrade.

Hey me too, but it is what it is. Hence I rarely get too upset with the comments in the GDT posted whilst the game is ongoing.
I remember doing a marketing course many years ago pre internet. Statistically then if something good happens you’d tell 3 people, if something bad happened you’d tell 7.
Obviously those numbers are meaningless in todays world, but the main point stands. People love to bitch and complain. Even if we win the cup there will still be people complaining at time outs not being used (with some justification), so probably need to start meditating or something

When youve only got one tool in the toolbox this is the daily go to....for some its Sudoku and others Wordle. For AXL its the silent cry for help via the NHL coaching carousel.
If it helps you out any....I acknowledge your existence.

Depends on what we want, really.
More Kraken wins means they are likely our first-round opponent, but chances increase we are on the road.
More Kraken losses means certainty of home ice, but with Edmonton more likely.
Pick your poison!
If Vegas keeps winning and divisional hopes are dashed you are right, we probably want the Kraken to win. Right now the most likely scenario (37%) is Kings at home vs. Kraken, followed by Home vs. Edmonton (31%).

I want the Kings to be the #1 seed in the conference.
That would be wonderful, but a tall order. Probably 109 points or so, only could lose 2 games down the stretch. The reward might be Edmonton, which I wouldn't really care for.
Would be a boon if the team goes deeper into the playoffs for sure.

Not at the cost of playing Minnesota though. That's the Kings worst possible first round matchup.

Minnesota's second in the Central division and 5 points ahead of Winnipeg for WC2 spot. What makes you think the Kings would play Minnesota first? Looks like WC2 will be more of a battle between Nashville and Winnipeg.
Odds are definitely low of that, and Kaprizov might not even play in the first round. Jets would probably be our conference reward.

I'll tell you what makes me think that: I haven't looked at the Central standings since they were in a wild card spot, apparently ages ago.

You know... I don't blame you.
I actually very rarely check out the standings myself. I just had to check to see what the likelihood of playing Minnesota is.

They were meaningless in yesterday's world too... the only difference is now we can PROVE that it's meaningless.

For what reason? I'd much rather play Minnesota than Edmonton, Seattle, Winnipeg or even Colorado.

Draft em but don't play em
I don't care who we play. There's no 'good' matchup. We can always rationalize good or bad away.
The better the seed, the better. Always root against the Pacific and for 2pt games in-conference.

Yeah I remember being thrilled we were going up against an expansion team in 2018.

Yeah I have my preferences of who'd I'd like to match up against, but honestly you just have to trust the team you have. We've played well since the all star break, all the lines seemed to have settled, with a few injuries here and there, and the goaltending has settled down. Powerplay has slowed down of late, but still plenty of time for it to fix itself.
I don't have to be happy about the player selection regarding Spence, Bjornfot and Kaliyev, but they are still keeping up with everyone in the division which is a good sign.
But ultimately results in the playoffs matter the most, and if it's another 1st round exit then it becomes a problem.

Thanks. Goaltending is my thing. I have played it for a long time and keep tabs on all goalies in the NHL.
