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

[KingsHockey24]

Eventually we'll have to get Kaliyev some more ice-time.

Not sure if resigning Moore does that.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Depends on the kind of year Moore has but we are likely giving him more opportunity and the chance to play close to home.

Who is going to offer him the combo of more money and opportunity and home? This is a little different than a normal UFA situation where the guy wants to head back to TO or whatever.

Also Anderson--look to Romanov and similar guys. He's gonna get 3.5-4 most likely and that's very, very fair for an emerging top-tier defensive d-man.

I will be the happiest person on earth if Anderson gets a mean-streak like Romanov and starts throwing his weight around.

Dimitri Filipovic, Cam Charron, and Thomas Drance ranked the Kings at the 10th most entertaining team to watch on the PDOCast. They said the Kings are basically the best team in the league at going north-south, but that they can't/won't move it east-west and that Fiala should help there.

Kaliyev, Fagemo, Vilardi Byfeild they all need to be moved into the top 6 down the road, or they get moved. We are not letting Moore walk for nothing. 100% sure he will get resigned. If Moore and Danault end up as our 3rd liners, that is a pretty solid team.

Problem is Moore is a UFA after this season while Arvidsson has another year (23-24) at $4.25M. Not sure we can keep both even for just a year.

Just saw a message that NHL may raise the salary cap by $4 million next year.

Bingo. It’s not a choice. One guy is a FA. Plus we have youth guys who need a seat at the table. Now if you can trade the Arvi and maybe AI, then you open up $$$ & a winger spot.

But guys like GV need a spot. He’s showing why. AK34 and others (Kupari, Fagemo, etc.) need to play next year. Otherwise send them out.

Sure seems like Clarke will be up all season.

 

[DrHansReinhardt]

Good stuff. I want to know what's on that pyramid behind Blake. Luc motioned to it as if its his version of Deans chart with boxes to check.

 

[lumbergh]

Sounds like Clarke will get at least the 9 games. Blake did mention how Clarke needs better competition, so that might suggest they're leaning towards keeping him up.

I thought the really insightful part was when he talked about his conversation with Doughty, how Doughty provided some insights. Doughty is right that Clarke needs to deal with oncoming forecheckers who are going to "finish him". That's one area Clarke definitely should try to improve on. He also mentioned a shift where Doughty and Clarke were on the ice together. I think that's a real possibility going forward, especially towards the end of a game. The two of them are the best on the team in escaping pressure on the defensive side and also very clever offensively. Putting them together could be pretty magical.

spitballing from what i think i can read but it's titled "la kings foundational pillars"

bottom looks like "chemistry, professionalism, compete, great teammate, structure"
left side "resistant, reluctant, compliant/competent, ______, compelling"
"do your job" at the top

i'm not gonna claim to understand why pillars are pyramid shaped but hey!

You have good eyes. Its pretty blurry on mine. I think you got the gist of it. Thanks

I wish they would talk about the pyramid.

I think fans would enjoy hearing about the pyramid.

If was able to zoom in on it. I guess you gotta keep that beach body down there in the South Bay.

That's your next assignment for a future podcast!

On another note, double hip replacement for Blake? Damn pro sports are tough on the body.

You better believe I've brought it up already!

 

[TruKingFan]

Clarke doesn’t have “NHL strength” as of yet. Pretty evident in his holding penalty in the 3rd I believe.

I’m torn whether to let him stay up. You can already tell he’ll be special….but the risk of injury is far greater at this time too…

 

[cyclones22]

I always associate something like that to John Wooden's pyramid of success. So it would be interesting to hear the Kings version.

I played roller hockey with John Wooden's grandson. He'd show up to watch our games and practices in mostly empty rinks and would just sit in the stands chatting with my Dad. By far one of the coolest sports experiences we've both had.

Seeing purple is getting me excited.

I like this idea... only thats going to be too many minutes for Clarke. Who would you put on the left side DD or BC?

I love the Kings, but if there's 22 teams less entertaining to watch than LA that's not a good sign for the league xD

Still can’t believe this pyramid was taught in schools once upon a time. Diabetes 101.

It's almost like it was propaganda put out by General Mills & Kellogg.
