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

[SaltyElkHunter]

I think we are going to see some bottom six players and older prospects moved. There are too many people competing for too few of spots and we have a lot of redundant players.

Lemieux
Arvidson
Walker
Iafollo
Like you said older prospects
Durzi trade bait?

Indeed

Although I think Iafallo stays because of intangibles. You could also probably add Lizotte , Kupari, and JAD to that list. Although I think JAD is also staying

I think Kupari is also staying.

Great deal. I’d have taken that on a 4 year deal. He‘s the type of player whose game ages well. He’s not overly physica, nor does he rely on blistering pace. He’s a smart, consistent D with untapped upside. Yes, it’s a lot of term but the cap will be much higher at the back end of it, and the salary wouldn’t be a major issue if you wanted to move him.

Hi my Kings friends,

Congratulations on re-signing/extending Mikey. Nice price for a guy who is a pain in the arse to play against & every Team wishes they had.

Be interesting to see what shakes loose as we approach the Trade Deadline

I want Kupari to stay lol

 

[unicornpig]

If they keep Cal in Ontario, which they should, that’s around $1.2 mill which should be enough for either Kupari or JAD.. also, Tonka needs to be moved

They'll need to get another net minder if they keep him in the ahl

 

[Lt Dan]

I want to him stay as well, but I figure that he has to be the most coveted prospect by other teams and you gotta give to get

I want to sing this everytime he scores for the next 15 years , but i can't see a scenario where he isn't the guy teams ask for if Byfield and Clarke are off the table




Kuuuuuuu-paaaaaaaaaaaaaarrr- eeeeeeeeh! Wo- oh -oh oh!

To add:

This will be an example of players trusting Blake and why he signed so cheaply for this year. I’d bet some of this was already structured.

 

[BigKing]

Eight years is pretty unexpected. Unlike Petersen, we've seen a much better sample size in both games played and importance of those games.

Still digesting eight years. Is there word on the NMC? I have to imagine taking the $4.1MM over eight years in California would come with a pretty decent NMC/NTC.

I’m earmarking Quickies salary for that spot

 

[Peter James Bond II]

Mikey said "I'm betting on myself" (for next contract) after signing the 1 year, 1 million contract.

Mikey's bet was a 33 million winning one.

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

Curious to where quick is at as far as if he thinks he is going to retire or not?

1. I can see him as a prideful dude to where if he doesn’t think he has it he’s not going to play.

2. Also see him as the type of guy that has the pride to not want to go out like this.

3. If he wants to play I really feel like the team would like to see him remote as a lifetime King.

4. Wonder if him kopitar and brown have the vision of all being forever Kings?

 

[bland]

I hate long term contracts.

Stay at homers are just about the only position worth locking up that long. Experience helps counter the mileage moreso than other roles.

I guess it has to go to Doughty? Should go to Danault.

I don't think there's any chance Quick plays next season unless he has a huge turnaround. No team will want him other than a cap invite. And he's not going to want to go though another season playing 2-3 games a month.

 

[cyclones22]

Mikey's contract is less risky than Moore's contract. He is likely going to be Clarke's partner in a few years.

 

[YAYSAY]

Better get used to it, seems like more and more teams are signing young players to long contracts

I can see him as a guy that definitely would like 1 last shot, but I can't see many other teams being interested in him unless he turns his game around. But looking at it from his perspective, at his age does he want to spend a season away from LA as a backup and uproot his his family just for one last kick of the can? I don't think so. I could absolutely see him retire if no offers come in.

 

[YP44]

I am sure Byfield and Clarke at peace with what was published but a few are probably losing a little sleep

ya was thinking more the Kupari's or even Vilardi level guys. Walker must know it is a possibility to make salary work

I hate long term contracts.

I don't long term deals helped save the cap for Carter, Richards and Quick

 

[AzKing]

I used to love guys like Norstrom back in the day who just anchored their area and the less you heard their name called, the more you knew they were doing their job.

Kind of an ironic post considering the Kings are quite literally still dedicating cap space to both Quick and Richards long after they helped the team win.

LHD! a rarity! He's captain there and of course, Laferriere is there. Mayor has been laying low and not predicting much this year, but said to expect Lafierriere to sign after their season....the Frozen Four is April 6....not sure if they will make it that far, but they are 17-6-1. Thrun played with Turcotte on the national team as well.

 

[No Name The Nameless]

I hate to do it to the guy right after signing but I would trade Moore in the off-season.
