Well this would be more in line with Blake, Kings have taken the stance of not giving up assets for UFA's The anti Dave Taylor model. So a trade with Columbus probably would not happen as they would want 1st rounders etc.

Unless of course they can get Korpisalo to sign an extension.

which seems like a good fit for him (and us) for a goalie of his age and our pipeline. maybe we can get him for like a 3 or 4 year deal and try to develop our next starter? Gives him a chance at being the #1 for a team that should be competitive the entire time.

Blake is a total idiot. Honestly. Even if you’re not acquiring players just f***ing trade some RD for some picks at least. We don’t need f***ing Walker.

He quashed the Clarke rumour a couple of weeks back FWIW.
And he said that the Holtz was the main piece of the Meier trade and then 10 mins later he wasn’t even involved in the trade lol

Youd think Walker would have marginal interest as a depth Dman.

Nobody wants him...
 
It's fun to watch teams get annoyed as f*** with Armstrong in real-time

There's no contenders reportedly left bidding for Chychrun, so no desperation here. That leaves us and a bunch of rebuilding teams that will be loathe to give up big assets.

Can't wait for the post-deadline backpedaling of "we didn't want to trade him anyway" to try to save face and value

Someone should tell Pagnotta that we ain't contenders, we lost to a team with only 4 Dmen and got a loogie for it. Stay away from overpayments, save the cap space and go hard after cap strapped teams and develop the damn kids properly.

It's not that no one wants him, it's that no one wants him at the $2,650,000 cap hit the next two years. Only way he is leaving the Kings is if he goes back to match Salary or getting bought out or waived.
His contract is buyout friendly for the Kings in the summer - even better than retaining on his salary for a late pick.

The question is why you would delay multiple immediately better options for a player with very little upside. Walker is a nice 3rd pairing defender, that's it.
 
I see the BlueJackets are holding out Korpisalo and Gavrikov...Is LA their next home...who's going the other way...Turcotte,Walker or Roy,Grundstrom,Madden,Lemieux,Grans,...2nd rounder in 2024...but what else...what will it take for Columbus to bite...both Gavrikov and Korpisalo are UFA at seasons end,maybe LA trades them a few prospects not named Chromiak and be done with it
 
The Kings would be instantly better tomorrow if they benched Walker and called up Spence. Hell play Toby with Spence and sit Edler too while you're at it.
You mean you don’t like management sabotaging the team????

...

1-Montreal has a game @ LA
2-Edmundson is scratched
3-Bowlby
4-Marc Bergevin
Get out
 
I don’t get why Walker plays. He isn’t terrible but there are better options. Guess they are stuck with him.
