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

[kingskring]

Sounds like it already did. Read Quick is pissed.

Lets wait to hear that confirmed by the local kings media. And the fact we did not hear anything about the locker room after the game has me doubtful

 

[Nasti]

How would anyone know Quick is pissed this early?

Exactly

Text messages are a pretty easy way to find out.

After having experienced Lombardi's inability to deal from a place of loyalty, it is somewhat refreshing to see Blake be a bit of a cutthroat. Would be nice if these were the players to help address the Kings' needs.

Quick will always be a legend, it's just business right now.

 

[Herby]

Why would anyone think Siravelli would be lying about this?

Yeah, lets let the great and honest people who cover the Kings to confirm it. I'm sure they will be more than willing to report something that makes the management look bad, they have a great history of doing that, digging deep and asking tough questions.

I assume you have not actually read local La Sports media.

They can rip a team when they deserve it and have ripped the kings in the past

Ok now do 3rd in 2023, 1st in 2024, walker, and durzi for chychrun

Anderson-doughty
Chychrun-Roy
Gavrikov-spence
Edler

 

[KINGS17]

Quick is perhaps the most competitive player to ever wear a Kings uniform.

Makes me wonder what we can get for our 2C next season at the deadline.

I don't like wasting a first round pick on a trade that isn't going to move the Kings any closer to true contention. If Quick is pissed, some of it may be he probably knows this deal matters not in the outcome of this season.

Thats the thing. They still arent complete. Even with Gavrikov and Korpisalo they need another left dman and bottom six center with size and they probably have to move out Walker and Lemieux.

 

[dman3474]

If it goes through as said, that will open up another 1.7m in cap. Plenty of room if they are planning a Chychrun move.

Chychrun AND Bjugstad were scratched...

I feel like if you are trading Quick like that and the 2023 first for rentals you have to go all in and do the damn thing. Best case scenario is a one and done like St Louis but it is what it is.

Did we move Lemieux?



CapFriendly is rarely if ever wrong about these things.

On the broadcast they said he was dealing with a personal issue.

Hopefully it's "Flying home to Scottsdale" as part of a trade

Kings have no toughness. Lemieux is the only gritty Kings player - they need him.

We need to trade for gritty

 

[kilowatt]

Well, I'll take a stab at it now...

Byfield - Kopitar - Kempe
Moore - Danault - Arvidsson
Fiala - Lizotte - Vilardi
Iafallo - Kupari - Kaliyev
Grundstrom, JAD

Anderson - Doughty
Gavrikov - Durzi
Edler - Roy
Walker

Korpisalo
Copley



Edit: Good call, forgot Kaliyev.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Kings aren’t done. They need a 3c.

Also, Moore is on IR and wouldn’t be shocked if he’s done for the year.

Kings need to put back together the 4th line of Lemieux-Lizotte-Kayilev. You forgot Kayilev.

Kupari is waiver exempt - back to AHL.

Kings then pick up a 3C with some grit like Max Domi.

 

[Statto]

Have to think a big move may be on the cards as part of clearing space, if so the trade makes more sense. Playing devils advocate (I hate giving up multiple 1st rounders) but the Quick move actually makes more sense if we also get JC in a move that costs us the ‘24 1st. It would then actually be a proper attempt to go for it, given how open the West is. The roster as is get booted in the 2nd round, most likely (depending on final seeding). I’m not saying I’d like it but I’d understand it. So if we get another LD or a 3C I’d see the thought process because the WCF becomes a realistic target.

If we end up the losing guys as rentals and we fall short I could see a retool happening very quickly if there’s no pay off. It could also easily cost BLuc their jobs, especially if we don’t get out of the 1st round and don’t sign either of our rentals.

 

[No Name The Nameless]

Nope. Don’t like it

 

[Cook24]

If we were only making this one move couldn’t we have just sent walker and a 1st and maybe a 4th or 5th to cover the extra year of walkers contract? Or I guess they didn’t want to carry 3 goalies…

Agree, we should have been able to tell Columbus what they are taking back, and they will like it......

But.....here's a hint....trades don't work like that.
