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

[King'sPawn]

I wasnt saying the should have kept Maatta. That kingsfan cat just keeps saying everything the Kings didnt do is impossible and stupid and everything they did do is pure genius.

Sorry if I conflated them. Piston asked why the Kings kept Edler over Maatta.

 

[Axl Rhoadz]

Got it.....not one media outlet came out and said Fiala was traded to LA........until.....it happened....

Maybe...just maybe....it wasn't reported because it didn't happen? Wait no.....f*** it, too easy, absolutely LA f***ed the dog because you KNOW they didn't try......

The hurdles some of you f***ing jump just to get pissed off is flat out f***ing amazing.....

People don’t spend hours a day, posting miles of nonsense because they have better things to do.

 

[Cianide]

The key with Vilardi is that he’s consistently attacking the net which is where wingers who play with Kopitar thrives.. add in his sick hands and he’d likely put up big numbers.

Moore - Kopitar - Vilardi

Fiala - Danault - Kempe

Iafallo - Byfield - Arvidsson

Grundstrom - Lizotte - Kaliyev

Maybe even swap Arvy and Kempe

I like today's lines. Plus I think Byfield needs to be surrounded by more talent.

The Edler over Maatta signing was a pretty simple choice. If nothing else, it's a straight dollar consideration, but Edler brings D and PK in a way that Maatta didn't, especially if they were going to use him in a depth role, and Edler 'fits' better with Clarke-Durzi than Maatta does. Though I liked the pairings when they were healthy of Edler-Roy and Maatta-Roy.

Nope.....not how it works here bud....9 games in...Edler is dogshit....and "Management" should have known this.....and not bring him back......because....crystal ball.....

I don't think anyone would even have a problem with Edler if there was another LHD in the mix, it just looks extra bad because of the imbalance between LHD and RHD

Probably not, you got Bjornfoot.....I gotta think he's gonna see NHL ice soon.......but its better for him playing 20-24 min than 12-14 right now so there is that

 

[Cianide]

I'm calling it right now... Byfield will be a 100+ point center for the Kings.

For a year or career?

 

[lumbergh]

I never understood why they kept Edler over Maata.

Two words. Salary cap.

What about people who spend hours a day whining about the nonsense?

 

[Cianide]

For a year or career?

Season by season.

 

[David Lunch]

Two words. Salary cap.

I’ll add another 3 words.

One - Year - Deal.

 

[DoktorJeep]

Did you want to find that extra $1.5m?

Buy out Walker and don’t qualify Moverare. Blake chose those options over bringing back last season’s #2 LHD.

 

[Axl Rhoadz]

 

[kinghock]

Did you want to find that extra $1.5m?

Yes, to trade Durzi for picks

 

[Mats26]

Buy out Walker and don’t qualify Moverare. Blake chose those options over bringing back last season’s #2 LHD.

Agreed. Walker and his cap should of been converted to pay for a LD man. I don't think he was tradeable though.

 

[kilowatt]

Only three guys on this team with a plus. Vilardi, Kupari, and Iafallo.

Two guys are tied for worst on the team at -4… Kopitar and Fiala. Not what you love to see

 

[Statto]

Buy out Walker and don’t qualify Moverare. Blake chose those options over bringing back last season’s #2 LHD.

I didn’t think he was officially fit until after the buyout window… it’s questionable if he is even now. If he’s injured they can’t buy him out IIRC.

 

[Axl Rhoadz]

Vilardi?

 

[Axl Rhoadz]

What about GABE VILARDI?

 

[Axl Rhoadz]

Nice job, Blake.

 

[Rick Knickleback]

I'd start Cal tomorrow.

 

[Axl Rhoadz]

I'd start Cal tomorrow.

I wouldn’t. We already tried the ‘play him next game to ride his confidence’ plan and it failed miserably.
