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

[Choralone]

Give Andersson boxing lessons. He's got the mean streak.

What's Brent Thompson up to these days?

Digital currency has value outside the top five economic powers. That beats local currency for around 5 billion humans.

So it’s not a Ponzi scheme. It’s just overvalued due to pure speculation. With exchanges (like crypto.com) also being traders (CRO), the market is built for grifters looking to take advantage of people hoping to get rich quick. It would be like the NASDAQ, if they had in house brokers.

The question is did AEG fall victim to grifters.

Half the country fell victim to one so ya never know. AEG must've done his research in this deal, Uncle Phil doesn't seem to be the kind to do risky partnerships. Still, if he only makes a million a year to have someone put their name there, he'll do ok over 20 years.

I don't see what the risk would be.

Crypto.com sends AEG money, AEG throws their name on the arena. Crypto.com can't pay the money anymore, AEG removes their name and sells the naming rights to someone else.

I don't think AEG really gives shit who the sponsor is. They'd sell the naming rights to Putin if he was the highest bidder.

Would any of y'all be interested in a Debrincat for a top 4 RHD, Kaliyev, and 2023 1st sort of deal?

Debrincat wouldn't work for us. We have too many forwards as is, and another big contract due would be problematic.

We really need a LHD and goalie.

 

[Kingspiracy]

zero interest for me.

Can you please remind us what OTT gave up to acquire him?

No - goalie or LD would spark a discussion.. we have enough scoring wingers signed and in the pipe

What's your offer for Chabot?

 

[ru4reals]

Gonna keep beating this drum

Yes except get rid of the chevy logo.

 

[AbsentMojo]

What's your offer for Chabot?

Im about to hit the shower. how about i think about it there and get back to you?

 

[AbsentMojo]

What's your offer for Chabot?

No offer.. He's 8m thru 27/28 .. we cant have 19M dedicated to the top pairing for 5 more years.

 

[FSL KINGS]

No offer.. He's 8m thru 27/28 .. we cant have 19M dedicated to the top pairing for 5 more years.

We should run Doughty, E. Karlsson 1st pair instead!!!

How long until Blake trades Walker for a 4th? Just got that feeling a disappointing Walker trade comes soon.

Vile Heinola is getting impatient with the log jam on WPG LD. He was selected a few spots in front of Björnfot so it's likely the King's scouted him. Doesn't seem NHL ready. Just an interesting name that might catch Blake's eye.

A bit off topic, except that it concerns the arena sponsor:

Crypto Drama: Mass of Transactions Leaving Crypto.com Wallets

Crypto.com: a mass of withdrawals are being processed on Ethereum wallets associated with the exchange, which is causing sepculation.

No thanks, our issue are lack of LHD and future goalie.

 

[Eagle Fang]

We have our future goalie in Peterson. The guy has a GAA over 4 and a SV % of .867 and is STILL 2 games over .500. Imagine all the villages that will burn when he really finds his game...

lmao It's not even going to make it to a year.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Okay I was thinking maybe a three way trade between Jets, Kings, and Sens?

Jets give up Dillon
Kings give up a good RHD.
Sens give up a forward.

Jets receive a forward.
Kings receive Dillon.
Sens receives the RHD.

Just curious what RHD the Kings would be willing to give up for Dillon?

Probably watching Sabres games to see his son Tage play.

This is exactly what I was pointing out the other day.

If the arena naming deal goes kaput in a year, it’s bad for AEG.

One, getting another sponsor to pay $700M is almost impossible. The Miami deal was for just under $200M.

Two, AEG has already spent and supposedly committed a nine-figure investment in arena upgrades which were planned to complete in 2024.

Three, 2024 is when the Clippers leave to their new arena.

Crowds are weak even after all the pandemic rules are gone and people are not flocking to LA Live because of the homeless shit show in DTLA.

Dan No-neckerman is going to have to lick the ground behind Taylor Swifts feet and beg her to take the naming rights for $150M. I’m sure he can offer to relocate Luc’s statute and put one up for Taylor to make up for the banner fiasco.

Doesn't really work for the King's.
Doughty, Spence, Clarke are a nope.
Walker probably not enough value
Durzi, need a puck mover until others are ready.
Roy, Dillon would be a lateral swap at best where King's get older.

King's probably look to move Walker, but need to free up cap & his value isn't great right now.

 

[KingsFan7824]

Kaliyev is currently almost as productive, with far less ice time per game, almost 4 years younger, already signed for next year, at an ELC rate. Of course the answer is no.

I think Kings will like Boucher, Kleven and Merilainen from Ottawa.

Physical forward, physical LD and very good goaltending prospect.

Ottawa expensive forwards are not needed in LA.

No thanks, our issue are lack of LHD and future goalie.

Also, physical forward like Tyler Boucher…

I'd honestly trade for Walker in offseason.

The Jets are 4th in the league, without Connor scoring goals yet, and Ehlers on IR. Assuming Ehlers will be back at some point, what's the incentive for the Jets here?

I know the Sens aren't off to the best of starts, and might be feeling some pressure, but teams don't really trade themselves out of a slump anymore.

For the Kings, they haven't played Clarke in a while, and just sent him down for some conditioning games. I don't think they're in any hurry to trade a RHD just because they have a bunch, despite the many calls for it to happen. If they were, it would've happened in July. And while not as good as Wpg, the Kings haven't started this season terribly.
