Speculation: LA Kings News, Rumors, Roster Thread part VII

[redcard]

I think he might miss some time.

 

[Telos]

Losing Bjornfot is pretty costly. He was our most competent defender remaining on the blueline. We really are not that far away from having a complete Ontario Reign blueline.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

You know it's a voodoo doll because they've left Olli Maatta alone.

 

[The Butcher]

This is starting to remind me of one of those Andy Murray seasons the Kings had either broke or came close to breaking to record for man games lost. A lot of us starting pointing fingers at the medical / training staff.

I would argue we are there. The 6 Dmen who started the year are now injured.

 

[YP44]

I remember one shift where he just constantly pummeled, a lot more of this thing where the puck just explodes off his stick, opposing D continuously breaking up any move he tries....and then ultimately he had an opportunity to redeem himself in the shootout and can't even get a shot off.

yes, overall the line was good...but I've seen Byfield play better.

I thought he had a couple of good stick cheques last night and was not afraid of taking a hit to make a play.
There are going to be good and bad with all youth, nothing really stuck out to me last night on either side with him

And the one guy who didn't start the year in Ontario is a guy everyone was begging to be sent there.

maybe the right ankle?

maybe the right ankle?

It didn't look so bad when it happened - he didn't seem to be in much pain but definitely couldn't put any weight on it. These injuries can be so hard to guess.

And Arvidsson and Mikey Anderson's did not look so bad, either.

 

[HookKing]

All those injuries at once made last night's game a watershed moment. TM is right -- they're one big team now. The looks on Vilardi and Kupari (and others like Toby) all night long said it all: "WE ain't shavin' in cold water".

 

[Little Psycho]

Better be paper transaction

 

[Telos]

Frk made the biggest mistake of his career scoring that goal But yeah, hopefully, they are just saving cap money.

Has to be that. I'm a big Frk supporter so I hope he gets some time with the big club, especially on the PP where he shines.

When does Ontario play? Do they need the bodies before LA plays tomorrow?

 

[HookKing]

Looks like they don't play till Friday. Maybe Doughty returns?

 

[kilowatt]

Ontario doesn't play until Friday. These are likely just paper transactions for cap reasons, unless LA knows a few guys are coming back from injury.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Josh Manson to Colorado for not much.

Buyers market this season?

 

[King'sPawn]

That's a very good return for Anaheim.

 

[Stimpythecat]

The Kings really needed the off day today.

On another note, lots of Kings talk in this video.

 

[Herby]

Shit, mine as well put Durzi as 1st line C, throw Quick on the wing.......makes about as much sense.

Is there the need to make the extra little pot shot comments?

And what is so awful about his lines? The first line has been awful as has the third line, the 2nd and 4th have been great but two guys are injured on it. Kempe has been bad for 10 games now, Iafallo has been awful for a half a season, why do they automatically get to keep first line roles? With so many new guys up why is it so ridiculous to blender up the lines?

None of these injuries are training staff related though. I don't think TM could push the players that hard anyway. Murray was pre-cap.

 

[Stimpythecat]

The Kings really needed the day off today to heal up.


On a side note, there is a lot of Kings talk in the video.

Better be paper transaction

@Statto pointed out this morning that the waiver eligible guys don't need to be waived again until they are on the roster for 30 days or 10 games played. Sending these 3 players down today and calling them up tomorrow saves one of those 30 days and a little bit of cap space.
