Not only that, but apparently getting Turcotte, Vilardi, Durzi and a first wouldn't even excite, it would infact be depressing. I want no part of this Chychrun nonsense at anywhere near that value
I agree in principle but not for Chychrun, because it’s overpayment IMO. I think Vilardi has earned another look and whilst I don’t expect it to happen I’d sit AA to give him that shot. For this year I don’t think we need a big move at the TDL because it’s highly unlikely we go deep either way. So personally I’d move AA, call up Vilardi and if we make a move it needs to be for a physical LHD. I would then let the year play out, hopefully give the team a few games of PO experience and start the big push this off season. I expect we move a few guys that splits opinion on the board and we debate the merits of the various moves.
I’ve watch him a few times now and he really hasn’t impressed me. People can say it’s situational but given Ghost has been able to perform reasonably well it makes me question if he has ‘it’. I want players coming in that can raise their game in adversity. If he wants to get a move to somewhere like LA, that game should have been his best of the season not the garbage he delivered. Hence I think anything above Kupari +Gransis overpayment.
In this situation I don’t really think of the three lines as 1, 2,3. All three top lines would get 12-14 minutes at even strength. I just think that Byfield could really benefit from having a puck hound on his wing like Iafallo.
I’m fine with getting Kessel, but I think the Yotes are gonna want more, unless that pick is a #1. AA does nothing for them unless they can flip him for a #2 or #3.All right, I say we send AA + a pick to Arizona for Kessel. He’s a playoff monster on an expiring deal, he gets to stay in a market where he won’t be recognized outside of the rink, and I just really want a Kessel Kings jersey.
I think contract price savings.If Vilardi started pulling a Kempe and lightening it up,the Kings negotiations position wouldn't be good and wouldnt be able to resign Vilardi to a cheap extention.
There is no money to sign a Laine.Some of that cap is already spoken for to resign some of the kids and Kempe is getting a raise. Who are you going to trade that has the value to make a trade work and not make another hole? Kings got holes to fill in the offseason. Mayor did a whole article on it breaking it down.
I had them at 97 points, but it was for a season and a half.
Laine would work capwise if they send Roy/Walker and Iafallo in the package back the other way along with the futures Columbus wants. Would have to be an offseason move. If they think Clarke can replace Roy on the second pair and Laine comes in for Iafallo in the top six.
That sounds awful.
Yea I am not saying they should do it but I think thats what it would take to get him and fit him in the cap. Probably on top of a prospect and first.
There have been a few mentions by the Kings staff that they are looking at him returning in March, possibly after the trade deadline (March 21). Edler has an NMC for those thinking about the deadline.
Unfortunately I have.. I moved to Vegas and between going back to LA, Vegas and Phoenix I gotten either free tickets or super cheap tickets when the Avs played the Yotes… VGK tickets are damn expensive.. Also saw the wild game versus the shorks in SJ.. the wife is a sharks fan from the bay and my brother in law is a Knights fan
