Walker is the odd man out unless they move him to the left side. Some peeps are gonna have to be traded. Wonder if Edler has another year in him...
 

Because age.....thats literally the only reason not to look at Giordano right now.... forget how good he is, forgot how he's a pure rental, forget the cost (shouldn't give up a 1st at all etc) but.....omg no he's 38 or however old he is
 
Roy could net a first from a team that has legit Cup aspirations at the TDL.

Sekera value wasn't crazy at all. Guy was eating 20+ minutes a night. Contenders toss 1st round picks at the TDL to shore up a perceived area of weakness all the time.

Roy is playing ~21 minutes a night this season. 27 years old with a good cap number for the rest of his term. Built for the playoffs type guy with his physicality.

In the 21-22 Kings season that you're watching, are they not currently in a playoff position? Are they the 5th worst team in the league in your version? Is Danault a King in your reality, or is there a completely different roster, and that's why you're talking about trading a guy that's built for the playoffs?

Why stop at Roy at the deadline? Kempe's value isn't going to get higher than right now. Retain 50% on that deal, and who knows what a contender would give you. Arvidsson has no protection. Retain some on that, and right now he's a 30g/60pt winger. A contender will give something for him too.

Since the team is supposed to be winning any games yet, let's get ready for 3 years from now.

The Kings have played hard and are tied for 3rd in the Western Conf. If they sell, that shows no confidence in the team from management....and also shows no loyalty to players they drafted or signed and developed; Kempe, Roy.

The Kings do not need more prospects - they have many blue chippers in (I consider Byfield and Kaliyev graduated) - Clarke, Turcotte, Vilardi, Chromiak, JAD, Madden, Faber, Spence, Grans, Helenius, Fagemo, Pinelli....why get more prospects?
Unless they are of the level of Byfield, Kaliyev, Clarke and ready next year, elite types and I don't think any team would part with their best prospect.

It's time to be buyers and get more 23-28 year old, solid NHL players that preferably have term. It's no guarantee that 1 of Calgary or Colorado win the west and go to the finals.
Anything can happen...like TBL losing 4 straight to the CBJ a few yrs ago. If the Kings are healthy and can add a Chychrun or scorer, anything can happen. Matters not
how close the Kings are to contending - they have taken a huge step this year...why not take another? No reason to take a step back.

That D is what most people are clamoring for....exception of Doughty etc.

Where?

Where are people "clamoring for" a Maata-Roy top pair? I don't think I've seen a single person suggesting a Spence-Moverare bottom pair, if someone has and I've missed it I hardly think it qualifies as "most people clamoring for."

And even if they were "clamoring for" it.....except for the best player etc is one hell of a qualifier but maybe I just don't have enough rec league trophies to jump to the right conclusions.
