Blake scrambling to sign him as our sandpaper. All 4 feet of him.
Moore - Lizotte - Yamamoto

Hathaway is the only potentially cheap winger I see that really fits what LA needs.

Right shot, good defensively, wins board battles, gives you some size and a bit of grit.

Guys like Kassian are "tough" but suck ass at hockey. We need guys who can actually play.

We can lovingly nickname the line "the runts"
The idea being ants can bring down elephants
Publicity pics with the chief runt- our very own todd maclellan. Legend.

Stop with Wheeler who is 37 and Yammy, Kings need size and grit.
On one shift last year i saw wheeler turn the puck over 4 times!

Even if you sign a goalie to a 1M contract, the Kings are still at or over the cap with a 21 man roster.

Kassian is just an old fat guy now. Last couple of fights I saw he got rag-dolled.

If Fiala doesn’t get hurt, he was on his way to an 80+ point season, and I think he’ll get there in the upcoming season.

Fiala - Dubois - Kaliyev has all the making of a classic all offense line.. Health permitting, I wouldn’t be shocked if KF and PLD flirt with triple digit point totals

The point is he fights, name the last 10 King fights???

That's quite a spin considering both legends he's moving on from are in the final years of their contracts and hitting career lows.

Context doesn't matter. Where have you been? Kane and Toews are both 30 with 5 years left on their $10m deals right now. Don't you know that? The Hawks have a GM that makes the tough choices. Imagine what a GM that knows what he's doing will get in trades for Kane and Toews in a couple hours before free agency starts. Those moves are going to be great.

Bjugstad is a right shot who also plays RW and is decent defensively. He's big, but not overly physical. Can be at bit of jerk at times.

Wouldn't be a bad option for bottom 6 RW IMO. Can play center if there's an injury.

Where is this cap space coming from?

As others have stated already even if we signed a goalie for 1.5M we won't have any room to fill out the roster.

Especially when Bjugstad is coming off a good year and will be looking for a raise. We gotta be looking at the garbage bin for names like Sabourin.
