Friedman says he’s heard Arvidsson’s name out there on the trade block for the Kings to clear some space this summer.
Or a similar salary.

I like Arvidsson more than Iaffalo personally but RV is a ufa after this year.

Not like Kaliyev, Fagemo, Chromiak, and ALaff won’t be pushing for a spot or anything.

Moves got to be made if they want Gavrikov to stay.

It is known.

I like Arvidsson a lot but this is the right move. This would open up some cap they need to fill holes. Theyd also be selling high and can fill the spot from within. Kaliyev or Fagemo may be able to get into his spot and they can get a nice set of picks for Arvidsson to replenish the outgoing wave of prospects that has graduated to the NHL and guys that didnt make it like Madden and Thomas.
I think I remember Fagemo saying they make him watch video of Arvidsson a lot. Maybe thats who they pencil into that spot.

Ill 🤮 if they dump RV and keep the Durzler combo.

Yup, move Arvidsson so we can keep Iafallo. One or more of the 4M wings needs to go.

His constant shooting annoys some people, but putting the puck on the net & going for rebounds is never a bad idea.

Players always get overpaid as UFA's.

I wouldn't be surprised if he gets even more than that.

Gudbrandson absolutely sucks, and he got 5M last Summer.
With the cap barely rising for three straight seasons, I think few free agents get over payed like that this off season simply because of cap constraints. Too many teams need to move salary just to re-sign people. Chicago and Arizona can't take every cap dump. There will be some bargains to be had for guys that want to win.
 
It's not just the frequency of the changes, but also choosing something really bad each time.
Silver is not the color of royalty, its the color of Reno. Black is for ninjas, priests and morticians.
Purple and gold are the colors of royalty, and also look really good together so lets all agree thats what the main color scheme should be.
The crown depicted in many Kings' logos looks like something a cute little princess from a magical kingdom might desire. Let's design a crown that a King might actually wear. Construct it from golden hockey sticks, intertwined with two Stanley Cups.
There is just a ton of low-hanging fruit for the Kings uniform, a little thought and creativity in the world's greatest city for costume design, graphic design and show business should result in something spectacular, and worthy of the team name.
The crown looks exactly like St Edwards Crown.

I don’t think that affects the big names or even the middle tier. The lack of cap increase usually affects the lower impact players.
 
To Chicago:
Alex Turcotte
Cal Petersen
LA’s 2nd round pick 2024

To Los Angeles:
Tyler Johnson
I don’t get it. We get no cap relief for this year, and we already have too many forwards.

Chicago isn't looking to move cap. They're currently at 41M for next year. There's no benefit to them in moving Johnson's contract right now.
 
If you want to move Petersen and Walker you're going to have to swallow a hard pill.

To Chi:
2024 1st
2024 3rd
Petersen
Walker

To LA:
Future Considerations

Ouch.

Otherwise you keep him buried in the minors (3.8M cap hit). Or Blake finds a creative way to get rid of him.

That’s where Blake has some hits though right? He’s been pretty good at signing players to below UFA standards.
Another guy if target would be Dumoulin and pair him with Clarke and hopefully he has the same impact he had with Letang
 
Byfield, Kopi, Kempe
Iafallo, Danault, Moore
Fiala, Lizotte, Vilardi
Grundström, Kupari, Kaliyev
Fagemo, JAD

Mikey, Doughty
Gavrikov, Roy
Logan Stanley, Durzi
Moverare

Pheonix, Cal

Blake has had some good off-seasons. Really hoping he's able to pull something off. Not overly impressed with how next season is looking.

Side note: Maybe try Iafallo at 3C since he isn't going anywhere. :laugh:
 
Logan Stanley is a pylon get him outta here.
Yup, 6'6, 24 years old RFA on the cheap that's requested a trade. Big guys take longer, I'd hand him over to Greener & OD to see what they can do with him.

The list of large LD that make under 2 AAV (King's have no cap) is MacDermid & JmfJ. There are some good young D that aren't available.

Please let me know what large D the Kings can bring in on the left side that fits on the cap?

While we're at it
4.125, 11
5.5?, 3.15 (ufa 1 year)
1.7, ELC

Just too much on D, especially with Roy at 3.15 getting a raise after next season.
 
Kings need a nasty LHD to replace Edler (and will likely play with Spence and Clarke eventually) and a forward with some bite who dresses every game.

Mommy wants to re-sign Reaves and Duhaine - think Marcus Foligno is the odd man out. I would look at him.

I'm not sure what your mommy wants, but Hathaway could make some sense as a 4th liner.

He brings the attributes you want (size and toughness) but can actually play.

He'll be 32 this season, so I'm not sure how much gas is left in the tank, and we already have excess forwards.

The crown depicted in this photo looks slightly like the child's crayola drawing that is represented in your avatar. You are trying to defend that as our logo and it makes me sad that you think that is the best we can do.

I feel like Blake is just wasting time now. Just make a f***ing move and open up the cap.
It's funny too, because Blake started at the same time as Dubas did. Dubas has arguably been much more successful in his tenure with Toronto than Blake has been in LA, yet Blake seems to think he has an unlimited shelf life and no accountability coming for his mistakes.
