The Kings biggest nemesis is the entire Oilers team and Matthew Tkachuk.

Oilers aren't a problem. They've peaked & headed down. Campbell & Nurse contracts, dear lord.The Kings biggest nemesis is the entire Oilers team and Matthew Tkachuk.

Also, make some trades!!!!! Trade a 7th for Lucic's ufa rights!!!!
Praying for 40+ AHL games for Turc this next season
If he can play nearly a full season (should also be in a position to handle big minutes in Ontario), he actually might still have a shot at an NHL career.
I know many are considering him a complete and total bust already (and I don't blame you at all at this point) but if he can stay mostly/fully healthy over this next year, then the Kings sign him to a 1 year 'prove it' deal..... Who knows, maybe he can end up being a Jarret Stoll type bottom sixer after all??
And before anyone quotes me telling me how crazy it is to suggest that... I already know lol
I’m gonna be so f***ing stoked if it ends up showing at the NHL level on any kind of consistent basis.

I’ve been told the only thing that matters is the number of goals he scored as a 20 year old.

I like how a select few on here keep bringing up Eichel in an “I told you so“ fashion as though it‘s been universally agreed upon that the Kings should have traded for him. It’s like these people want to sound super smart, not realizing that we still don’t think they should have traded for him.

F-ing get up and hunt! Cmon Todd!
100% - f PLD. Blake cant bail the water out faster than its coming in. And Factor in you have EDM and VGK at their peaks, chasing the pipe dream of building around 11 and 8 one last time is complete comedy... only question is, who will they lose to in next seasons 1st around and how many games. Its even more galling when you see whats happening in the OC with the core they have and adding Fantilli... they have work to do, but that core is looking solid. The most likely outcome is Kings are the perennial 3rd place team for another 2 seasons and then begin a decline into total mediocrity... Only hope is a couple of 55, 13, 39, 92 become *super* stars.
I find it funny that all you guys will have your foot in your mouth about Byfield next year.
He is f***ing 20 years old

Literally everyone here wants Byfield to breakout next year. You’re tilting at windmills, Quixote.

If given the choice between hoping/wanting Byfield to break out and trading him for an older player because they think he's a bust/disappointment, there are definitely people in the latter category. Not saying you.
But it's the same circular arguments and the offseason's young. We'll still see plenty of it going up to preseason and possibly beyond.

We were right there
Yeah this is as close to openly rooting for a prospect's failure as I've ever seen this forum and that's saying something with our history
Yet it's many of the same people that were spitting absolute venom about Vilardi sooooo
And it's not so much about being right/wrong as it is being a total shitface to your fellow fans
Hellebuyck wants Vasi type numbers in 9.5? Welp that was a fun dream time to move on from that one.

Yup, if anyone is actually willing to sign him to that money...good luck finding a backup who can play enough where so Helle isn't tiring later in the season

I often eat my feet. I didn’t think Vilardi was going to break out either but I was happy to be wrong.

Do you prefer a balsamic reduction or a sausage gravy with feet?
director werner herzog was forced to eat his shoe due to a gambling loss.
true.

It’s ok to be critical of Byfield. Most of that will forever be tied to Stutzle going one pick later. Funny thing is that neither we’re taking first.
Byfield becoming a center is also a key factor for me. He was drafted really as an heir apparent like it or not.
He has shown signs of progress. I still think he can become something special if he puts it all together.
He’s young and has had injuries others haven’t had to deal with in his top ten.
Next year he needs to be an offensive factor and key piece for LA to compete.

With Byfield it is not only, "does he make it", he needs to become a young star in the league. Hopefully hitting 80+Pts and becoming what he was projected.... our future 1C. As a #2 overall draft pick he will always have these types of expectations and pressure, some kids relish it, but some can't handle the pressure. Big year for him. Needs to increase his points production, be more assertive and show he can handle being on the top line, PP but also play some C during the season.
