Speculation: LA Kings Offseason Thread

[Sol]

God damn do i ever hate the constant linking to PLD. I am nervous as shit that Blake is going to blow his wad on this toolbag.

What will you do when you find yourself at TeamLa with his jersey in your hand as you stand in the check out line?

Why would I buy a Habs jersey at TeamLA?

We actually might have the softest roster in the entire league now that ball sack has been moved to the desert.

Kings have 9 million in cap space. PLD will want 9 million. How does this make sense?

Bunch of RFA’s to sign so it’s gonna be a few million less than 9.

Don't worry, it could be someone from the Flames. Doesn't have to be PLD.

I really don't think this is a good idea. I think this is one we would regret.

What the f***.

Told you. The Kings will move Vilardi in the PLD deal. Winnipeg only has a handful of forwards signed thru this year, so likely more forwards will be included in the deal.

Kings have no more D.

Also, listening to all the podcasts this summer, particullarly the ones with Yanetti, I think the Kings will try and sign Freddie Anderson. He will be cheaper than Jary.

Only guys with trade value are Kempe and Vilardi. We all know that Vilardi is the only true piece that could move. Despite him breaking out, he screwed up by getting inured yet again and didn’t produce down the stretch when BLuc’s reps are on the line.

Now he’ll want at least $3M+ for a one year deal out of arbitration. No way Blake wants to put up with this headache any longer. He wants a headline that fills the stop gap need in PLD.

These clowns have been throwing whatever at the wall for 6+ years and calling it a plan. More and more Kings fans are seeing that the emperor wears no clothes.

Whenever you hear someone say there have been no talk between the two parties, you know it's over....

 

[Kudelski37]

Trading Vilardi now would be beyond stupid.

You're doing a "told you" on something that hasn't happened? LOL.

Kings also have 16 forwards if they qualify all their rfa’s.

They need to move at least 2 out.

And make a spot for Kyle Clifford.

Not if the medical staff has determined this player is not going to have a long and reliable career, and his agent is demanding something stupid.
Everyone seems to overlook the specter of injury with this guy when its literally looming over him at all times like a Nazgul.

 

[FSL KINGS]

Vilardi getting PP1 & top 6 min will put up points.

PLD is 25 with 434 regular season 38 playoffs games

Vilardi 24 b4 next season 152 regular season 7 playoffs

PLD makes the team much better even if Vilardi can outscore him.

 

[Schrute farms]

I’d hold onto Kaliyev and Gabe. They’re the ones with the most to prove IMO so their value is not accurate right now.

I'm ok sending AK34 out -- because we're never going to use him correctly. No way i give Gabe, QB or Clarke in a deal for PLD. Two of AK, Kupari, AI, Arvi, Moore and a 2024 2nd is about the max i'd do.

 

[Sol]

I have ZERO clue why anyone would f***ing trade Vilardi. what the f***?

The medical staff is probably the least competent part of the organization. That sort of comment from them would likely point to a wonderful career for Vilardi.

Frolov is coming back.
