Ive soured on Vey along with some other folks that watch a hefty amount of Monarch's games.

Vey's game fell off the radar after he got sent down again. It just fell apart; then he seems not able to get his face-off's at even average.

Vey has a ways to go if the Kings are hell bent on him being a Center.

Yeah, he seemed to pout, imo. Don't think anyone will stand for that. I get the feeling he won't be back. Just a gut, though. But I'm also less enamored with him than others, I think he's a dime-a-dozen tweener 2nd/3rd liner, Teddy Purcell Jr.
 
is there a max no. of contracts we can have under the cap.
I.E We have 20 signed - If Mitchell doesn't resign can we re-sign King, McNabb , Vey , Andreoff and Shultz if we wanted - so 25 players and under the cap
or is there a max no. of players we can have under the cap ??

Every NHL team can have 50 NHL contracts, and 23 of them can be active on the NHL roster.

You can only dress 20 a night though.

One problem Vey has is the skill set, his is turning out not suited for Center(my opinion).

Especially if you watch Vey take a regular shift after seeing Nick Shore take over the ice when he gets on it.

Nick Shore is Jarret Stoll, with superior Vision/Hands
 
So 4C for next year

Richards: needs to be on a higher line... wasted time with Clifford/Lewis

Lewis: Much better wing

Fraser: Could resign ... do not want.

Andy: ???

Weal/Shore: ??? Are they ready for the NHL yet?

Nolan: Has played C before... didn't go well if I remember.

Prokhorkin: Wing or Center? Will he make it over from Russia

UFA

Vey: ???

It isn't being enamored with Vey... He is probably still the best option to start the season. May not work out....
 
There won't be room for him at the start of the season, but I think a lot of people are writing off Jordan Weal. Easily the best Monarchs center. He's a takeaway machine, great distributor, and knows what to do with the puck on his stick. Much better prospect than Andreoff and maybe Shore.
 
thx for the answers - so sounds like if we sign King and McNabb we will be losing one of Vey or Andreoff - both if we sign a Shultz etc instead.
I think at the draft we will have a few players that are available if a team wants them and will swap picks. I.E Somebody with the 25th gives us their pick for our 29th and a player (I.E Vey, Nolan or Andreoff etc)
 
First, Mitchell worked out better for the Kings than anyone could've hoped for, and he owes nothing to the franchise.

He's 37, and now has 2 Cup rings. I don't know if he wants to take a pay cut. He doesn't even have to do it to get a ring anymore. He can still probably get a multi-year deal from someone. I bet the Kings would do it if both Muzzin and Martinez weren't up for new contracts next year. They're both a decade younger than Mitchell. If they Kings want to keep both, and I don't know why Lombardi wouldn't, they're going to have to pay them. If the Kings keep those two, and McNabb turns into a player, that's your left side of the defense, and Mitchell has no place to play anyway.

I imagine Stoll will be the 4th center. If the top 2 lines stay together, that leaves Williams on the 3rd line, and if Richards gets into shape, that combo could work along with King digging in the corners.

No, no, no...we don't have to lose anybody. McNabb, Vey and Nolan can stay with Kings as HS.

Andy can go to AHL without waivers so he can't be lost, and Kings would wave Schultz and send him to AHL if needed-anybody could take him from waivers but it's minimum risk for Kings.

Only problem would be if Kings resign Mitchell, that would force some kind of move or trade (in that case Kings have 24 players on roster, one has to go fown, and all of them have to go on wavers before going down to AHL-unlike Schultz it would hurt Kings to lose any of young players for nothing))

This was the guy I always had high hopes for http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=23719
 
If I was Lombardi, I don't bring Mitchell back, I thank him for his service and let him choose his next place.

I run with Regher, Green and McNabb as your 3rd pairing D,

And you rotate McNabb in to keep both Regehr and Green healthy and fresh.

There is a reason why we acquired McNabb and it wasn't for him to sit.

Yeah McNabb ain't sittin. He may be a HS periodically, but he should play majority of the games. Btw, you left off Amart.
 
Assuming we go with a 23-man roster, looks like we'll have about $2.5 to $3 million in cap space once everyone is signed. Then assuming Regher leaves after next year and the cap goes up a bit, seems like there should be enough to re-sign Martinez, Muzzin, Williams, Stoll (for less), Toffoli and Pearson if DL wants to and still be under the cap. And the only real contract to worry about the year after that will be Kopitar's.

Good cap management.

This relies on two defensive prospects breaking through and claiming top six roles (or even top five, since Greene should be the sixth defenseman).

Weal seems to make his wingers scoring machines. I'd love to see a graph showing goal production of wingers before and after being put on Weal's wing. I'm curious.

I didn't see Schultz returning. Wasn't he insurance on Mitchell's knee? He improved his reputation in the playoffs, I'd imagine, so maybe another team might sign Schultz to a one-year?

Philly has been doing that for years and it's worked out well for them, hasn't it?

ETA: is it me or do the Stanley Cup t-shirts make the wearers look like they've been impaled? I half expect a dramatic death scene and Final Destination 6 credits to roll.
