Rumor: Planning Ahead: 2019 Off-Season Part 2

[Ziggy Stardust]

I’m so sick of grey that I no longer want to see it as part of any future uniform.

I'm also not in to having gray as a primary color in the jersey. Much better as silver and as used on the Chevy jerseys and the current primary ones: every 3rd that is all gray flat-out sucks.

I'd be down for a refresh of the uniforms as they exit this post-Cup era malaise and start injecting fresh, young talent. They did it to welcome the Gretzky era, they did it to exit that era/head to Staples and then to move away from a garbage era as they built towards the future.

While the crown is much better than the home plate, I feel they would want to retain something from the cup era so we are talking the colors or the logo. This is all a moot point though since Luc is Mr. Monochromatic.

Carter and Kovy are unmovable IMO unless the Kings sweeten the pot. But I would rather give Kovy his unconditional release than try to trade him since he has a full NMC. Carter can be waived and assigned to Ontario if unclaimed. If he refuses an AHL assignment and retires, the Kings save on his salary but will still take cap hits on his recapture till 2022.

Toffoli is TRASH and needs to be emptied at the nearest dumpster.

Grundstrom has to get a legit shot at that ice time.

Talk about recency bias.

Talk about recency bias.

Let’s see if Carts can return to form after his injury a few years back. Also, maybe Toff can bounce back with a real coach this year. We’ll see. They both might crash and burn, who knows.

Have we considered that maybe Luc only sees in greyscale and he's actually trying to give us a green and gold scheme

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I think they may have gone a bit overboard with that beard.

I think they just took a shortcut and re-used the Henrik Zetterberg model right down to the stats

I’ve given up on the EA NHL series. It’s been the same shit every year. I’ve been getting more enjoyment playing the older NHL games on PC, like 2002, and playing as the Kings team that pushed the Avs to 7 games.

Seems like Kopitar has been training with Finnish team Tappara. They held a training camp in Slovenia and Kopitar's camp asked if he could join their morning skates to get some time on ice before LA camps start.

Kings are in at least the top 5 for Pronman's farm system rankings.

Anyone going to the State of the Franchise dealio tonight? I hope several are and to get copious notes! Ask some good questions...like "can you deliver Quinton Byfield to us?"
"if Carter is waived and reports to Ontario, will this be bad for the youth there?" but end with "thank you all, for a stellar 2019 draft, well done!" (give some deserved credit)
seriously, first 4 picks were awesome - Turcotte, Bjornfot, Kaliyev, Fagemo....and Parik, Spence, Nousianen all great picks too.

I like that Bjornfot and Fagemo are signed and their Swedish teams can't sign them now! That's HUGE. (whether or not both play one more year there) This will prove to be great for the Kings.

Oh, cool, now he's free to muck around with other teams but when I ask him to fill in for Gary the goalie on our beer league team all he says is "my contract won't allow it" and "how did you get this number?"

About Damn Time

I was just about to post this. It's about damn time. Should've done it back when they were winning.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I know many here will find this news upsetting.

Perhaps Forbort took one for the team and swapped back bits with Villardi

Agreed. Monochrome sucks. The 2 colors of the past: gold and / or purple; are both 'royalty colors' and not bad colors, when compared to the Sharts teal, Oilers orange, or the Avalance maroon! There must be a way to incorporate 1 or both into a more cool and cutting edge jersey. Black, silver and purple work together. That one jersey with LOS ANGELES at the bottom was not horrible and had those colors, but could be reworked into some kind of scheme.

It's Evil Kopitar from the mirror universe. He spends all his time boarding people and delivering flying chicken wings.

I don't know where to post this but HOLY **** FROLOV IS BACK IN LA!

...and of course has the most stylish shoes of the bunch. Good to see Bob in the photo!

There's two things that bother me, Taxes and Forbort. God damn it.
