Rumor: Planning Ahead: 2019 Off-Season

[The Tikkanen]

I can't think of a better coach for the Kings to hire than Tent Yawnney. His last name is what most kings fans are doing by the middle of the first period.

Good job, you made me laugh in a quiet office.

I like that his first trade is to get rid of Luc Robitaille. It sure set the tone for what type of crap to expect from the Kings for the foreseeable future.

Shit can we bring him back now? Would he still have the power to trade Luc? If so, I say pull the trigger.

Kopi looked like he was eating hot dogs and smoking cigarettes in the hall way the entire season.

For offseason moves, I think its interesting to see who is a client of agent Pat Brisson, who is a good buddy of Luc. There was speculation that Kopitar’s mega deal only happened after Dean was removed and other people in management took over negotiations.

No.

No no no.

No no no.

sounds like your on the fence a bit. ..understandable, but kissel's 82 points with lots on the pp and he doesn't need a great center to produce, would be a great fit for a few yr's.

It's possible, and it depends what Blake is actually trying to do, but Kessel doesn't help us get younger.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Phaneuf and Kovalchuk for Kessel seems fair, no?

 

[kilowatt]

That’s what I’m afraid of. Hopefully we don’t acquire Kessel.

This move would be so 1990's Kings, but since Luc actually believes those were the glory days...

Just waiting for Luc to bring back the chevron jerseys in totality at this point.

Kessel in LA with these guys? He would balloon up to about 250 within a month and by the time the season starts he'd be able to blend in with the average person sitting in the 300's.

I think if the Kings acquire any player, it will be 1 LHD or 2C. Do not think they will acquire another winger. Too many already.

Blake has only audibly named 1 specific position that must be better (in TM conference / or end of yr conf? No matter, 1 of the 2)
"we have to be better a second center" (Kings were worst in NHL at 2C and Carter is not the answer going forward - as in now)
And I would surmise they would want a good, capable D veteran (under 30) that can play with Doughty or at least 2 LHD.
He does not have to be top level elite type - just better than Forbort.

I think it's time to remove Forbort off top pairing and Iafallo off #1 LW.
Just do it. Both come up short at those positions, period.

I think the kings already made there move for 2c with Prohorkins I am really hoping someone takes over from forbot as drews partner

I honestly believe that Forbort is one of the biggest issues holding the team back. His inability to move the puck is a serious issue that ends up hurting the whole team. From beating a forecheck to the breakout to offensive zone pressure, having a guy who can't move the puck on the ice can throw the whole team off. Just look at the WOWY for this past season and you can see how much better the team played when Forbort was not on the ice. Forbort can be valuable, but he can't be logging top pair minutes against top pair competition.

never noticed the dude on the left f***in givin er on the treadmill

 

[Herby]

Problem with using this is that the guy in the best looking shape might have been the worst player on the Kings this past season.

Yes, for Tyler Toffoli? Gotta bring some fun back to this team.

don't be deceived, the guy is a freak of nature. never seems to get hurt, has a diet that would kill most, a bit of a goofball, but just keeps on scoring. pluss he'll put people in the stands, and as long as your not the coach you've got to love him
