How does logic tell anyone that Kopitar is worth $72M+ over 8 seasons, starting next year at age 29?

That is called blind faith. Kopitar's game is in decline. Most people here see it, some are not willing to acknowledge it.

Blind Faith? So trading a soon to be UFA Kopitar and hoping for a huge return and retooling on the fly isn't blind faith?

Again, it depends on what you get in the trade. You obviously don't trade Kopitar for a bag of pucks or without a plan. You don't hope for a huge return when you make a trade. You either like the return or you don't make the trade.

He's not worth 9 or 10 million but he will get it somewhere unfortunately

It sure seems that way. If Kopitar is going to insist on it, then I think the Kings should let him get it somewhere else.

It will be nice to get Dwight King back in the lineup. Probably take him about 5-7 games to get back up to game speed. After that though, King should be good.

Who is coming out of the lineup iyo to fit king back in? What your lineup looking like?

It will probably be Nolan or Andy.

Pearson/Kopi/Gabo
Lucic/Carter/Toffoli
King/Shore/Brown
CLifford/Lewis/Nolan/Andy/Weal

Probably look something like that. Lewis will move around from Third/Fourth line Center/Winger, like he always does.
 
King is so bleh. Another big guy who doesn't take full advantage of his size. Yeah, sure, he's ideal for Sutter's system, but King needs to play with little more fire. He'd be much tougher to play against, if he was a bit more like his older bro.

His older brother was a plug, that is not even playing Hockey anymore. D.J. King, was a terrible hockey player.
 
I'd rather someone come in and be productive on the bottom six, rather than bring more physicality.

The Kings bottom six has plenty of Grit, it lacks production mightily right now.
 
HYORI 1963 said:
And I'm saying I want both production and physicality. Anything wrong with that?

No, but it's not going to come from Dwight King, he has never been an overly physical player, nor is he ever going to be.

The Kings don't have any really physical/productive players in the AHL.

That's not Mersch's game either. They would have to trade for it.

The more important question is who gets sent down or who hits waivers to open a spot for him?

If a roster spot needs to be made available, it's probably Jordan Weal waived, sadly. It would probably be best for Weal though. Some team in the East would claim him, and give him a shot to play more minutes.

I wish you luck with your thinking King will bring production to the bottom 6 I however think he ll be lucky to score 7 goals the rest of the season The production your looking for will come from Mersch imo who hopefully will be up with the club by jan 15th ish

I don't care who it is, the bottom six needs some help, if it's Mersch that's fine. If it's Brown going on streak that's good too, King back in the lineup good.

Need more from the bottom six though.

I would rather see Shore sent down in all honesty. Shore could use a confidence booster right now, and I believe Shore is still not eligible for waivers.

I believe Shore and Forbort are the only 2 guys that can be sent down without waivers.

And I don't think this team needs King or Nolan or Andreoff. They don't need anymore grit. They need scoring production but Sutter doesn't believe in that. That's why it's okay to win games 2-1 or 3-2.

Mersch has a scoring touch and a better nose for the net. He is also cheaper then King I honestly see a deal coming to open a spot for Mersch I know you think hes just a better skating king ( as you once called him) i however think hes showing hes more of a goal scoring go to the net player which is what we need imo.
