Trading for PLD is absolutely insane.

 

[oobga]

If he's healthy lol.

Useful for LTIR scams maybe PLD useful for nothing

 

[Oilhawks]

Wait, the Kings think that Kuemper is going to solve their goaltending issue?

LOL

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

I mean horrible trade for the Kings last year, this gets them completely off the hook. I'll at least give credit for accepting the loss and making the best of it.

What is going on in the NHL? I guess we still have like a week left of the season and free agency is in 11 days? This is absurd. Scheduling is all f***ed up.

I will say if PLD can be traded, so can Darnell Nurse.

 

[NeverForget06]

Now I will cheer for PLD to have a bounce back season to make the Kings look dumb

100% this.

No way. Kings think they will never get another chance to dump that contract. They're right.

As funny as it is(it's hilarious) this was a great move for LA.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Anyone who says HF posters couldn't be NHL GMs is out to lunch. Why oh why would the Caps do that unless they're tanking?

...wait.

 

[McDNicks17]

Washington throwing out the biggest life preserver in the world.

Wow.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Lol I’m sure PLD will be such a good sport being on a team about to rebuild.

 

[5Hollywood5]

-Vilardi -Iafallo -Kupari..

+KUEMPER!!!!

 

[GhostfaceWu]

How the f*** did the owner not stop this trade. This is probably the dumbest f***ing thing any gm has ever done.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

The won't rebuild until OV takes off.

Not completely. Kuemper is 5.25 for 3 more years and had an .890 last year

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Can’t wait to hear Drive’s opinion of PLD now that he isn’t a king

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Because the Kings are very silly, I wonder if there's a deal where Nurse goes there for Gavrikov

 

[5 14 6 1]

I guess we now know why Washington bought CapFriendly....

I will say, Blake's handling of the PLD situation from top to bottom is a fireable offense. Sets the Kings franchise back years.

Cutting bait with the sunk cost is the right decision but it should have been a new management group making it.

 

[McDNicks17]

Kuemper isn't great anymore, but dumping one of the worst contracts in the league and getting a decent stop gap in your biggest hole is pretty nice for the Kings.

Yeah that's as bad of asset management as I've ever seen in the NHL

Someone out there needs to do some analysis about the competence level of NHL GMs compared to other leagues because it has to be in the basement.

 

[SupremeTeam16]

If you wanted a good chuckle it would be funny to go revisit some threads from last offseason when more then a few posters were chastising Oilers management for “sitting on their hands” while division rivals like the Kings went out and made moves to improve their team.

I'd say it's pretty even across pro sports.

Hard to avoid when you've got teams being run by guys with a high school education after 20 years of being hit in the head for a living.
