go check the forum last year and plenty of posters on here predicted when Kopitar signs if he does that he'd get the captaincy. Even more were claiming Brown needs to have the captaincy removed with Kopitar being the obvious candidate if not someone else barring he didn't re-sign. Guess we are all insiders too and should be praised! Also again he doesn't throw nearly the amount of @#$% onto a wall as Eklund does, but with that Eklund has a much greater number of things he got right if and only if for the fact he has been around longer. Both hit at a <10% prediction rate. Neither are good yet pretending one is superior to the other is plain blind and stupid they both clearly maybe once had a source say something and now pretend they have several and get inside information when they don't. I've personally posted a few things over the years that came to fruition yet I don't joke myself, make a blog, and pretend I have regular yet alone semi regular inside sources.
Who was awesome and I miss is Tonnelighost (sp?). Have to agree with the posts above that if ownership/management aren't on the same page and secretly going behind each other's backs.... Then we have some serious issues and concerns that likely will lead us back to the dark days of being a King's fan.
I think there are some things here that really aren't truthful. Mayor first mentioned that expect Kopitar to wear the C when next season started. He mentioned that in an article about Kopitar's contract negotiations. He never mentioned in that article that Brown would be traded or bought out. He made the claim that Kopitar would wear the C. He wrote that on
Dec 1 2015. Meanwhile he said even on
December 21st, that he doesn't expect Brown to be traded soon and that a good thought could be exposing him in this year's expansion draft. While it would be ideal for Brown to have been traded the Mayor never said "He's getting traded next week". Plus if Brown losing the C wasn't such a huge deal, there wouldn't have been a 19 page thread on it. We would have accepted it and moved on, but it wasn't the case. There is a reason that Elliotte Freidman is calling Mayor a good reporter and why Bob McKenzie mentioned him during TSN's trade coverage for tweeting about the Brayden McNabb deal and how it involved Hudson Fasching.
You would also mention that, John has never ever gotten anything right. I would ask about all of the jersey leaks that he has had over the past couple of years. While he didn't have the exact jersey, he was 95% on what the jersey would look like. He had the San Jose and LA Outdoor game jersey template before anyone else. Of course everyone will bring up the Justin Williams trade that never occurred. Whether you believe it or not, fine, but Williams was on the trading block that season and nothing materialized. It worked for the Kings and they won a Stanley Cup, but if they were so enamored by Justin Williams, he would still be a King today. The Kings were ready to cut ties with Williams whether you like it or not. Could the same happen with Dwight King this year, quite possibly. But hey let's just hang on to the Williams thing if that makes you feel better.
Also Tonelli's Ghost was full of ****. CNS can attest, if he comes back, he tried to meet this mysterious "scout" many times off the record and guess who never appeared and or showed up? It sure wasn't Andy. He faked his way through his discussions on this message board.
