[Omni Owl]

For what's out there. What LA has to offer. I'm fine with what the Kings have.

Need Gabby healthy but other than that, let's roll. Still like there chances in 7 games against any team.

 

[TradeMadeMeSignUp]

yup...added youth with talent.

Brandon Pirri scored 22 goals in 49 games last year, is 24 and only cost #ducks a 6th? #curious

How was he so cheap? What's the catch?

CHI made late call to VAN. We'll see if it goes anywhere

I would say the only team that makes me nervous is the Hawks but the Ducks have just dominated them for 2 seasons now, I know it's not the playoffs and all but it's also not the same Kings. Ducks also scare me this season.

Didn't need Boychuck with Voynov.

 

[scramble91]

Because he is a train wreck. Doesn't win board battles, doesn't play defense... Simply the true definition of a one dimensional player. Most playoff teams don't want those players which is why I was surprised they picked him up even for cheap.

You obviously haven't watched Pirri play....he would be benched for life 30 seconds into his first shift for Sutter.

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Come on Dean, Forbort + 2017 3rd for Hamhuis!!!

 

[kovacro]

I'm a little surprised Liles or Hunwick have not been moved. Guess the price is just too rich, even at this very late stage.

 

[Omni Owl]

Didn't need Boychuck with Voynov.

Yeah that's true, but I can't get over how little was given up for Despres, who has top 4 potential.

For a 6th, who gives a **** if Pirri wouldn't work in Sutter's system, dude has 22(ish?) goals in 49 games. We need more scoring.

What was the trade? Lovejoy?

Yup.

 

[Reclamation Project]

you guys keep overreacting to all these depth moves when the Kings have basically just done the same thing. it's all the same ****, contenders are adding scoring depth. None of these guys are going to make or break an entire series barring the fluke performance of a lifetime. there's likely good reasons why FLA moved Pirri for just a 6th, why else would they dump a young guy with that much theoretical upside (as people are saying) for a late pick?

But I wanna see some ****ing trades!!! This team ain't goin' nowhere in their current form!!!

Boston acquires John-Michael Liles from Carolina. Keeps Loui Eriksson.

#Isles close to completing deal with Sens for F Shane Prince. Believe a 3rd rounder going to OTT.

Still plenty of time to talk Van into Forbort +2nd for Hammy..

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

So....Vancouver didn't trade Vrbata or Hamhuis? Weird.

 

[Omni Owl]

Can't believe Stempniak didn't get traded, but I'm sure NJ wanted the world for one fluke season. Anyways, wasn't expecting us to do anything today.

 

[BallPointHammer]

3:04 pm est - David Savard - my lone prediction of the day.

 

[DocWest]

To be a King 45% of your shots have to go high and wide and 53% have to hit the goalie directly in the crest. Pirri scores too much so he wouldn't fit in here.

 

[Little Psycho]

Not disappointed that Dean didn't do anything today, but I'm not too confident in this roster.
