What kind of LHD do we need; is there an ideal player out there you wish we could get?

[Raccoon Jesus]

The day they traded 2, #2 picks for Regehr, I thought they overpaid. Until I saw him play only one game on the Kings. Geez oh man. The Kings need (a LHD) Regehr right about now.

I'll never forget the night Regehr made Kucherov quit.

Would vote SAH but would go PMD if the option was for a dman that can shoot well. Our defense sucks at scoring.

That’s what Clarke is for. Problem is, guys like Regehr don’t really exist anymore.

I think Soucy is the move. Maybe something like Walker + JAD?

Anderson - Doughty
Soucy - Clarke/Spence
Durzi - Roy

Romanov but he’s in Philly for now

 

[KingsHockey24]

That's what this thread is asking, though: who IS this guy in the modern NHL? Name some names and we can talk! Otherwise it's all just chasing unicorns.

Not many out there anymore

In terms of LHD I'd say: Brendan Dillion, Mark Borowiecki, Jamie Oleksiak, Nikita Zadorov, Ben Chiarot, and Brayden McNabb?

 

[TruKingFan]

What about Brenden Dillon? He may not be the “age” we want but he’s the closest to a Regehr that might be gettable. Will Walker/Andersson get it done?

 

[BringTheReign]

You need to develop a tough LD who is able to make a good first pass and skate; otherwise you will inevitably overpay for them nowadays. You need either offense or size to stand out and get drafted nowadays, and it's tougher to develop NHL-level skills when you're 6'4" or taller (or so it seems based on how many of those guys don't make it).

I dunno, I just want my damned unicorn.

Time passes, and you forget just how damned important Big Rig & Mitchell were to those runs.

What royal pricks they were to play against.

This has been my target for awhile.. I’d rather move whoever we’d lose through waivers for him.. JAD+

 

[funky]

Liked the Edmundson comment right off the hop. Was hurt last year and Montreal is a mess and neat the cap. We have surplus prospects and Walker to help with the financial burden.

 

[Mats26]

A young Mark Giordano type would be ideal.

 

[RocketKing]

Jacob Slavin would be the player Id want. He’s a bit older at 28 but he fills the boxes for me.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Man, I forgot about RR leveling Reaves - he had to skate to the bench.

Regehr was a beast in juniors. We got him at the tail end of his career, but man he was mean.

And this is a guy who broke both legs in a car accident and it was questionable if he'd even play again. Wild man.

Between that and Greene getting hit by a jeep and playing that same night, you can't question those guys.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Matt Greene would've been an ANIMAL if he knew how to scrap.

Guy was a punching bag.

 

[Johnny Utah]

They said Matt Greene was a beast in the gym, but he could not fight.

OD and RR could fight heavies and beat them. Willie Mitchell had a mean streak also.

I was on my knees begging for DL to target Adam McQuaid all those seasons Matt Greene was injured for. He would've been a perfect replacement with his age and handedness.

Guy looks like he would gut you with a smile on his face, just for looking at his wife the wrong way.

Exactly what this team needs.

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

Please take Mike Reilly.

he'd get torched against the oilers and avalanche

Sergachev, Cernak, Romanov.

Basically a unicorn at this point.

I think he’s got a necklace of ears in his hunting cabin somewhere up in Canada.

Cernak maybe. Romanov hits but he's more Sergei Emelin than Regehr so far. No one is scared of Sergachev.

That being said Romanov on our 2nd pairing would be a phenomenal get.

Jake McCabe is scared of Sergy.

 

[FSL KINGS]

We have 2 LD that don't score already. Don't need another. LD that put up 30 points last year is a list about 30 long with 3 to 4 realistically available.

Also has to be significantly better than playing Roy on his off side to justify trading for them.
