*Recorded just before the Horvat trade went down.
Really got no Faith in Blake making moves especially after last year debacle doing AHL BS ones. Though I'd like to trade for Bjugstad Center/RW 6'6 from Coyotes to least give 3C along with guy who can play PK and PP. Goalie dude from Chicago who used to play for Sharks is most ideal. If don't make a trade for LHD they fire RB and TMac. Maatta is most likely to get back cheap. LA close to 50 man roster with bad Moore contract coming with 4.2M cap. ARvy is making too much to keep with his limited play. Need a 1C as Danault is fading. I picked team to be 4th in Pacific so Calgary is main concern. Even 5th might be enough for a Wild Card. Arthur still leads team with 7 PPGs. What farm? Your spending 21M for Drew/Anze. Another 11M on Goalies with Quick along with The CAlTanic and Copley? I'd trade Walker at very least maybe Roy too. Either way both of them are gone in a year or two with Clarke on way and Durzi. Helga Grans I could see getting into mix. Franchise will start losing money as next few years major rebuild without anything. Bustfield has 2 Goals while Chytyll has 16 with Gabe kinda numbers in 40ish games. Why is it every team who drafts after LA is Great? Seider over Turcotte Wins Calder at RHD. Milller LHD 6'5 they take KUpari instead? Stutzle they take Byfield? How can GM miss when next pick every time other teams don't? Lightning Strikes 3 Times? Matty B is already All Star likely Calder even Carolina 2nd Overall heh. Fiala makes All Star game who LAK over paid 8M a year but traded 1st rounder who RB would have flopped taking along with Faber who was the Unicorn like Frk.
The Copley Years are not likely to get Sequel or be Long Term Answer. Already drafted like 5 Goalies with Blake? BTW to the Foolish Blake Cultists here is a Riddle Batman. LA last drafted in top 5 with Doughty in what 2008? Yet Under RB they drafted Twice in Top 5 with Turcotte and Byfield? Both guys taken after them are Elite Players Calder All Stars in Stutzle and Seider? Hughes Devils got when LA got passed by them on last game of year. Lizotte along with Byfield or Kupari tend to lose more than 50 percent of their faceoffs. Danault is having games he is losing or only winning like 20 percent. Not Winning a Playoff Series since 2014. When its Twenty or Thirty Years will you be giving up Failed Picks of the Future for Talent who can score like Fiala etc? Drew Doughty will be Bought out in a few years playing for another team like Suter on this current path. Iafallo is better fit on Top Line than Bustfield hehe. Send him back to AHL he don't belong in NHL anyways. Drafted guy to play QB but having him at WR or RB trying to pad his points isn't working. Other teams in Pacific Getting Better like Kraken. Window of Playoffs is going to close this year for next five to ten years. I don't see Byfield as top 6 player more a Fringe 4th Liner who will be gone from NHL by 30ish. Gabe Vilardi has the talent but can he stay healthy to score 30 to 40 goals? Kempe that contract if he keeps producing will cost too much to retain when its up. I expect Maatta with Stalock along with maybe Bjugstad. Chicken I could see getting if they did bigger deal with Coyotes to move Cal contract for example. Anze might not even be able to perform next year at 50 to 60 points much less 40 or playing 50 or more games. I really wanted to invest in Forsberg to get a Center 1st Liner rather than Fiala. Even a LHD for 8M that can play 25 to 30 minutes. Vesey twice player of Lizotte at 6'3 but signed for like two years 1.6M hehe. LA don't even have Ian Cole on blue line. I don't want anybody on team under 6'3 personally its like these 5 foot Spences are not going to pan out ;). I think of Nashville game when Lizotte gets knocked down entering zone leading directly to goal for other team. Edler is likely gone so Jacob Moverare who Blake wont play or give chance since didn't draft him. Jarry I could see Kings Goalie next year. I see no chance of getting Chabot or an Elite kinda LHD. Least your thinking of the right idea over playing 5 RHD hehe. Roy don't have Maatta to carry him anymore so its clear why LA never made playoffs with Walker there :). Carson Soucy is who I really wanted to get at LHD who is 6'6 can score 10 to 20 goals too. Can't have all blueline under 6'3 without reach or range or size or scoring hehe. Mediocre Mikey liability on PK already on ice for like 20 goals even playing with Drew. Vancouver would trade with LA as they desperate hehe. At this point LA should really roll dice on Chychryn as got nothing at LHD on team or future who remotely top 4 much less top paring. He is a complete player when healthy unlike most players hehe.
Jake McCabe would be a good move he is a really solid defenseman he's kinda like a Matt Roy type defenseman, if we got him and paired those two together that would be a really good shutdown pairing
ROB, you have to consider that A LOT of that talent has been off and on called up from Ontario and currently on the Kings NHL Roster in recent weeks / months, … Byfield, Jaret Anderson-Dolan, Bjornfot, Turcotte, Fagemo, Spence as well for some time, and of course Copley ! … when the Kings were healthy and all those guys were in the AHL, the Reign were in 1st place. Our prospect pool is still very deep, but several of them are moving on from AHL careers to NHL ones, and that's a good thing.
I didn’t like Ollie matta
