Wonder if the rumors of the Kings pursuing an additional scoring winger will link them up again in Pacioretty trade discussions.
If his extension was for $7M per year, the Kings would have to move one of Pearson/Toffoli and Muzzin/Martinez to make it work.

Where would you rank Quick's poke checking skills?
I'd give him a generous 6.5 / 10

Philly will gladly work out a deal with you to bring him inHe is still the best Goalie in the league and you are very lucky to have him!
LOL
- thanks, but no thanks. yeah, I do love me some Quickie as well. I look at it that he's so good, but he can easily be better. I know, sounds selfish.He is easily the best goalie the Kings have ever had.
I don't think he's great at it but I bet he's better than you. Lol

Queue the Pacioretty for Vilardi+ rumors again.
I'm already filling out my thank you cards for the favor Montreal is doing for us.

Its A Kingspiracy !
It's not that it's anemic, he just forgets to look at where he's shooting.

In the time it takes you to read this sentence Doughty would have still been winding up his shot......
...... to pass.

I like Patches, but that would be a mistake. What the Kings don't need, is a player who will be 31 when that new deal begins on a 7 yr deal at 7.5 or more (rumored based on what JVR got and that Patches numbers GPG and PPG are better over the last several years) . Mistake.
You don't get better by having all the LTC's on your team players in their 30's.
Skinner was the guy that would have made sense, for an LTC in that range given his age.

Given Montreal's current situation and now announcing he won't be extended I don't think many NHL teams are offering full price for Pacioretty. It's time for teams to pounce on Montreal, their season is already over, Weber is out long term and they need a center, Vilardi isn't gonna be part of a deal. I think the OP was saying how every Montreal rumor will include Vilardi because that is who THEY want.

Agree on the trade chips going the otherway and the Habs being desperate. But then you are trading for a rental. He can wait to next summer and sign with another team.
And there will be teams that will do that...
I think you trade for him as a rental if the price is right...a 2nd in 2019, a 2nd in 2020 and a B prospect, you dump Thompson, trade Muzzin/Martinez for futures, and you roll with,
Pacioretty - Kopitar - Brown
Kovalchuk - Carter - Vilardi
Pearson - Kempe - Toffoli
Clifford - Amadio - Lewis
Doughty - Forbort
Muzzin/Martinez - Fantenberg
Phaneuf - Ladue/Brickley
Quick

Yea, it's a rental, but that's a pretty nice lineup with a real shot if everyone plays well

Saw that thread on the trade board. I wouldn’t trade Kempe for him straight up, let alone in a package.

I thought you were responding to GoldenBearHockey
Offensively for sure. That defense would scare the bejeezus out of me. Fantenberg getting 2nd line minutes would be... an adventure.
One thing that's overlooked when the Muzzin/Martinez idea comes up is if one of them is traded for offense, the team doesn't have enough penalty killing defensmen. The PK is a huge part of the Kings' success, and it would struggle big time with this lineup. MacD (with 8 minutes and 30 seconds of SH TOI) had more PK time than Fantenberg, LaDue, and Phaneuf. That speaks volumes.
Agreed, but at one point, you either let them play, your keep the status quo, Muzzin/Martinez matched up with Brickley, La Due or Fantenberg, and Phaneuf matched up with one, I think will have enough experience to get it done...the opportunity to put out such a strong top nine is there, I think you have to take it. Might start winning games 4-3, I know..the horror lol
I think if Brickley pans out and shows promise quickly, it's definitely a consideration. Otherwise, it's pretty risky. If one of the 3 went down, the team would be stuck with 2 experienced PK'ers on the blue line.

A few Kings prospects playing in a summer beer league in Minnesota.
Mikey Eyssimont, Cole Hults, and Steven Johnson will be participating.

Looks like a WCHA reunion.
I'd love to see a tournament pitting state and provincial all-stars against each other next time there is a lockout.
