If Kings are truly rebuilding I wonder if they would make Doughty available?
Maybe offer them a Jokiharju , Perlini , Kayumov , 2020 1st and 2021 1st and see what they think. I love Joker but to land a 29 yr old Norris winner signed longterm it would be worth it. Not sure Kings would view that as enough futures and I was looking at our forward group to see if I could throw someone in there but well we are pretty thin for impact talent up front with our youth on NHL roster in Debrincat , Strome and Kahun
Add Doughty as our big OMG splash move and then Draft Byram
In a year or two
Byram-Doughty
Keith-Boqvist
Beaudin-Murphy
Seabrook bought out and then Murphy departs as UFA when his contract is up and Keith when he retires has Beaudin hopefully slot into 2nd pairing
For this coming season
Keith-Doughty
Byram-Murphy (I think Byram can step into NHL role this coming year)
Gus-KFC (If you can move Gus for 1st you do it and then sign Forsling to a prove it deal and slot him on 3rd pair)
Spare parts
I know ,, Its all not going to happen but until this SCF is over we wont see much activity around league and thus me and countless others will just do even more Capfriendly scenario's
