2019-20 Kings News/Rumors

[KingsFan7824]

So far Toffoli is showing he’s more engaged, which is what the Kings needed out of him. He needs to be a productive player in order for him to get anything substantial. If he is a 15-goal winger hovering around 30 or so points, would any of you give up prime assets for that? He’s going to be considered a fall back, Plan B or Plan C option for teams who miss out on their prime trade deadline targets.

Not to mention the 0 playoff goals since 2014.

Everything with Toffoli is going to be context. Hayes got a 1st, but he was also a C, going to a team doing anything it could to win today. A lot of the picks listed were in future years. Maybe 1 or even 2 years later, which generally decreases the value of those picks. It's usually not a 2nd and 4th in the same draft. Depending on if the picks are conditional.

It's all wait and see with him. There's nothing he does really well. Hagelin, a contender can put him on the 4th line, he can PK, no problem. Toffoli can't do that. If he's not in an offensive situation, what does he give you? Not hitting, not speed. He's not even a goal scoring specialist. He PK's some, but how much are you giving up for that? Is a 3rd and conditional 6th a year later good?

I don't doubt he'll go somewhere, for something, but when it comes to hoped for returns, I keep those expectations low until shown otherwise. At least when talking about marginal talents. But yeah, like we're all saying, he must score this year. Even if it means a few extra wins. The Kings sit 5th worst, and Toffoli is on pace for 27 goals, so, close to best of both worlds at the moment.

I feel bad for Quick. His mind is still reacting just as quickly as always, but his reflexes and body are no longer responding as well as they once did.

I buy that. But i'm not sure there's not more to it, given he had a great preseason too.

Nothing a 4 hour drive to Vegas can't fix.

Rumor has it, the Kings are a terrible hockey team.

Rumor also has it, that Quinton Byfield would look amazing in a Kings sweater

lol, like the hockey gods would allow us to pick higher than 4th.

Lafrieniere to NJD, Byfield to Minny

I hate you...but then that means we'd have Drysdale!!! F the gods, this is literally a top 10-15 deep draft, we're getting someone good, possibly great

 

[Fat Elvis]

Another draft like they just had would be amazing

Kings need to find a way to get an extra pick in the first round, but I don't see how with trades made off this roster.

Interesting move

Maybe if Toffoli gets hot and has ~20 goals near the deadline, he's the one guy who could fetch a 1st.

Scoring ~20 goals in 60-ish games is unlikely though.

Porky is likely to head back to the RU at the end of the month. So he’ll get up to six games to prove he can take someone else’s spot on the roster.

Surprised that TB was assigned to the AHL, I thought it was either NHL or SHL for him because of his age. I’d rather he get minutes in Ontario at this point.

 

[member 88115]

Porky is going to be given the chance to take over the 4th line center position. Kempe will probably sit for a couple

Re TB: I thought the No AHL restriction was only with CHL players and not Euros.

 

[KopitarFAN]

Glad they finally sent Grundstrom down so he can play.

None of those are getting the Kings a 1st round pick.

Heh, I thought this guy was supposed to come over and tear it up as the Kings 2C this season.

I would agree if not for the fact that about 45% of NHL GMs have proven to become idiots around the TDL. Some desperate team will overpay to ensure they reach the POs just like every year.. Hopefully they overpay for our LeGaaarbaaaage

You take that back right now!

I remember being told in no uncertain terms and very harshly that Muzzin couldn't fetch a 1st either.
