[Lt Dan]

The Tank is on !
yeah it's on the street!

 

[Lt Dan]

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

Wasn't me

It happens with every fan base but we're getting some extra picks again.. Me thinks an extra 1st, 2nd and 3rd will be acquired by Blake and Co!

packages..
Martinez and Hutton
Hutton and Toffoli
Martinez and Toffoli
Toffoli and Campbell
a new Chevy Corvette & Dodger dogs for life?????

If Hutton continues to play well, I would sign him..if reasonable number could be reached. He's honestly been playing pretty well.

 

[Little Psycho]

Offical statement

 

[Telos]

I dunno if it is a good idea to keep Toby, but I am happy for the kid. I like that he is going to be playing and learning our system in the AHL though, even though his team back home is nothing to sneeze at.

I think Blake resigns Forbort and honestly, with Bjornfot and Anderson already knocking on the door why sign a free asset LT? I'd move him for as high a pick as possible or for a young forward.
Martinez in my eyes needs to be moved because his play indicates to me taht he's half-assing it.
Carolina wants a top 9 Forward so i'd send Toffoli for H.Fluery+ depending on where Toffoli is production wise at the TDL.
Quick is stuck here for te long haul so i'd move Campbell(even in a Pkg) and bring up Cal and let him have his time.
Its still way too early to determine the value for our players but they've bounced back so far and if it continues, well then out rebuild will be that much better for it.. And NO, not one damn person on here can predict the value of these guys right now so quit trying to pass off opinions as facts.. and thats just a general comment i'm making

 

[KINGS17]

You take that back right now!

I may be posting this again in a couple of weeks.

What is the rush? It's not like the Kings are a playoff team

Petersen is going to benefit the most from playing nightly and playing in the lesser league. He is a kid who has played 11 games in the NHL.
He will be a much better player long term if we let him be a bigger fish in a smaller pond and really find his game, than letting him get shelled nightly and destroying his confidence

Big drop off though between Muzzin (a legit top 4), and what the Kings have left though.

The upside to keeping him is they can make sure he plays ~20 minutes (or whatever), while if he goes back he may wind up with a limited role on a good team.

It better be after we move 6-8 guys.. if not, i'm strictly sticking to watching my SJB Braves football!

I think he deserves to be the guy now, Campbell is a quality goalie who could net us a 3rd round in a very deep draft.. we also need to sign Ingham before he bolts

If we're talking the new mid-engine Corvette, and the Dodger Dogs come in the picante version, I'd easily go the last deal.

Tell Wolfe he wants to be catching passes from Jayden Daniels at ASU, not some 3rd string USC hack.

Oh it gets worse... I'm a Bruins fan.. So I get to see all our players go everywhere else but UCLA

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

No real argument here, only that if guys play to their capabilities--like Muzzin did before his trade--that they'll see a corresponding bump in value. But I think it's more likely to see 2 2nds or comparable for Martinez.

You sell high on that guy if you can. Sign him on July 1st, or if he goes somewhere else, it's not the world's biggest loss. The only guys they should be giving contracts to are young RFA's, and UFA filler for a year at a time.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I've actually really like Hutton's game too. He's better with the puck than I thought, though even worse without it than I thought It's like Doughty playing with Shattenkirk or something. But if he has a good year, yeah, sell the shit out of him.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Also, very interesting, because I didn't know the AHL didn't have the 9 game rule.

 

[Bandit]

All we need is a third Russian to go with Kovalchuk and Prokhorkin and and they can be the three stooges:

Shanky, Spanky and Wanky.

I don't mind this if Bjornfot spends the entire year in Ontario. I see a situation similar to Voynov's in the making. Bjornfot will be ready to join the Kings after a couple of seasons in Ontario.

I’d say that’s slightly substantively different than “Porky is likely to head back to the RU at the end of the month.” I don’t think there’s been any reporting that he likely is heading back, just that there needs to be a decision made soon.

 

[regulate]

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.

You only have to be 18 years old to play in the AHL. The age issue comes into play due to the CHL/NHL agreement. CHL does not want to lose their star players, the 18 and 19 year olds (and key to their business model and teams). So it's only players who are playing in the WHL, OHL or the Q where age becomes a restricting factor. Players coming out of Europe, the NCAA, National Development programs etc can play in the AHL at 18 or 19 years old. So for instance, if Turcotte leaves the NCAA after one season, then signs a pro contract but the Kings determine he is not quite ready for prime time at 19, he can play for the Reign next season. Kupari, who is only 19, is playing for the Reign this season too. Same thing Kempe did at 18 and 19.
