Someone (Kings fan) proposed Kempe/Kupari + 2nd for Kravtsov, what do you guys think about that?

How the hell can anyone look at Danault's body of work, including preseason with the Kings, and crap on him at this point
I'm sorry but that's beyond rational reasoning, you're just out of your skull. The guy is a monster hockey player, and had 76% of the shot attempts despite the toughest starts on the team in the preseason, picking up just where he left off in MTL.

That was me, and I was told by Rangers fans the 2nd was too rich, haha.
But Kupari and a thing (I was thinking LATE 2nd but not sure what we have) for Kravtsov gave the Rangers a natural C and us a natural W, made sense to me.

Exactly, I didn't watch him under a microscope during last season's playoffs, but what I saw I liked as a casual observer. Watching him more carefully during the preseason, he's a better player than I thought. He may not have much of a shot and won't score many goals, but everything else I liked a lot. Speed, puck handling, passing were all good. His defensive skills as advertised.

He wouldn't be guaranteed to have a roster spot with LA, so he'd be just as miserable here. No thank you.
Love the talent though.

Yeah I said a 2nd would be enough, but if you want to give us that as well, sure!

I like our bet with Andersson. I don't think there's a reason to go out and grab Kravtsov as well with Fagemo, Kaliyev, and Chromiak around plus all the centers who could shift to wing.

Diminishing assets result in diminishing returns. Not to mention we no longer need yet another forward.

I love the player. Hate the contract.

Unless Kravtsov, is going to be a high scoring winger, there is very little need for him to log jam the middle to lower 6 anymore than it already is. Who is really an upgrade over?

I think there is truth in both of these statements as Vilardi has made some of the most impressive passes we have seen as Kings fans in many years. However, Kopitar was a much more rounded, better player.

Maybe they could have gotten that this summer? But sending him down kinda signaled where his value is at now?
Only benefit to me, is that it moves Kempe out of the way for legit top 6 players. Or atleast future ones (I hope…)

Bottom dweller teams like the Kings don't get good UFAs unless they pay a little more for them. It's the price you pay for sucking ass the last 7 years.

It was an idea. I didn't say it was a good idea.
Well like I said, we’ll just see at the end of the season which center has the third most points. My skull is intact and I’m just out here shooting off my opinions just like you, RJ.

I think players have an objective cap value based on their skill set and age.
In free agency, the team that's willing to overpay gets the player.
I don't think it has anything to do with LA. It's just the nature of how free agency works. There are exceptions of course.

Nobody gets the top free agents without paying a little more. One extra year. $5m more over the life of the contract. NMC's. Whether you're bringing a guy in, or re-signing someone. If you're TB, you can get Perry for nothing and hope he's got some 4th line game left in him.
The downside of the cap is that anything extra you have to give hurts your ability to be competitive. It's why every GM hands out term. Really the only weapon GMs have. You want the first few years, but pay for the last few. Can't give $30m for 3 years, it has to be 5 or 6 years.
Even if the Kings were back to back champs, they're still not getting a wildly wanted Danault for $3m a year.
I like Danault and am glad he's on the team. If there's a problem with the roster, Danault isn't it. I don't think he's a 20 goal scorer, but 15 and 40 assists isn't out of the question. Pair that with great defensive play from the C, count me in.

Well if he was playing 4c he’d probably waive it. Besides, it was a hypothetical and I don’t think need to lose much sleep about it at this stage. If Danault is our 4c we are likely in a fight for the Stanley Cup and we’d definitely be in great shape.

Why are we trading for a guy that couldn't crack the Rangers' roster? We don't have enough mediocre forwards already?
