Kings will either re-sign Roy and trade Spence, or let Roy walk and let Clarke slide in alongside Gavirkov.

My only fear is the D core of Anderson, Doughty, Gavrikov, Clarke, Spence and Englund doesn't exactly scare opponents.

All the pundits agreed as did even the Oilers, that Vegas' D was big, physical and mobile and the Oil and other teams had a hard time with them.
In an ideal world we would trade Roy and Englund (or make him a #7) and get Lauzon to play with Spence.

There in lies the rub, you can't keep all 3. Someone would have to move to LD. Do you keep a experience Roy and try to sign him longterm or get a 1st plus for him at the TDL. Its a tough spot the Kings are in.

Roy is gonna get upwards to 5-6m on the market.

QB likely gonna get Stutzle money.

Clarke buys you some time and Spence is gonna be cheap.

Trade Roy? You don't trade a veteran during a playoff run. It just doesn't happen. Also we don't have the money to re-sign him. The Kings will simply let him walk away in the off-season and replace him with Clarke/Spence. That's pretty much the only option.

It was an idea. I didn't say it was a good idea.

Not gonna lie, I thought this was some kind of terrible photoshop job. B

Great to see the Kings finally earn a bonus point. Their inability to win an OT/SO game has cost them a few points.

Would have been nice to have a gritty forward to battle Marchand this game.

Let's not forget about Englund beating Frederic.

And PLD looks like he needs coddling, and Hiller is doing that for him. He can't hang with a Tort's or TM.
No players should be around TMac, because when things go wrong he just blames the players all the time. TMac's arrogance was part of why he was fired. He never took enough blame for Kings loses when it was so evident.
