That's probably my favorite part of the Kovalchuk signing. Finally, someone with the balls to skate it to the middle and fire besides the rare Kopitar slot sighting.

I don't see a need there, they drafted heavy on d for a few years and now there are a spare or two. Although Bob McKenzie thinks that Dubas being at the Flyers /Avs game last night, was possibly just to enjoy a hockey game, I think he was on business. Now he might have been watching for an Av, but the fact they are looking for a defenseman and Travis Sanheim , who has averaged about 13-14 min per game so far this year, got over 20 last night (played a good game too) I don't think is a coincidence. Also, the FLyers have 6 goalies under contract so some of them need to go. Sanheim won't get Nylander, but maybe they are close to a bridge deal and need to move out another forward. Anyway, I am hoping Gudas or Sanheim (even tho I like him) get moved this year because Phillip Myer is a stud in the making and needs to get his NHL feet wet. He'd be a nice add to Ghost/Provo and Haag for a top 4 set.
And watching MacKinnon-Landy and Rantenan...wow. Line is sick. That kid Rantenen is a beast...

JayBo is a healthy scratch in StL and a UFA this year with a $5.4M cap hit and the forward group is lacking grit in the bottom six.
I’d love to see the Kings move Muzzin and Clifford (salary retained) for JayBo, a prospect (Bokk) and a 4th.

eeks, not sure I would be down with this. The best thing in this deal could be the cap relief but then we are retaining on Clifford

Only way you get their most recent 1st round pick, and an additional pick on top of that, plus clear cap space, is if the Blues are desperate. Maybe they are, or will be, but we all complain about both Muzzin and Clifford.
Those two for Bouwmeester, could probably do that. To get a prospect and pick when they're taking on more space next year? That seems to benefit the Kings too much. Again, if they're desperate, maybe.

If St. Louis wanted grit they'd just call up Jordan Nolan. No reason to waste assets on Clifford.

Jeez Winnipeg and Toronto are fast and skillful. What a fun couple of teams to watch.
Is Laine wearing a turtle neck or is that a neck guard?

Its A Kingspiracy !
Especially when the D can get the puck to the forwards without fumbling or hesitating. That's how you play fast.

Expiring contracts have more value in the NBA than they do in the NHL.
Clifford's value is probably nothing, but Muzzin could atleast bring in a good draft pick or prospect, which is better than a 35 year old defenseman on his last legs.

Why only bring up Clifford and Muzzin?
At this point Martinez, Pearson, Toffoli, Forbort, Thompson, and Lewis should all be on the market. Shit if the offer is good enough I'd move on from Kempe as well.

Toffoli is worth a low first rounder and an expiring contract in return or a top prospect and a 2/3 round pick
Muzzin could also go for a decent pick and a good prospect
Pearson is worth a second rounder or good prospect
Forbort or Lewis by themselves should each net a 3rd rounder and a project prospect.
Best case, next year you have 3-5 Good prospects plus 3-5 early picks and a good chunk of $14m in cap savings.

I think their definition of "whack" is slightly different than everyone elses.
What a clown!

Remember how Flames fans were ragging on Doughty? I wonder what they think of their "tough" little p***y now.

The turtle neck in hockey is making a comeback. It's not just a Plekanec thing.
