[DAkings20]

Johnny Utah right now

 

[Steve Zissou]

Didn't we already have a carbomb on our team not long ago...

 

[Johnny Utah]

Yes!!!

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

He's definitely got some Sean Avery in him in getting under the skin of opponents.



Also gives up his body...


… and will take on bigger opponents.

He makes our bottom 6 better . Hes a fighting gritty hard hitting power forward . I like the move and consider it an underrated upside of a move . Theres going to be another trade some of our young guys for a center because Vilardi is gonna be a winger from what Tmac said . Some players from reign are coming up .... Byfield ? Kupari ? I wonder

 

[kovacro]

Maybe more moves on the horizon?

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

The guy has a knack for pissing off people, just like his dad.

I'm not seeing what a 4th line LW has to do in relation to larger deals. He doesn't alter the roster, from a numbers game, and he's different than what the Kings otherwise have on their bottom lines. I think they're just adding him to see if he can bring a different element. This is when you experiment.

 

[Eagle Fang]

At first glance I really like this move. Him or Bennett were players I'd hope LA would get. Brings an element the team is really lacking atm.

 

[LAKings88]

Not sold here. Could be a fan favorite or the next whipping boy.

 

[Johnny Utah]

When the Kings lose these days they are very flat. Hopefully he stirs the pot.

There are no Nolan’s, Clifford’s, Carcillos’ on this team anymore. So when other teams beat us - we just sleep walk thru the loss.

 

[Mattias]

He’s gonna be good for when we play Calgary.

 

[kilowatt]

weird trade but ok

 

[Schmooley]

I like the move. He hasnt been as noticeable this season which is probably why he was made available by the rangers. I think hell do well here. If not its no big deal. The kings are stocked with prospects and picks and they need players that can contribute now and next season.

 

[DoktorJeep]

Put another move into the dumpster diving category for Blake.

 

[Mats26]

Sure why not, we need some snarl. Could be another Moore type player for us if he stays dsciplined.
Not going to lose sleep on a 4th round pick but it does seem we have more forwards than we need. I think we package a few players for a bigger deal soon.
He also needs protection from Seattle, so maybe another player to bait them to take.

 

[KingsHockey24]

I LOVE THIS.

Our forward group was WAYY too soft before.

And MacDermid is mean but he should really only be playing in 30-40% of games.

 

[Lt Dan]

Maybe more moves on the horizon?

I trust him on injuries and the history of croquet. His history of trade rumors is not good

 

[King'sPawn]

Not a fan.

Co-hosted "Watch Your Tone" with Anthony DeAngelo.

Suspended multiple times with slew foots and high hits dating back to juniors.

THAT is the most interesting that I've seen so far.

That's my issue with it

just read somewhere people have said he's calmed down a lot. I like the fights, and the moxie, i don't like the cowardly bullshit, like the Todd Bertuzzi'ing a kid in the preseason. If he's moved on, great, but at first glance I don't like it. If we have to get a pot-stirrer just to get people to have a pulse, we have bigger problems

 

[deeshamrock]

Not a fan of his game and a bit perplexed on why the Kings did this. He's a scumbag, a dirty player. They could have gotten grit without the negative baggage.

Quick's name has been out there in rumors and I can see the Leafs being interested. Quick has a good relationsihp with Campbell and something Anderson does not have, playoff success, playing under pressure. I think the other name might be Iafallo.
Time will tell.

 

[Martyros]

just in case our bottom 6 isn't bottom enough.

 

[sinister6000]

I don't care about this season, i will wait for the kids to come up. Then we'll see what the Kings can do.

 

[Peter James Bond III]

Strange. Too bad one or all of Wagner, Luff or Lizotte couldn't have gone to NY.
Amadios' days were numbered, once JAD hit the ice, flying this year.
If Lemieux earns icetime as line 4, I wonder if Luff is Amadiosed too now.
