Nachbauer?Is AEG eventually going to get sick of paying guys to go away?
He would join Sutter, Stevens, Dean, Richards...anyone else?

Girl in front of me, her jersey reminded me of Voynov. Guess he was reapplying for next season? No longer under Kings control next season, right? One last **** you to the Kings.
Forbort needs to be moved away from Doughty, he lacks the puck moving skills to handle top pair minutes. He is constantly flubbing pucks in the defensive zone leading to sustained zone time and he kills plays in the offensive zone. He is a serious drag on Doughty who has consistently been one of the best puck possession players in the entire league, but has plummeted in that regard since being paired with Forbort. Forbort has good defending skills and can be utilized in a bottom pairing/PK role, but he should not still be on the top pair, despite how much Doughty likes playing with him. This is the first season this decade where Doughty is >50% CF and only the second time he has been >54%. That second season under 54% happened to be last season, when Doughty was also paired significantly with Forbort. Look at these numbers from just this season, a near 10 percent drop in possession when Doughty is paired with Forbort.

I honestly forgot about Voynov and I’m ok with that.Girl in front of me, her jersey reminded me of Voynov. Guess he was reapplying for next season? No longer under Kings control next season, right? One last **** you to the Kings.
Gotta consider dealing Forbort. Have to believe than there's a market for him.
Upgrade with a veteran dman in one of the many offseason moves by this very Pro-Active front office......

Wow. That’s enough to make a guy vomit. Blake better find a direction fast.
I’d take a salary dump, a fifth round pick and overage prospect with upside for Forbort. Somehow, Forbort has 1 more year after this one and is owed $2.5m.
Something like Forbort to Montreal for UFA LHD Jordie Benn, AHL RFA forward Mike McCarron (similar to Rempal in some ways) and the fifth rounder.
my problem with keeping one or both of muzzin and martinez is that these guys are going to be asking for raises and both are north of 30
I think the raises are done with the Cup guys. One way or another, my guess is Muzzin isn't here by the end of next year. I don't know if he'll be traded in the next few weeks, because everyone will be trying to pick the Kings carcass, but Doughty was the last extension.

Are they signed for next year?

Muzzin is playing at his peak ability and based on his post game comments, sounds like he’s ready for a change.

Forbort / Doughty
MacDermid / Walker
Phaneuf* / LaDue
*I'm REALLY hoping some desperate playoff team takes Dion for depth. I can hope, can't I? We'll have Brickley/Clague to take that spot.
