I get why they changed it but I think if you finished dead last you should drop no further than 3rd overall.
Being last place is the best thing for this team, but I just can't get excited about losing for the tank. I still cheer for the Kings to win each game, although I am aware of the reality of the situation.
Remains to be seen if he will spend his career with the Kings. He still has 8 years left on his deal after this one, but you are correct he is a generational talent. I am not a fan of the attitude and persona though.
Yeah, I get that. I probably was taking Doughty for granted. Maybe because outside the number of minutes he is eating, he hasn't really been his old dominating self.Well, you said "good portion of their career", Doughty's been here 10 years already, if you can believe it. I have a hard time believing Blake would trade him. He knows he'd not find another D like him during his tenure as GM here. I agree with you about Drew's bull**** though. It's old but hey, Crosby's a whiny *****. It happens.

The tank must be combined with a major sell off of any contract between $2m and $5m.
It’s about quantity of ELCs next year as much as where we pick.
I see nothing standing in the way of this team losing 32 games. The question is who will pull a Willsie and cause the Kings to pick second. My money is on Thompson.
Absolutely guaranteed. On the powerplay, too.
Kings could lose the rest of the season and still not pick first.Its about the lottery balls.

haha... would you rather have had stamkos in that draft or doughty though? Willsie altered the course of this organization. although maybe wed have more than 2 cups by now with stamkos?
Doughty?
that's my thought. I remember being stoked we won that game, then pissed that we won once I realized it cost us stamkos. I think it worked out for the betterMore likely we'd have none, just like Tampa Bay.
Funny how only two NHL teams have had all the generational talents of the last 40ish years. At least the prime years for Gretzky.Doughty is not a generational talent by any measure. Gretzky, Lemieux, Crosby, McDavid. It's a small group.
At least it looks like Doughty will be Kings lifer - or at least for the years that matter.
I would say that your definition of generational is misplaced. You're confusing "top 5 all time" (McDavid still very much in doubt on that list) with generational. Doughty has a very convincing argument as the best defenseman of his generation, hence generational.Doughty is not a generational talent by any measure. Gretzky, Lemieux, Crosby, McDavid.

Wasn't there a game when Ivanans scored a couple goals to mess things up in the standings?
The second to last game of the season, which they won.

More balls than the current roster has, that's for sure.Not only how many losses, but how many balls will need to drop...
According to my Chinese Astrology reasoning (12-year-patterns repeating), Jack Hughes (2019) will be the next Patrick Kane (2007). Were the Hawks anything before getting Kane?
