Just a question for u Kurrilino who do u see as the left side of our defense? I mean if hutton and ryan leave ufa We would have no veteran playing on the left side. Also one the weakness the kings have had for years is our pp and i am sure u are aware. Ghost would help this and give us the best offensive lefthand defense in years
I would be ok with Clague going if u have ghost at worse hes a upgrade. As for the pick a low second is not a for sure thing. We also need talent in the prime ghost fits this
I welcome not having a functional defense for the next 2 years. We have to ride out our old contracts and get more top3 picks before starting some adventures.
Bjornfood looks very promising to be a leading defender. Anderson is already looking very solid the 3 games he played here.
Claque would be the last person i would trade. The couple of games he spend here showed why. Great positioning and mobility plus the raids into the offense zone like Doughty used to do.
This is already 3 out of 6 defender positions, Braden Doyle is exploding right now and Cole Hults has a solid campaign as well.
As for the PP, we are running over 30% in our last 10 games. I was the old junk leftover from the Murray,Sutter era where creativity was literally forbidden. Since we start using youngsters who want to play real hockey it's picking up strongly. We have a 4 game winning streak and some wins against the top teams.
A player like Ghost would be someone i would trade for if our youngsters took the next step, taking over minor tasks at the NHL level like Villardi.
