Rumor: Planning Ahead: 2019 Off-Season

[Fat Elvis]

Did Ontario sign college FA Justin Baudry LHD from Bemidji ST? Played for Ontario yesterday. Never saw anything about it. But , he put up decent numbers in college.
Led the team in scoring 9 g 22a in 38gms not bad for a dman.

Here's the info I found on his ATO with Ontario.

Could be a nice under the radar signing.

No.

Was that Bay Harbor?

It's been forever, but I swear there was a San Diego rink with a brick wall too. Remember getting checked into it at like 6am going "what the **** am I doing with my life" after I stopped growing in...bantams?

I might be a little older then you guys, but anyone remember Ice Capades Chalet down on Harbor? They had no benches and their "boards" were covered with carpet (like roller rinks). Lol those were the good ole days of meeting Steve Duchesne and Luc down at Adray's of Orange.

Only one I knew of was in North Hollywood, in the mall there.

Adray's or Ice Capades?

The Adrays that they used to always go to (couple of times a year, at least) was at the Orange Traffic Circle. Ice Capades Chalet was where the old South Coast Sabres skated out of. Harbor/Adams in Costa Mesa.

'Twas a sad day when Ice Chalet closed down.

N. Hollywood Ice Rink's Demise Saddens Skaters : Recreation: Popular facility closes despite petition drive by disappointed patrons. 'What are the kids going to do now?' asks one mother.

Hey gang. Jerk coming in peace, working on a trade value project. How would you all rank the Kings players by trade value (the top 7-10 or so)? Think of it this way, pick two guys and say "if I could only have one of these two guys, who would I take?" Start at the bottom and go up the list like that.

Age, contract and performance all count. No-movement clauses, value to the franchise, and "untouchability" don't.

I'd probably rank your guys like this, but please let me know where I'm wrong and who I forgot. I'm trying to keep this to NHL players, so avoid guys with fewer than 40 games in the league. Thanks!

Drew Doughty, 29, $11m, 2027

Anze Kopitar, 31, $10m, 2024
Jonathan Quick, 33, $5.8m, 2023

Adrian Kempe, 22, $894k, 2019
Tyler Toffoli, 26, $4.6m, 2020
Jeff Carter, 34, $5.27m, 2022

Not following your rules but the Kings should trade all except Doughty and Kempe of that list.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

The Kings could use a trade like this in the off-season.



Too bad Neil Smith isn’t an NHL GM any longer. Maybe they could’ve peddled Jeff Carter and Dion Phaneuf onto him.

Too bad the cap doesn't allow GMs to be Neil Smith anymore, because then it would be much easier to strip the whole roster down, as we likely wouldn't see 7 or 11 year contracts, or NMC's for that matter. The cap forces everyone to think like a small market GM; value, value, value. Old dudes with guaranteed years have little value.

Ice Capades, and yea, I do remember the old Costa Mesa rink, visitor rooms where about the size of a quarter, we ended up using their party room....man, memories, I can still remember the steps up to that rink, the big parkinglot etc...

There was an Ice Capades in North Hollywood, Victory and the 170, the rink entrace was the back door, for hockey, for public skate it was through the mall.

Crappy old players had a lot more value back then vs. today.

The cap and an increase in exposure and advanced stats aren't going to let you dump Carter's and Phaneuf's anymore.

I would think Alec Martinez has more value then Carter and Toffoli right now. Alec is the kings number 2 i would think.

 

[KINGS17]

Are the Kings actually going to have pride?

What kind of pride. The pride in the effort their vets put forth over an entire 3 consecutive periods of hockey? Definitely not.

 

[KingsOfCali25]

Since this is the planning ahead thread. How you would classify the prospects in positioning for the teams future (say in the next 5 years)? Like where do you see them ending up if they make the team.

Petersen: Starting goalie (workhorse)
Kupari: Top6 Forward
Clague: 2nd pairing
Brickley: Bottom pairing
M. Anderson: 2nd pairing
JAD: 3rd line

Etc...

NOTEBOOK: KOVALCHUK ODD MAN OUT? WAGNER’S WORK WITH DEVELOPMENT STAFF PAYING OFF

JON ROSENMARCH 15, 20192 COMMENTS

WTF???????????? WD IS a disgrace to humanity. He and Carter should be embarrassed. Why is Carter playing? Do the coaches or management watch game tape? Carter is not even a shell of himself and the worst player on the ice by far...Carter could not get the puck to Kovy or Leipsic and is worthless in all facets of the game! The only thing he was doing close to NHL level, was faceoffs...and now he lost 8 of 8 last game! ..if Kovy was on Kopitar's line he would have a few more goals...no, he'e not been great, but much better than Carter. Doesn't anyone hav e the cajones to sit Carter? Why is he impervious to ANY criticism or calling out?? Carter should go to WD and tell him that he needs to sit and put Kovalchuk back in...not fair to Kovalchuk or team. What does Carter have to do, to be removed? Take a dump on the ice??

Does anyone of Blakes or Lucs emails? PM me. I want to offer 1000 towards the buyout, personally.

Hey, if you got a 1K to waste, shoot it my way, defending Carter or Kovy is like having to choose between a pile crap and a pile of feces,

Carter at the very least, is defensively responsible, Kovalchuk makes Forbort look like Nik freaking Lidstrom in the defensive zone.

 

[BigKing]

Maybe it is a punishment for Carter to play at this point.

 

[kingsboy11]

I don't think even Richard's play was this bad when his game fell off.

 

[DoktorJeep]

Richards couldn’t keep up with his linemates, Carter is pulling his linemates down every shift. It might as well be a PK out there with Carters line, except they get called for icing the puck. On any given shift I put the odds better than 50/50 the puck gets iced when both Carter and Phaneuf are out there.

The handling of Kovalchuk has to be about Brown not playing with anyone but Kopi. At this point I think they should just do whatever with the lineup and put Kovalchuk at center, convert Toffoli to a defenseman and make MacDermid a forward. Phaneuf and Carter can be player coaches for all I care.

more losses should be our only goal right now.

play all the big salary old guys as much as possible - the young guys may actually score too many and get some wins.
