I’ll be at the game… @Sol can buy me a beer and we can bitch about the Kings for three hours. Should be a blast.

Isn't this lineup over the cap?
Byfield-Kopitar-Kempe
Fiala-PLD-Grundstrom
Moore-Danault-Arvidsson
JAD-Lizotte-Lewis
Kaliyev
Anderson-Doughty
Gavrikov-Roy
Englund-Spence
Bjornfot
Talbot
Copely
Cap space: -608K
They can't keep Spence up for the first two games without waiving someone.

Todd McLellan is an inside agent

better get a contract extension ready for that kind of management
can't even ice a cap compliant roster in preseason

I’d bet my bottom dollar on Toby being sent down for the duration of Kalyiev’s suspension, for the simple reason of being cap compliant. Because at this point, why not risk Toby being claimed, just icing on the cake of mismanagement.
Arty comes back, and assuredly JAD gets waived, before toby comes back up. Just going to hope for an injury free two games, else they end up running a short roster 2 f***ing games into the season.
It’s a cluster f***, but the timing of that JAD waive could lessen the chance of a claim. Who knows man, but it’s certainly an un-forced shit show.

It is. They have to keep a 21-man roster in pretty much any iteration.
Even if they waived and sent down a bigger contract, it only gives about $1.2 million of cap relief. And anyone they call up in their stead will eat up more than half of that.

I think they'll send Spence down, and have Bjornfot play on his offside for the first two games.
Also, you never know, there might be a minor trade in the works.
I mean, you HAVE to ensure that something as meager as a 2 game suspension for a low-salary player doesn’t have such an effect on icing a cap compliant roster.
Yet, here we are.

How do emergency recalls work? Play a game short handed & you can emergency recall for the next one?
Edit: who was the last player Emergency Recalled to the King's?

Agreed. Even if neither amount to much, the fourth line forward needs to get waived before the potential third pairing defenseman.
The f***ed up thing is that we don’t even really know what JAD can do because he hasn’t been given much of a chance. He’s played fewer games (96) than Byfield (99).
(He’s also scored 14 goals to Byfield’s 8, but we won’t talk about that…)

Only applies to after the trade deadline, the team has fewer than 12 forwards, 6 defense, and 2 goalies who are heathy, and the team has used up all of their roster movements (as they are limited after the trade deadline). The player also has to be sent down immediatey after the game
Unfortunately there's no emergency button for cap incompetence for the bulk of the season.

Well, that’s a relief.
Certainly points to AD hitting the waiver wire, and then wisely protecting Toby.
Color me shocked.

This era of Kings history will be one of the biggest question marks ever with how poorly Blake managed the roster.

Blake and his management is just tossing assets out the window. Not saying JAD is a legit top 6 potential guy but he definitely is a bottom 6 NHL talent.
