Iaffalo and Vilardi in the same deal smells like PLD AND Helleybuck involved to me.
Hope thats not true....Helly and one strong defensive D with size and wheels would make LA a very hard out.Iaffalo and Vilardi in the same deal smells like PLD AND Helleybuck involved to me.
Maybe, but Vilardi is an RFA as well. If Helleybuck is going to LA, LA is going to have to add a decent amount more.Iaffalo and Vilardi in the same deal smells like PLD AND Helleybuck involved to me.
I doubt it, but if so the Kings are adding a lot more than just those 2 playersIaffalo and Vilardi in the same deal smells like PLD AND Helleybuck involved to me.
I would be surprised if they could get both PDL and Hellebuyck in one deal unless they were movng a lot more than Iaffalo and Vilardi. If for no other reason than cap space. Once PDL signs those two probably put LA over the cap on 17 contracts. They would have to move out at least two more players. Probably Arvidson and Roy. Plus teh value for Winnipeg is not there. They would probably want Byfield as well and picks to boot.Iaffalo and Vilardi in the same deal smells like PLD AND Helleybuck involved to me.
It makes them a threat yes, but I honestly still think we can beat them if we keep making our own improvements.Not that I think it'll happen but if the Kings get Hellybuick then I think they take the division.
It might be even more out because that deal would leave them about $5M in cap space after PDL signs on 16 contracts. If they resign Korpisalo that eats up most of their cap space with only 17 contracts.Honestly I think the Kings take a step back this year.
Durzi, Walker and Villardi out with PLD in… that’s over managing by Blake imo. Villardi is already a better player than PLD.
What did you expect him to say when asked directly about a teammate, it was a dumb question followed by the standard reply. That being said I think its Broberg's make or break year, and there is definitely some talent there.

Seems Iike they are planning for kopitar to slow down at some point and finding a replacement for him. I just don’t think PLD is the right one. Especially for the reported price.Honestly I think the Kings take a step back this year.

I for one am hoping they blow their wad on PLD so they aren't a threat to sign Draisaitl if he makes it to free agency. The hope is that never happens but the media guys always seem to bring up Kopitar's contract ending at the same time as Leon's.Seems Iike they are planning for kopitar to slow down at some point and finding a replacement for him.

I also don’t see how they fit helly, not that he is in this deal, in. At the moment they have 9 mill cap space with 11 forwards, 4 d and 1 goalie signed.
then the kings are trading a lot moreIaffalo and Vilardi in the same deal smells like PLD AND Helleybuck involved to me.
I feel like LA would have to add a lot more.Iaffalo and Vilardi in the same deal smells like PLD AND Helleybuck involved to me.
Yah I hear you, just thought it was kind of a lead into that answer. I do hope Broberg can bring it next year and Ekholm is a good mentor for sure.I dont know but not the "I think the world of him" he just has to not listen to the coaches and go for it sometimes sentiments you don't often hear.
If they get him and get their top 6 forward, I put them and Vegas as top 2. Oilers down at #3Not that I think it'll happen but if the Kings get Hellybuick then I think they take the division.
Not necessarily. To WPG, their 2 guys are gone 100%. They don't want to get ripped off, but I can see them doing a deal like this if they think they are getting good value players back.I feel like LA would have to add a lot more.
Players learn from these experiences, but that isn't allowed on here. Ppl want to trade for a goalie and don't want him to develop into a starter. He had one chance at becoming a legit #1 goalie in the NHL, but that chance is over b/c of one poor playoff.He played his worst hockey at the most important time. He absolutely needs to be blasted for that. He did not have one bad game he had about 3 good games and a host of terrible games in the playoffs.
If you get the kind of goaltending he gave us you are not winning no matter who you have in front of him.
A huge amount of blame also has to go to the coach who refused to make a change in this 'hot and cold' goaltender world.
The way Edm played since Ekholm, you're out to lunch. Vegas wouldn't have taken the division last year with 10 more games w/ the big viking and BouchardNot that I think it'll happen but if the Kings get Hellybuick then I think they take the division.

Man I hope he doesn't win the calder cuz that would be a slap in the face for him. Win such a prestigious award while half a fanbase doesn't want you as their goalie
Well they would be getting ripped off.If they get him and get their top 6 forward, I put them and Vegas as top 2. Oilers down at #3
