You thrust your pelvis, huh!
Yup, if we won the division I think we make the Cup Final as LA probably takes a piece out of Vegas and we would be matched up with the apathetic Jets.

I think having home ice in the second round makes a huge difference. People underestimate it now. Game 5 is just a huge game and you want it to be at home.

Are you talking about the Helsinki Oilers of Liga????

Finding Hyman
Wasn't around for awhile to see this query.
Weird move on surface, but the deal probably better understood given some details and with more going back to Winnipeg being paring cap and crowded roster. Briefly said Iafallo has not been worth his 4M. He's plateaued if not sunk and also in and out of lineup with injuries. he isn't a reliable part on the Kings roster in 2023. he was maybe in years earlier.
Far as Vilardi he's quite the talent, I like the player but the constant with him has been significant injury history deepsixing his career and precluding even playing. This last season was thought to be the first season where he'll be healthy but even that didn't pan out. A healthy Vilardi is worth a lot, but he isn't that. I suspect the Kings know this by now.
Kupari another talent but one the Kings have pretty clearly given up on. He had his chances and was mostly a peripheral player that looks pretty with the puck on occasion but just doesn't produce a drop.
Still, if I'm a Kings fan I don't like the trade. But in Lotusland the biggest name in the deal is coming the Kings way. PLD would have some name recognition and also adds more size.
Last comment is Kings have often had a numbers game going on and cutting some players out that werent in the lineup due to injuries a lot makes room for other prospects to be constants in the lineup.

I am not so sure I agree with your first statement unless you are willing to drop the quality part. It;s actually a rather thin UFA pool for defensemen this year.

We are talking about bottom pairing guys though.I am not so sure I agree with your first statement unless you are willing to drop the quality part. It;s actually a rather thin UFA pool for defensemen this year.

Gudas, Hamonic, OEL, Mayfield, Clifton, Schenn, De Haan.
All guys who can play the right side and shouldn't be all that expensive.
Yeah not a lot of high end guys but we aren't looking for that.

Gudas made $2.5M last year and is looking for a raise. Mayfiled is looking for $4-5M or so. If Schenn was willing to sign for $1M he would already have signed with the Leafs. My guess is he is looking for $2-3M minimum. OEL won't sign for anywhere close to $1M but if he would there is no question that he'd be a great get. Clifton is 28 and just put up 23 points with 5 goals. There is just not much there in terms of affordable quality defenders.
Posts like this are so asinine. It's the same old same old schtick. Some poster comes out of the woodworks lamenting Holland and how he does nothing, and disappear again when he does (because he's been pretty damn consistent with upgrading the team - not always a win, but he's doing alright). We'll see if you're still around once the dust settles...
Lazy poster.

Inb4 one of Vancouver/Calgary surprises and finishes 2nd/3rd in division, while LA finishes in the WC spot that faces the Oilers.
I liked JP for the previous 2 seasons, but I hated him this past season.
Say no to re-treads. No to Hall, no to Eberle, no to Sam Gagner, no to Cogliano.
Lets just move on from the past.
We don't need Petry, we don't need Pat Maroon, we don't need Lucic.
There's just better players available.
Which is why he would have value. If he was average, his contract would be immovable.
The only thing that matters is the fact that moving him would free up a net $1.8m. He's a luxury the Oilers do not have room for on their bottom pairing.
Foegele is in the same boat.

Hey guys like RNH just hide in the basement, they let others lead
That's how the Oilers run
Monsters like Mcdavid know this. They are just too nice to say it
