I'll order you a red cap and a Speedo.
...Add signs Englund to an extra year to prevent being claimed off waivers... instead doesn't do that and goes and gets Fagemo poached off waivers.

All part of the plan. It's cool....Add signs Englund to an extra year to prevent being claimed off waivers... instead doesn't do that and goes and gets Fagemo poached off waivers.

I still haven’t figured out why Blake doesn’t just trade Grundstrom because his 1.6 million is too much for a 4th line player especially given his role .
I really thought he would have established himself more by now with grit , toughness and go hard to the net . He has disappointed but apparently management is still holding out hope .

12 goals in 57 games playing 3rd/4th line minutes isnt too shabby.

Well, he's 25 now, so he's now officially exempt from any of the accountability or waiver games the kids have to play
The 4th line and their paychecks is the least of the Kings problems.
Exactly. Grundstrom is an ideal 3rd line player because at 4LW he takes the spot of someone like a Lemieux.
Look at the Ducks, they have now Gudas, Carrick and Johnston. What is our counter? Englund?
Soft soft Rob.
Jesus Christ...yes...the Ducks, they have Gudas, Carrick and Johnston, and they still suck ass and won't do shit, is that what you aspire too? Really? Playing really shitty hockey, but hey they can punch a goddamn bag pretty well.....

The wrong colored disposable cups at the front office's water cooler is probably the least of their problems. I'd put the 4th line and their paychecks somewhere around 5th on the list of Kings' problems behind goaltending, player development, Armdog constantly microwaving his leftover tilapia in the office kitchen, and lack of cap flexibility.

Fagemo isn’t really an issue for me (although losing the asset and not moving him for anything a year ago is) but they could have send Englund down and gone 12-6 for these two games. That surprises me....Add signs Englund to an extra year to prevent being claimed off waivers... instead doesn't do that and goes and gets Fagemo poached off waivers.

My math says the Kings will have to go with 17 skaters tonight, 11F 6D (assuming Arvidsson is out, day to day), they bring up Kaliyev today to start serving his suspension, and bring up another player for game #2 on the emergency call up rule if Arvidsson cannot go. The other option is to bring up another player today and push Kaliyev down the road two more games, missing 4 total.

No offense but thats utter nonsense.
Far fetched conclusion based on nothing.
One barely played for LA and the other had to do everything on his own.
Here people are anyhow obsessed with comparisons, especially when the nationality is the same.

Lewis practiced on the Danault line. Seems to me being at home they would use that as their shutdown line tonight, and hopefully get enough offense from the Kopi and Dubois lines.With Arvidsson out does Lewis get top 6 ice time?
Glad that Björnfot had a good camp & was able to earn a roster spot. People say they don't give kids like Björnfot a shot.
Looking forward to seeing what Talbot can do tonight.

Bjornfot had a 'good' camp? Is there more than one Bjornfot out there?

If Grundy plays a full season he will constantly end up with between 15 and 20 goals.
He plays hard with a lot of energy. Apparently people expect a PPG from a 4th liner. Unbelievable.
That said, his play away from the puck is very bad. Thats why he regularly is a healthy scratch.

Honestly, if Arvidsson is out, they should call up Turcotte, Thomas, or someone else. Yeah, it delays Kaliyev's return, but isn't that better than 11 F and 6 D?

Why would we have a kid like Turcotte or Thomas when we could have Lewis on the 2nd line and play shorthanded?
You just don't understand good management

Its a reasonable argument, especially with two very good teams coming into town. Going to be tough with 2 LHD on the third pairing too. It's a long season, maybe they don't want to delay Kaliyev any longer than necessary, maybe do the emergency call up option for game #2 if Arvy still can't go.

The big question: Is getting Arty back sooner worth going 11/6?
They start off with 4 pretty good opponents. 2 at home then off for 2 on the road. I'm guessing they want Arty on that trip because they can't just call someone over from Ontario like they can at home.
Something to think about, I guess.

Seems like they will do an emergency recall for game #2, then Kaliyev can join them in game #3. When Arvidsson returns (and Kaliyev is back) they can also send Laferriere down and recall Spence to give the D some balance. We'll see lots of moving parts all season.
