Description

Landeskog is the dream for this year. He's a guy I overpay for, and the Kings can afford it -- now and going forward.

Saad is probably more likely, though.

To add more NHL talent on defense, go for a guy like Reilly for a short deal.

Also, Austin Wagner, Blake Lizotte, and Brendan Lemieux are legitimate roadblocks for players that need to get looks this season.

Now that Byfield is able to play in the AHL next season due to the new OHL/AHL exception, I don't think we'll see him in the Kings lineup before January at the earliest. He's going to start the season with the Reign then get loaned to the WJC.

Center Core is Cheeks, Add Danault from UFA and it looks like a hard fight for 4th in pacific and possibly 3rd but Edmonton Vegas are t2 then Vancouver/Calgary should be #3.

Yeah, I know. I probably should have mentioned that more specifically, but that's kind of what I meant by Lizotte being a roadblock. It kills me that Lizotte is going to play meaningful minutes over Byfield this year.

In the end this is the "dream" roster, as the title suggests.

Thoughts on the contracts, and roster configuration? I know that Lemieux, Lizotte, and Wagner will probably take the scratches slots unless something happens in the offseason to move them.

Agreed, but I think Landeskog can get $9-10 from Seattle with no income tax we’ll be beat out.

I don't know what "is Cheeks" means. Danault is redundant and I hope doesn't sign in LA. The Kings already have a top defensive center in the game. I don't think they need to add more than this to compete for 3rd.
