Description

4th line to be played for in camp.

also poulin and puusty have a good shot at making it. went for gurden as more of a tough player and 4th liner but it's close. gave the center position to ponomarev as Carolina fans were very high on him. also Nieto if he is healthy as lw, but didn't opt for him to insert more youth.

romanov is a guy I think could fit well in our top 4. young, tough and two way d.

domi could be a good fit as well

Isles would decline - they gave up a lottery pick to get Romanov, and I don't think it's a stretch to say he's improved in the last 2 seasons since that trade. He's still cheap enough that he fits on the roster with no issue, meaning that to get him out of there you're going to need to blow them away with an offer. Pickering is an interesting prospect but nothing here blows me away enough to think about moving Romanov.

Jarry's contract is too big for the Kings, if there is no retention. But because his contract is still 4 years, I don't see why the Penguins would be open for a retetion, hence this deal is not happening.
The Kings better sign Nedeljkovic for the $2,500,000 you offered, so they save not only $2,875,000 but also their 2025 2nd round pick and 2026 6th round pick.

ok, doesn't have to be the kings, many team would need a goalie next year anyway and this price seems fair to me. I believe Ned could still extend his contract at the end of the season before free agency.

This may be happening, but I would be glad as the Kings to get Ned for that amount, especially with the Cap rising. Let's see where he's going in the end of they day.
