Team: 2019-20 Los Angeles Kings

Initial Creation Date: May 30, 2019

Published: May 30, 2019

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Think Scuderi and Williams before 2012. We traded Muzzin but still need defense. Don't think it was a good trade, but what is done is done. Kings try to trade for defenseman on a down year on a team that is selling. Bring up Durzi and keep Grunstrom up so you get the most out of the Muzzin trade that is possible. This team is built for the 2021-2022 season.

BAHAHAHA "This is about long term moves" Buddy you just traded your long term for one player. You Traded a top 25 prospect in the league in Kupari, traded a 2nd and 3rd which are going to be high picks because the kings suck, and you traded one of your young forwards in Kempe who has a huge upside and shows a plethora of promise. This is a joke.

maybe? but his buyout cost is listed at $5,416,667 for the 20-21 season. buying him out saves a bit next season but has no effect for 20/21 and eats up space the following two years idk it just seems better to hold him as a 7th D and stick it out

That 20-21 season is likely lockout season.

That's exactly what people said when the Kings traded. Williams was "injury prone" and O'Sullivan was a solid top 6 player with an additional pick going to Philly.

They either buy him out this year or next. No matter what it's $5+mill on the cap for the 2020-2021 season. It opens a roster spot for someone else who is developing such as LaDue, Durzi, or Clague. With Durzi and Clague on ELC, the massive cap hit for 1 year is not a big deal.

The Kings have a recapture of Mike Richards for the next 6 years. They just got finished with a Matt Greene buyout, they will not care about the 2 years of buyout after the $5mil year buyout.
