This teams gonna get real good unfortunately

Also yeah that Jeff Carter buyout seems like a real plausibility - would be interesting to see what he does and where he goes if he stays

I'm not a Kings fan so I was wondering if they'd keep Brown on the 1st line, as of rn imo I think they will until his contract ends. It's a mix of getting as much as possible out of Brown with that money given to him along with avoiding overplaying the young guys.

Don't think they'll buy out Carter, especially if Luff is the replacement option. Luff is not a NHL player and is likely to go the way of Johnny Brodzinski.

Carter is still a good offensive player. He's not the two-way stalwart he once was. He's significantly overpaid, but if the Kings retain 50% of his contract, someone will take the final year of his contract.

Also what happened to Mikey Anderson? He's the 2LD of this team going forward, and a much better option than Ian Cole.

I was considering trading Carter, but I feel the buyout won't be as bad since it'll only be 2 years. I'm not too familiar with Michael Anderson, I assumed that 6 NHL games played with not the greatest numbers down in the minors was a sign of a 3rd pairing dman peak, but looking back I may have been too harsh. Also, Ian Cole is criminally underrated, he's a poor mans Shea Theodore with is not an insult at all.

Brown will play on the 1st line until someone unseats him. Kaliyev and Fagemo are the current two options to do that, and they're still at least a full season away from making the NHL. They're unlikely to be ready for 1st line minutes as rookies, so it's a solid assumption that Brown will retain 1RW duties until his contract ends, unless they pursue someone via UFA or trade.

Why wouldn't a buyout be as bad? It doubles the length of the remaining cap hit. If they buy him out next summer, they have a $4M cap hit on the books for 2021-22 as well as a $667k cap hit in 2022-23. If they bury him in the AHL, they'll only have a $4.1M cap hit in 2021-22 and no cap hit in 2022-23. If he chooses not to report to the AHL and retires instead, the Kings will have a $3.27M recapture penalty for 2021-22. Buying him out doesn't make any financial sense.

If the Kings want to be rid of his contract, then the best option is to trade him. If they can't trade him for some reason and still don't want him taking a roster spot, then they should send him to Ontario. Either he reports or he doesn't, both would be better options financially for the Kings.

I'm sure Ian Cole is a fine defenseman, but he doesn't have a place on a rebuilding team. The Kings really like Anderson and he will be a mainstay on the Kings blue line for a long time.

Good to know, thanks for the input! First time doing a Kings Armchair. Although i’m extremely confident in my hockey knowledge, Kings are probably at the bottom since their roster is so young and inexperienced in some parts.
