Thread: Whats The Plan
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CanucksTilliDIE</b></div><div>Do you really think Cal is going to be the guy?! I don't. yeah hes got solid numbers in a small sample size so far in the NHL..... but he just moves so weird to be in the net.. and cmon Mikey compared to Parik and Ingham....... not close bud sorry...</div></div>

Everything being said and shown on the ice currently is that Cal is the foreseeable future for the Kings in net. If that seems to not be the case when they become contenders again, maybe they make a change. But they aren't trading their 2nd best defenseman for it; not now, or in a couple years. Much more likely that they look at picking up Wallstedt in the upcoming draft with where they are likely to be placed. In addition, the Kings have absolutely no need for another "top 9 winger", which is a great way of saying bottom 6 forward. He has no value to LA in a trade like this. Thanks though.

Thread: Ekholm
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SevenLeg</b></div><div>I'm not a fan of giving away a 1st round pick for a guy who :
1- Won't put us over the top right now
2- Will need to be re-signed next year, and will join two other dmen paid long term in their 30s</div></div>

I think Ekholm will put us almost at the top, and be welling to highly pay for him, but I wouldn’t extend him after is current deal. So Struble + 1st + another small piece ( not Fleury ), for 2 runs with Ekholm seems worth it.
