<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GuyGuyGuy</b></div><div>1. More likely to bounce back? The Kings litterally did everything they can to save him
2. Considering he was playing with Kyle Connor and Nikolaj Ehlers, it shows more about him producing only if he has superstar teammates
3. If you look at any PLD trade, there is 2 choices :
Habs fan trying to use their cap space and getting good players in compensation (and it’s probably the same ones that keep making Zegras trades)
Kings fan dumping PLD to Montreal with an outrageously low compensation</div></div>

1. They definitely gave him opportunities to succeed which didn't work out that's for sure, day 1 they paired him with Fiala which didn't work then tried Kempe which didn't work. He seemed to work well with Arvi when he came back but that was only a small handful of games. He basically played the whole season with a rookie on his wing which would be hard for anyone.
2. No doubt he needs someone that can produce cause the guy barely plays defense which is what the Kings are known for which is why his lack thereof production is so heavily highlighted.
3. Acknowledging he's a good player like you did says it all. And you won't find a Kings fan dumping PLD to MTL lol Kings FANS are fully aware MTL isn't willing to give up what we would want in return for PLD which is why Kings FANS don't trade him to MTL.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GuyGuyGuy</b></div><div>1. Dvorak and Anderson also had awful years. Anderson passed from a 20 goal score to a 20 pts scorer.
2. What tells you he will be better? Seems like every strategy has been tried in LA. He won’t get a lot better, and even if he get back to like 50 pts, he would be MASSIVELY overpaid.
3. Nobody is talking about the realistic factor of the trade. If it was realistic, Hughes would have told Blake to f*ck off already
4. Nobody ever said that. It’s only LA fans trying to dump him</div></div>

1. No doubt about it all three guys had bad years but PLD is far more likely of the three to bounce back.
2. Considering that 2 seasons ago he scored 60 pts and the season after 63pts he was getting better every season in his production. He took a step back in his production because of his new environment/team/system.
3. No actual Kings fans have posted a trade getting rid of PLD, take this guy for example. This guy doesn't have a "favorite team" selected in his bio but all his trade are MTL trades with other teams so who do you think he roots for?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GuyGuyGuy</b></div><div>1. Dvorak and Anderson both got a down year
2. Pld has 7 year of bad contract, Dvorak and Anderson have 4 combined
3. Both players combine are 21m. PLD is 60m. The cost to take on 40m is way more than a late first, a mid project and a young prospect</div></div>

1. PLD had a down year and still outscored both of those guys combined, granted Dvorak didn't play a full season so that doesn't have much weight but Anderson did and PLD doubled him in points mainly playing on the 3rd or 4th line.
2. PLD is on a brand new team playing a totally different style of hockey so him having a bad year isn't crazy to see happen. Is he going to play like this for the next 7 years? Of course not, he is not going to be this bad for 7 yrs.
3. If this trade was formed strictly for longevity of the money the Kings would save just as much money buying PLD out (buyout costing 27m) then trading him and saving assets so that doesn't make sense.
4. MTL fans see there is still potential for PLD to become that 1C/2C that he is suppose to be but they think because of one bad season they are going to get him for the bad contracts they have like this is some kind of charity.
