<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bigZ98</b></div><div>Yes but do u really wanna go through the PR hell of signing him? Also that guy is POS and should never be allowed in the league ever again</div></div>

Keep in mind he was 24 or 25 and ****faced when he did it. He is almost 30 now. He is still married to the same wife and they have 2 girls. NHL has already investigated him to determined if anything has happened since and nothing has. He screwed up, learned from it, and now has an opportunity of a 2nd chance with the NHL. If I am General Manager in a playoff spot I look at it like this: If the NHL has decided he has earned his right to play in the NHL again and has paid his dues, then I ask myself this question: Can Slava Voynov help my team win? Your fkn A right he can. SIGNED. If many in the fanbase don't like it, they will get over it. Especially when they see him play. Voynov is doing very well in the KHL right now and already has 2 Stanley Cups, he knows what it takes to win.

Thread: Why not
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>You have a funny idea of what constitutes a good start. And of how team defense works. Nah, I'll happily take Kyrou's production, which will eclispse Kovy's in no time. Dude, I watched him play KHL for SKA in person several times - he was slow for that league two years ago. Huge no thanks.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>burg</b></div><div>There’s no guarantee that Backstrom will be the same player at the end of his contract, plus I think he’ll end up re-signing in Washington. I can say the same about Torey Krug and Mikael Granlund. Those were exactly the same problems that Ken Holland had near the end of his tenure as Red Wings GM. Ok, Granlund and Krug are still young, but they’ll be out of their prime by the time their contracts are up.</div></div>

I'm not worried as much about Krug. Granlund at 6M bc his value has obv dropped, It won't be that bad, cap is only going to go up. Within 3 years we are probably going to look at 6M contracts the way we look at 4M contracts with the cap going up and players wanting more money. I agree with you on Backstrom I am sure he will resign in Washington. Backstrom to the Wings is a big stretch. Maybe Granlund can be tried at C or maybe Veleno will be ready, who knows.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>We don't need him. He doesn't fit in our system. He's getting slow. His skills are slipping fast. He'd take ice time away from Kyrou. Need any more?</div></div>

Can help with additional goal scoring with Tarasenko gone, having a defensive system helps with his defensive flaws because everyone around him is good defensively, he’s actually not very slow at all, his skills are fine he got 34 points last year with an injury and playing on the 3rd and 4th lines while being harassed by the head coaches, Blues are in a possibly to repeat another cup and Kyrou is young and won’t produce as much as Kovi in the top 6. Kovalchuk was off to a good start this year. It wasn’t his fault. The Kings haven’t been fair to him one bit.

Thread: Kovalchuk is Gone But Not Forgotten
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Agreed, but as my construction shows, unless I am way off on how much the internal re-signings are going to cost, there isn't much room for a free agent unless Blake can move either Jeff Carter or Jonathan Quick off the books.

I hope that "The Plan" includes not getting shoved down to fifth place in the draft. Kirby Dach or Kaapo Kakko sure would make a difference. Maybe Turcotte will eventually have a similar impact.</div></div>

Kings will have a lot of cap space. The only one that will get over 2m is Walker and I project it being a 2M for 3 years type of deal. Possibly less not more. Cliffy will be less than 1.5m long term. 4 years or so.

Kings can look like this if they wanted:
Hall Kopitar Brown
Carter Turcotte Vilardi
Kempe Anderson-Dolan Simmonds/Grundström
Clifford Lizotte Wagner
Amadio

Bjornfot Doughty
Muzzin Barrie
Martinez Walker
MacDermid

Petersen
Quick
Campbell

Thats without trading Carter and Quick. If they traded Carter that’s almost another 6M in cap space.
