Thread: Worth a try
If you’re going to insult someone, do so using proper English. Idk if u just started skool but you’re English is subpar. Typical Sabre fan, which is laughable so let’s get that right. I said he will be, I didn’t say right now but then again you’re bit behind in English so I’ll forgive that one. The laughable part is as much as you believe that, Dahlin may not want to stay there long term so even if that’s the case, good luck with that. Especially in that type of environment, Dahlin won’t get to that level as fast as you’d like him to be. Byfield is going to be on another level soon and if not then, he will eventually be on another level even above Dahlin. Good luck with your organization. Owen Powers doesn’t even want to come there this year even though he could step right into the NHL. Now that’s laughable

I don’t disagree that Clarke could end up as good as Dahlin but he hasn’t had the healthiest environment to succeed in either. I think within a few years he’ll develop into one of the best defenseman in the league. He has a lot to contend with though so only time will tell. Either way, as a Kings fan I’m glad we have Clarke and are extremely loaded on the right side of the defense and this move overall was of course about addressing the left handed defenseman that Blake had talked about previously. Werenski, Hughes, Heiskenen all won’t be available anytime soon so this seems like the safest bet. Other than maybe Sanheim or Girard who I both like and maybe Girard could be available for a price since they have Makar, Toews, and Byram on the rise. Especially since he’s signed long term

Thread: Left D candidates
I believe Arizona will build around Chuychern and the only way Arizona would listen is if Byfield is in the conversation. I think instead of Byram, Girard would be a great add. By the end of next season he will be 24 with 4 full seasons of experience and is signed for another 5 years at 5 million a season. He’s going to be overshadowed by Makar and they could trade him because they have Byram waiting to step in. I would love Hanifin and at 25 with like 7 years of experience he’d be perfect. In that age window and would be great because he has size at 6’3 when essentially our whole defense core is around 6’0 and 200 lbs. lastly, as an older option but not by much is Morgan Reilly. He’ll be 28 and has some offensive instincts and would probably learn how to play better defensively with Doughty there. I also think it’d be good because he would be a great support for Doughty but in no way overshadow him. Those would be my 3 choices. Extra choice would be Travis Sanheim

Thread: Kings Current optimal lineup after moving Iafallo
I have to preface this with that I like this lineup and have a difficult time changing anything but since it’s a non reality that has no consequences, why not. With Iafallo traded of course. I like Matt Luff and can only surmise that Wagner has become a favorite of McClellan is why he plays so much more than Luff. Even though they just placed him on waivers , I’d insert Frk into the lineup and put him on Vilardis wing because they had great chemistry in the AHL and I’d say it’s more important to get Vilardi going/comfortable then dealing with either Luff or Wagner so I’d take either out for Frk. Id also reinsert Lizotte for Anderson. Lizotte has good chemistry with AA and Carter it seems and Anderson has a long term outlook with the team where I don’t think the same about Lizotte. In turn, this puts Lemieux on Vilardi and Frks wing which seems bizarre other than the fact Lemieux and Vilardi played some juniors together so more comfortability for Vilardi. All this said, it’d be kopitars line for first line, Carter’s line for second, Vilardis for 3rd to ease his responsibility/ competition and Moores for 4th line if you wanted a textbook breakdown of what each line is in the lineup. There’s probably some room argument over this idea but it’s how I’d look at it. Again I’m not McClellan so there’s no consequences if I’m wrong. lol
