Future Pt 1
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kings989</b></div><div>Just read an article about the NHLPA voting. Players voted Doughty one of the top D along with Josi, Carlson, And Hedman. That to me says a lot. When your Peers think your one of the best it says a lot. So to all those fans of other teams that continually trash Doughty and say he’s not good, I think this says different. Coming from the people that play against him. Do i wish his contract was 8 instead of 11 million of course. But that doesn’t make him a bad player.</div></div>
I know I saw that! That made my day. Still a top 5 defender and don't worry, his production will increase as we get closer to the end of this rebuild. I truly believe he'll be one of those players that's good until they are 40!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kings989</b></div><div>Yeah I’ve been thinking about that! Muzzin got us a first, grunion and durzi. Now I’m not comparing them as players but as top 4 D men. So I’m guessing this trade would depend on how much value Kupari has. If the rangers believe he is still an elite prospect then removing walk and pro would probably work. I’d start by offering the Rangers Kupari, Grunion, Durzi and add from there. If we kept Walker and Roy we are losing one in the expansion draft. I haven’t done the math but I know we have to leave a certain amount of signed experienced players exposed but I’d like to get out of that without losing a key component moving forward.</div></div>
You guys might be interested in my preliminary Expansion Draft breakdown:
Protected: Kopitar, Iafallo, Kempe, Lizotte, Moore, Grundstrom, Frk; Doughty, Walker, Hutton (if re-signed); Petersen.
Exposed: Brown, Carter, Amadio, Wagner, Luff, other Reign; Roy, Clague, MacDermid; Quick.
Exempt: Prokhorkhin, Kupari, Vilardi, Fagemo, Thomas, Anderson-Dolan, Turcotte, Madden, Anderson, Bjornfot, Durzi, 5 others.
I like what Frk and Hutton bring.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kings989</b></div><div>I like it. You put a lot of thought into this!! Just read part 4 and if that’s the team we end up with wow what a fun team to watch. I love the Sergachev idea. As I’ve mentioned I believe next year we would draft in the 10-20 neighborhood so giving up a 1st for a proven, young, super talented D I have no issue with. The draft is a crap shoot especially after the top 5 or so. Also the DeAngelo trade is fine with me. Last time I believe you had Roy in there and I like swapping in walker, Kupari I think he may end up like Wagner, fast but no finish, Grunion and Pro don’t seem to fit what coach likes and durzi is a ways off. So now Doughty, Sergachev, DeAngelo are protected in expansion draft so that leaves Roy vulnerable. The Kopi trade I like assuming Vilardi and Turcotte become what we think they will be. But I doubt it happens. I like that you have Parik as the backup. Now this is a kid we don’t hear much about. Watched him play twice as well as occasional highlight videos. This kid makes highlight real saves multiple times a night. Reminds me of Quick in the sense that he battles, you think he’s done and he comes sliding across feet and arms going every direction and makes the save out of nowhere. He even scored a goal so his puck handling is pretty good, and his celebration was epic. Kids got tons of energy and He’s a fighter, never gives up, that’s something you can’t teach and other players feed off that, we used to see that with quick all the time, big sprawling save, we go the other way and score. He could push Peterson if he reaches his potential I believe. and we’ve had great luck with Billy getting goalies dialed in. I think Billy will calm him down a bit, work on his positioning and ability to read a play so he doesn’t have to make so many of those saves but he will always have that athletic ability to do it when needed. I really like this kid. But overall good job man. These are so hard to do. So many variables but we are looking good. I’m real excited about this teams future. When we first won the cup I wasn’t even this excited. That team was all heart and soul and fight. I liked them but I’ve never seen the kings stockpiled with this much potential. Training camp is gonna be epic. Guys are gonna have to really push to get a spot now!!</div></div>
Thanks man!!! I appreciate the feedback as always!!! Most of this is longshots and will never happen, but hopefully someone shows it to Blake bc if you see part 4 and everyone reaches there potential, that's a dynasty team.

I would love to keep Vilardi at C, but he's the only center that has played a significant amount of time on the wing. I imagine once Kopitar retires he'll be the #1 center.

nj draft trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kings989</b></div><div>Yeah the Stevens hire was bad. Agree. Willie D I read after the fact that he was hired knowing that Blake was hiring Tmac at the end of the season. Tmac wanted that whole season for family reasons. Willie was just trying to get his foot back in the nhl. That’s why the interim label was never removed. True or false who knows. One issue I had with Lombardi was our first round picks. He was very involved with the first round selections and we ended up with guys like Forbort, Lewis, Colton Teubert etc. instead of Giroux, Tarasenko etc. I think the only one I agreed with at the time was Doughty and that was a no brainer. When Futa and Yannetti were allowed to do their thing in the later rounds we ended up with guys like Quick, Martinez, Toffoli etc so I do give Blake credit for letting his scouts run the draft cuz it’s easy to be a power trip when your a boss. He’s let his guys do their thing and look at the talent we have now and upcoming. I said before I’ve been a fan since before Gretzky and I’ve never seen us have such a stockpile of talent. I believe Blake has done well in signing free agent prospects as well. Peterson, Walker, Lizotte, Rempal, Brinkley, your fav Iafallo,lol, I’m sure I’m forgetting some. I’ve also been pretty satisfied with his trades. The only 2 I didn’t like are the Pearson trade and Kabalik but no one saw Kubalik doing what he’s done. That’s hindsight. My main complaint was signing Kovy. After that Vegas series it was pretty clear to me that our team was done. I thought the rebuild showed of started that summer. So my mind will be made up the next 2 seasons. I think we are loaded with prospects and it will be interesting to see who he keeps, who he packages for help, free agents etc. I think the next 2 years will cement where he stands as a GM. Much respect to your opinion, we are both pulling for the same thing. I’m on the Sergachev train right there with you!!!!</div></div>

nj draft trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kings989</b></div><div>Don’t remember if I asked you this brother but why exactly do you hate Blake so much? I know you think I’m a Blake guy, I’m not yet he’s made some mistakes, but he’s also helped build quite a future. So I haven’t exactly made up my mind. Lombardi made some goofs too that I didn’t like but the end result was 2 cups so end result being how could I not like that. Every GM makes some horrible moves. As all of us on here know sometimes a trade is all about perspective lol! Or maybe you just don’t like him and don’t know why 😂😂I get that too, some people do that to me. Just curious.</div></div>
Lombardi built a contender almost from the ground up and the result was 2 stanley cups, almost 3. He did whatever it took to win. That's why I love Lombardi.
As far as Blake goes, my issues with him started from the very beginning. He hired the worst head coach in Philadelphia Flyers because "he's a great friend and a hockey fan and my family knows him" the success of that season is on the players not that coach he had no system. Then fired him the next season after taking forever to realize how trash he is. There were plenty quality coaches out there. Then he makes Willie D the interm head coach? One of the worst coaches in Vancuvers history. I was so upset when he hired Todd, but luckily Todd seems to know what he's doing. We haven't had a coach like that since Daryl Sutter. We should have hired Alain V imo though.
As far as the prospects go all that credit goes to Yannetti and all of his scouts. Blake does really nothing in that area. All Blake has to do is not trade any of those picks.
So ask yourself this, what has Blake really done other than make mistakes up in that office?
If I'm the Kings owners I want him to make a splash this off season picking up RFA defensemen. To show he's in for the success if the future. Any GM can just sit back and let the scouts draft. Unless he wants to spend another 5+ years doing what he's doing now he could make this very easy and go after Sergachev and/or Deangelo and draft a winger in the 1st round and let the kids play and in 3 years we could be contenders again, who knows. It wouldn't be rushed either. We already have the best pipeline. Most rebuilders pickup a couple players from other teams in the rebuilding process.

Now back to LA, they might rebuild, they might not. They have some comedically bad contracts to work around that belong to rapidly declining players that go on for years. Any rebuild that comes from the Kings is going to be several years in the making. More than 3 easy, but if you'd rather have that than be within earshot of being a contender than sure, you do you.

We have over 30M to work around "bad contracts" and 0 expensive RFAs to resign in the next 2-3 years. Theres nothing to "work around" lol.
