Thread: help me out
Kempe is a quality two-way forward and one of the best skaters in the league. His top speed doesn't rival someone like McDavid, but his acceleration and edge-work are among the league best. He's solid defensively and can kill penalties. He pretty much single-handedly solved the Kings league-worst power play issues from 2018-19, as they couldn't figure out a way to enter the zone with possession. Kempe is able to skate it in off the drop nearly every time.

The Kings started out with him at 3C, but his faceoffs are terrible (35ish %), and he's not fantastic at distributing the puck to his wingers. They moved him to LW and he has been significantly better.

A lot of Kings fans have begun to expect him to be a top-six contributor, and are disappointed when he doesn't put up big numbers. IMO, if you expect him to be a top-six player, you will be disappointed. He has the chops to be one of the best third-liners in the league, and will also be a staple at special teams on both ends of the ice. He'll be good for 15g/40p each season, with about a third of those points coming on the power play.

Thread: Krug no CBO
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OkBoomer</b></div><div>Krug probably only gets that much if he stays w Boston on a discount. I was hearing that on the open market he gets close to 9</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsForEver</b></div><div>There's no chance he gets that. If he does, whatever GM signs him deserves to be fired.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CLR</b></div><div>In the current situation with no cap increase... it is gonna be tough for him to get 9...</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DiehardRedWingsFan58</b></div><div>My pleasure Krug isn't signing in Montreal, And no freaking way he takes 7 mil to play there. On the open market he'll easily get between 7.5 mil to 8.0 mil He's home in Michigan staying at his Wifes Parents home pretty much tells me all i need to know.</div></div>

That's the target probably but he'll end up with somewhere between $7,5M-$8M as <a href="/users/DiehardRedWingsFan58" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@DiehardRedWingsFan58</a> said.

And it's not like he's signing in Montreal so
