No chance they give up their best prospect for a rental. Kings do not make that deal

Thread: Kings

I remember the old line of Kopitar, King and Carter and thought that giving some experience to Vilardi at center if he looks ready might be a better idea, while also getting some responsibility off of Carts. And I think that Toffoli with a 2017 Kopitar puts up more points than Brown, easily.

And for the Simmonds trade, we'll be glad to have some wiggle room soon with the Kovalchuk deal, so trading Muzzin now for better scoring punch while waiting for Kupari makes sense to me. Plus there's a big, big connection there. You can call me an optimistic but I think we'll be fine on defense when LaDue shows why he was so touted at the time and with a more consistant Fantenberg.

Thread: Vegas Golden Knights signed William Karlsson (1 Year / $5,250,000 AAV)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Trickster</b></div><div>Can't believe he only got 5.25</div></div>

I'd be surprised if he was a multiple time 43 goal-scorer, but as GaryMcBettman said, it's a reward for this last season and an opportunity he can score as many this year as he did last year. Dude had no choice, VGK had all the cards ; he couldn't force them into a multiple-year deal with the arbitration coming. I'm confident he's going to score a lot and get a long term deal next year

Thread: Deep enough for a Cup run

If you can't even squeeze a 13th forward, you're doing something wrong. I'm on the camp of not bringing VV back because of what we did but I could understand the arguments that he should be given a second chance.
The one thing that really ticks me off is that trade with Minnesota though. I'd rather give them Brodzinski and Muzzin and get a good prospect and a pick back. Otherwise you're screwed cap-wise in two years.

Not sure the Jets are taking that with a second and not a 1st round pick but boy I would love that very much. Forget the Buffalo deal, though.

Thread: 2017-18

No way Vegas just takes Brown like this. it'll take a lot more incentive. Gaborik has undergone surgery and is on LTIR and cannot be dealt or bought out. Toffoli and Pearson already took bridge-contracts once, they won't stay for more that money and that length of contract. Matt Greene probably won't play for the kings again, especially with LaDue and Gravel able to play his side.

Thread: (TBL / LAK) - Budaj, Cernak, picks for Bishop and pick

Kings said that the conditions are too complicated to list but they do depend on the number of games Bishop plays and how far they go in the playoff if they make it

Thread: Kings

No way. Try swapping the 1st for a 3rd and not putting Budaj in. And how is Budaj better than your tandem? Can't see it happening if either Niemi or Lehtonen isn't moved

What a wonderful world it would be if Dallas would play the cap dump for our overpaid depth players AND if you could ship another to Detroit

Colorado is not a salary dumpster, you know...
And I stand my ground : Muzzin won't be traded for a forward that has proved that he can't check and be responsible

Forum: Armchair-GMJan. 12, 2017 at 10:20 a.m.

Thread: Kings

We need Zatkoff to protect Quick, so no. Nolan is actually playing well and it's an utopia to think we can flip that kind of player to any team just to get a bit of cap space. No way the Kings get rid of McNabb and Muzzin when Gravel or Forbort would probably end up in Vegas, and Coburn is not an upgrade on Jake Muzzin. Also detail but Forbort does not play on the right side.

Thread: Planning For The Future

I like a lot of what you said, but Las Vegas has to take one of LA's player. Of course Brown or Gaborik would be great, But McNabb, Clifford seem like a better bet for now.
I'm hoping LaDue will get some time up there, he proved he can skate and think fast enough to get a look at. And Forbort actually looked decent those last games when he didn't have to account for Greene's sluggish pace. Don't count him out (or maybe trade bait)

They have better defensive prospects and LA doesn't have so many. Plus MTL were interested in Clifford and the salary dump is beneficial for LA (hence the picks to make it happen)

Agreed. That's a great move to be able to do this but I feel that Yak wouldn't be enough... Anyway it'd be awesome if Backes could sign again there

Thread: Kings of the West

Very good, I like a lot of it but impossible that McQuaid is signed at 2m and McNabb isn't brought back. Otherwise not bad at all. Still think King will be flipped for a few late rounders at the Draft to a rebuilding team in need of size and grit.

Thread: Gaborik out til playoffs

Can't see us taking on Simmond's pay AND re-sign Lucic. And Dean Lombardi isn't going to give up Zykov before getting at least one more year in Ontario to see how he's going to turn out if he has to sacrifice Lucic too.
I juste don't see it happening. Otherwise good value
