Thread: KINGS
I think Trotz will not accept that and he has been having an outrageous asking price for Saros.
Saros definitely is an elite goalie, but the asking price would be more justifiable, if he was top 3 in the NHL in all categories.
But, for example his SV% (.906) is tied 24th, his GAA (2,86) is tied 26th among all goalies that played >25 games. Eventually, he has the most wins, while starting 64 times in the regular season (as often as no other goalie), but especially his SV% and GAA just don't justify the high asking price in my opinion.
He is definitely worth a 1st + NHL ready prospect (like Pinelli) + Kaliyev type caliber + maybe another 4th round pick. But honestly, that should do it. He will also ask for an extension that will be in the Hellebuyk region after next year.

Ultimately, I think he won't be moved before next season, because i don't see any team being willing to overpay

Thread: What Playoff Lines Should Be
Watching game 1 was a tough time to be honest, but I know the Kings will come prepared for game 2 and they will adjust. The Oilers have capitalized phenomenally well on the Kings mistakes, as they did also in the past years. Whether Kopi or Danault will be matched up against 97, both have to step up their game to reduce their chances to a minimum. Danault literally played his worst game in the Kings uniform, but he is surely aware of that, as well. I also wouldn't say that Talbot lost the game, it was definitely a matter of our first D-pair, Danault and Kopi. Nevertheless, I'd expect Talbot to be as intimidating as possible. If he can make some incredible saves, this can also be the turning point sometimes.

The biggest keys for me, besides matchups and individual performaces are discipline and to use the chances, that are there. The Oilers are 3/4 on their PP, while the Kings are 0/2. They gotta be more lethal on their on PP and stay out of the box. I disagreed with the first call against PLD but the penalty Moore took is exceptionally awful.
Arvy had a breakaway to make it 2:1, he had a wide open net on a beautiful pass by Kempe, but couldn't convert. They need to score on such good chances.
The Kings need to get their big guns started and I think they are absolutely aware of that and will be ready for game 2.
