<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>StutzleCryBaby</b></div><div>Kempe lmao. Without Kopitar and Byfield he would go back to being a 40-50 point guy. Blow this team up my god.

And no, a defenseman who put up 60 points is better than a forward that puts up 70. Fiala is probably like 60th in the nhl among forwards in scoring. Matheson is 6th among Dmen.</div></div>

For the last 2 years Kempe has carried Kopitar's dying corpse on his back. Kempe is by far the Kings best offensive forward on this team.

Congrats he scored 62 points! He was also a -24. He was 302 out of 314 defenseman in +/- on the year. That means he was on the ice for 88 5on5 goals scored against the team total of 164 GA. That means he was on the ice 54% of the time a goal was scored. I know I know...but Montreal was a bad team last season. Ok, the next "worse" +/- on the Montreal defense was Guhle and he was only -8. That means Matheson was 3x worse than any other defenseman on Montreal. No amount of points is going to make up for that massive gap in offense and defensive stats.

The problem with the Kings is that can't stop McDavid and Draisaitl. Matheson isn't going to help change that. He's actually going to make it worse than what the Kings have now.

Kempe was tied for 31 and Fiala was tied for 38 in scoring for all forwards this season. So that puts them both as top tier of offensive forwards through out the whole league.

This whole debate is a joke that Matheson is better than Fiala. You can take your hate for the Kings and their players away from here.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dom1422</b></div><div>“Wanted to see if Arvidsson still fit there” what a load of ****😂 Arvidsson fits better on that line than Fiala. LA is paying two guys on their 3rd line an average of 8 mill each. Something has to give. You can’t proceed that way.

Doughty isn’t a PP QB he’s just the best for that spot on a team that lacks offensive defenseman. You guys have the most depth in the league and still can’t score… It’s because the defense is a black hole for generating offense. Btw Matheson was 6th in the nhl for scoring by defenseman, LA couldn’t even imagine having a dman that dynamic. He’s a 3rd pairing guy? Don’t be a ****ing idiot lol

LA should probably start rebuilding again. They’re a heavily flawed team. The way they’re built makes it look like they have a mentally challenged 9 year old calling the shots. Don’t even get me started on that Dubois trade and contract… dear lord😅</div></div>

It's like the Karlsson debate all over again. An offensive defenseman that doesn't actually play defense. Matheson had his best season ever this season at 11 goals and 62 points, but he was a -24. The guy cost his team way more than he actually helped offensively. LA doesn't need a guy like that. ****! They already had that guy in Durzi than they traded him for a 2nd round pick because he was a lost cause on defense like Matheson is. And while you **** on Doughty he had more goals than Matheson this year at 15.

You want to compare the two on the PP. Matheson had 5 goals and 28 points. Doughty had 7 goals and 20 points. So Doughty scored more goals on the Powerplay but Matheson's teammates scored more than Doughty's teammates.

Matheson scoring from the backend isn't going to replace the 29 goals Fiala brought the Kings last season from the "3rd line". So you're argument saying Matheson for Fiala is a good deal for LA jsut keeps proving worse and worse. Also, I brought up the fact that Clarke (one of the leagues top dman prospects) is coming up to the Kings roster this year and he is the definition of a true PP QB. You'll see LA's PP improve a lot with him on the ice.

And with Byfield moving back to Center this year (PLD to wing) you'll see Fiala in the Top6.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dom1422</b></div><div>“Plays in the bottom 6 when everyone is healthy” . As soon as Arvidsson got healthy Fiala was in the bottom 6, he was in the bottom 6 during the playoffs as well. I’m mot shocked that a complete moron like you can’t comprehend basic English though.

“Fiala &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Matheson” My god what an idiotic ****ing statement😅 considering Matheson is a top 10 offensive defenseman in the league and plays a more important position I have to disagree. Fiala isn’t one of the best in the league at anything. He’s a good player, but he’s also a small under a point per game winger who the Kings chose to play below Arvidsson on the depth chart.

Also kid, pick a damn team lol. Growing up my little sister also had 10 favorite teams😂</div></div>

I guess you are trying to troll LA fans with this trade. Because it's horrible for LA. Yes Fiala played 3rd line when Arvidsson came back but that's because LA liked Byfield-Kopitar-Kempe and wanted to see if Arvidsson still fit with the Danault line. Plus, they wanted to see is Fiala could jump start PLDs game. Not because he is a bottom6 player. LA isn't giving up one of their only scoring wingers for a 3rd pairing LD. It's an absolute joke.

And talking about a PP QB? That is always gonna be a Doughty spot and now they have an amazing PP QB coming in with Clarke at like 95% discount over Matheson.

Please leave LA out of your future trade thoughts if this is what you produce.
