Thread: can they keep marchy

Yes. LA would be willing to trade for Hague if he is available. Also, would take Roy if Vegas needs more cap room.

Forum: Armchair-GMApr. 11 at 5:53 p.m.

Thread: This is how Marchessault stays

LA will take both of Hague and Roy! What does Vegas need other than cap space.

Thread: Isles Changing Things Up

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nightowl26</b></div><div>isles aren't moving Pullock for that. How about D-Clarke instead.</div></div>

Clarke isn't for sell!

Why would the Kings trade Kaliyev, Spence and a 2nd for Pullock @ 6.1m, when they can just give Roy that money and keep the assets?

The problem is that the Kings don't have enough cap space to sign both Byfield and Roy, if Byfield doesn't take a small bridge deal. That means they can't afford Pullock at all. That doesn't even consider that a RHD is the least of the Kings issues.

They need high end scoring wingers, a 3rd pairing big physical LHD, and 2 goalies all on the cheap.

Thread: Kings Offseason

You have Roy, Arvidsson, Kaliyev signed for $11m and its more likely that at least 2 guys (if not all 3) don't come back next season. Highly doubt Kaliyev comes back next season (moved at draft). If Roy comes back next season then Arvidsson won't be back and if Roy is too expensive then Arvidsson could be back on a cheap 1 year @ 2m or less deal. The Kings won't move Spence until they know what is happening with Roy and they don't have a need for Drury that they can't fill from within the organization.

There is plenty of money to give to Byfield. While he is breaking out this year, he really hasn't done enough to get more than the Kempe range 5.5-6m a year.

Also your lines are horrible.

Thread: Byfield

Think about what you'd want for Thompson and that's what it would take to get Byfield. I get that it's over the top but LA isn't moving the next Franchise Center without a massive over pay.

Thompsons first 4 NHL seasons he had 145 games played with 35 points before he started to breakout in his 5th season. Now Byfield in his first 4 seasons has 164 games played with 82 points and looks to be breaking out a year before Tage. LA isn't trading another star before they breakout like they did with Faber.

Heck no! That makes LA worse than this year. They would score less than this years team and give up more goals. Awful!

Thread: Rumoured BLOCKBUSTER that got nixed

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jfkst1</b></div><div>I didn't hear it ran out of time at all. My understanding from Seravelli and Friedman is that Ullmark blocked LAK from his NTC and refused to waive. I've heard from multiple BOS fans that Ullmark has most west coast teams on his NTC list.</div></div>

A couple of Kings writers that have ties to the team came out and said LA wasn't the team Ullmark nixed the deal to. My guess is that he would kill a deal to LA too. But here in LA the rumors were Blake was looking into Ullmark after he killed a deal but Blake didn't want to move anyone off LA's roster and had no cap space with Arvidsson soon to come off of LTIR

Thread: Trying Something Different

LA isn't moving Turcotte as he is finally healthy enough and is breaking into LA's Top9. Maybe Roy's rights + Jack Hughes for Buium

Forum: Armchair-GMMar. 17 at 6:18 p.m.

Thread: Rumoured BLOCKBUSTER that got nixed

Definitely wasn't rumored at all. Multiple people have said LA and Boston were working an Ullmark deal after he said no to another deal but ran out of time. But PLD wasn't apart of the deal. It's believed that Blake was calling teams to gauge their interest in PLD quietly and someone leaked it but he wasn't apart of any deals.

Thread: Next season

For the 10,000th time, LA doesn't want Harris! LA needs a LHD Dman like Guhle or Xhekaj. A big physical stay at home/two-way Dman. Harris would be like 5th on LA's LHD depth chart right now.

Anderson-Doughty
Gavrikov-Roy
Englund-Spence
Moverare-Clarke

LA will most likely be losing one of Roy or Spence this offseason to give Clarke a spot as he is ready for a full time NHL role. LA would be looking to upgrade on Englund's toughness, grit, and defensive play. Someone that can step into Gavrikov's spot if he leaves the following year

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>That would be way too much. Mid pick is about as they are worth.</div></div>

I understood all that before. Was asking what the cost would be for Buium?

And would Roy's rights plus something get Buium?

Thread: cap shenanigans

What's the price on Hague? Also Roy? LA could use either guy and hopefully both if Vegas needs some cap room.

Thread: DRWHC

What would Shai Buium cost the Kings? Could Roy's rights get him?

Thread: Variation of Ferraro deal and UFA Monahan

LA doesn't need anymore offensive Dmen. LA needs a big physical stay at home LHD that can PK and drop the gloves from time to time. They have their offensive guys in Clarke and Spence coming up with Doughty running the top PP at the moment. No need for Bean. Would also have to be a cheap Dman as they have little cap space and only 3rd pairing Dman available.

Thread: LA Kings front runners for Toffoli

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Only if Jack changes his name to Jacques Hughes

I think it ends up being a 1st alone or prospect and 2nd</div></div>

We can call him Jack Jack or JJ Hughes.

I think it will be a 2nd and prospect. But I don't think it will be from LA. They just don't have the cap space or movable prospects to make it work. LA is building around Byfield, Clarke and Turcotte.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Toffoli at 25% is $1m….plus some salary going to NJ…I’m sure they figure it out</div></div>

Fine. Toffoli at 75% and Graham Clarke for Jack Hughes, conditional 3rd, Lizotte.

Conditions are...if Kings lose in the first round it's a 3rd round pick. If the Kings make the 2nd round it becomes a 2nd and if the Kings make the western conference finals its a 1st.

Thread: Habs TDL

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JeffGorton</b></div><div>Thats jsut not true, hed be 10th, 3 points behind Kaliyev for 9th for Kings forwards. And hes a a cup winner, and half decent in the playoffs</div></div>

As an LA fan, no his not. When he was younger and before he broke his leg, he was decent. But after he's a shell of his former self.

The only people on LA that has played more than 20 games that Pearson has more points than are Lizotte and Englund. A 4th line Center that's been injured and a 7th defenseman/career AHL guy.

LA wouldn't take Pearson even if he was free on waivers at league minimum. Which he is not!

Thread: News changes fast

The Kings have zero cap space to fill out their full roster. When everyone is healthy the have $200,000 for a 21 man roster. Not enough cap to even have a complete 23 man roster. Yet, you want them to trade for a $5m winger? I think not!

Forum: Armchair-GMMar. 7 at 9:35 p.m.

Thread: I would take Goodrow in a NYR deal

LA doesn't have the cap space to take on Smith or any large contract. When their full roster is healthy (should be all back by the end of the month), they will have around $200,000 in cap space for a 21 man roster.

Thread: toffoli to LA

Like they said above, LA isn't trading their "goalie of the future" for Toffoli. LA has zero cap space for Toffoli.

Thread: bunting

So LA had to trade the better goalie and better defenseman, plus add in a 1st and Kaliyev. Wtf kind of horrible trade is that? Not to mention that LA has zero cap space for any moves let alone a struggling 5m goalie. LA declines and blocks your number.
