Thread: Adding Reinhart via Skinner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tryger</b></div><div>First off. no way Reinhart signs that. Two, no way that Skinner contract is coming to the Kings (they will have their hands full with Doughty in a few years). Three, losing Vilardi and the 8th overall, and the Kings still don't have a top LD and limited cap space for the coming year. Sorry, but these moves would get Blake fired.</div></div>

I figured my guess at a new Reinhart contract would be my biggest flaw. The loss of #8 is a pick swap for #1, so Owen Power would be your future LD (after his season at Michigan). And the upgrades at forward without losing Byfield or Turcotte would make us a playoff team in a weak division as long as the kids continue to develop. Don't think you fire he GM that returns you to the playoffs without mortgaging the future

Thread: Eichel Sergachev and Hyman
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tryger</b></div><div>Doughty was frustrated he also claimed the team was fine defensively even though they were 11th worst and 9th worst in goals against and shots against per game. This was a prove it year to see what prospects can make the jump to the NHL: Andersen, Bjornfot, JAD, Moore, and Anderssen graduated, while Grundstrom, Luff, Wagner, Strand, and Clauge are still on the bubble. He knew what a rebuild was, the team may make a big swing but it will likely be for a top-6 winger or a vet d-man for a no more than 2 years until some more of these prospects are ready.</div></div>

When 16 of your 56 games (28.5%) are against Colorado and Vegas - the two best teams in the league according to the sports books - those goals/shots against are going to be skewed, no? They were 3-13 against those 2 teams and -27 goal differential.
