Thread: Pretender to contender
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BleedOrange23</b></div><div>I'm going to disagree, Lily is an interesting player but he is a 4/5 at best IMO and not worth a 1st. That is what we should be targeting or a combination of picks and players worth a 1st. I believe Attard will be in Philly by the end of the season. Both Andrae and Grans have there moments in LHV. If we are looking for a player in return for Walker it should be a young center not a defenseman.</div></div>

I think he has the potential to be a top 4 pairing dman in this league and he showed flashes towards the end of the year last year and a little in the playoffs. I think he is going to build on that moving forward. I honestly don't see it in Attard or Andrae, so my faith is a bit less than yours.

Regarding the young center, I completely agree, but we're not getting a young center in that ilk in a trade around Sean Walker, that's just not going to happen.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BleedOrange23</b></div><div>I dont think Philly would do this deal either, they are looking for prospects and picks. Plus the main reason that Walker is being shopped is we have too many defenseman on the NHL roster.</div></div>

Idk actually, he seems to fit the Flyers timeline, 24 y/o right now, wouldn't break the bank on a contract extension, and maybe the Leafs did all the work for us and we get another young, inexpensive, talented dman. We're looking at Sanny, Drysdale and York for a while clearly, I think all the other d spots are up in the air. And it's not like Attard, Grans, and Andrae are banging down the door.

To me, Risto and Seeler aren't part of the long term plans, Zamula may stick, but also a question mark. I think Bonk is a big part of the future as well but he will likely not be up until Michkov, perhaps a year prior but again, who knows.

Thread: Go Get Him
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hckeydude123</b></div><div>Bro Atkinson has a 5.8m cap hit, at 50% retained the team still gets hit with 2.9m in cap. The Kings have 100K in cap space, what part of this cap space thing are you not understanding? Even if Atkinson got double retained 50% by PHI and 50% by someone else the Kings still can't fit him on the roster. Unless the Kings trade or send down Avidsson/Moore/Fiala/Kempe then Atkinson doesn't fit on the roster at 1.5m and all those guys are far more valuable than Atkinson could possibly be. So yes if someone goes down in the playoffs the Kings have no choice but to call up a rookie which is exactly why they have been playing JAD Fa-g-emo Laferriere and Kaliyev all season long as a precaution.</div></div>

Lets see how that works out for ya guys, obtuse people all over the place. The cap goes up next year and the year after genius, holy ****!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hckeydude123</b></div><div>Even at 50% retained as I just explained with Arvidsson coming back there is literally no cap space. Additionally if the Kings had about 3m in cap space to use they wouldn't go after Atkinson.</div></div>

Yeah Arvidsson is back, what happens when someone else goes down and you're down 2-1 in the playoffs, you wanna bring up a rookie??? His cap hit is basically 1.5mm, you guys can easily shed that. Can never have too much depth in the playoffs, and you guys have an unreal defense, but can't put the puck in the back of the net. Ergo, get cheap, experienced scoring. Kings fans should be happy to not have you in charge of the team. He also has an expiring contract next year and will be less than 3mm for that year, so no worries about the cap space. Or just waste another year by not supplementing your lineup for anything unforeseen happening.

Thread: Need a 1C
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>vinny82</b></div><div>He is still top 5 player in the world, I think Edmonton would ask for Andrae, Brink, or Forester instead of Attard. Just my opinion.</div></div>

I would be fine with Andrae or Brink, but Foerster would give me a little pause. However, with a chance for a player like him, can you really pass him up? Guy has had 4 seasons putting up at least 105 points, and the one season he didn't reach that he had 84 points in like 55 games. He also had 32 points in 16 playoff games two years ago, and he has proven time and time again he does not rely on McDavid, he is this good on his own. You could almost call him a generational talent in my eyes - he may only be half way done his career and has almost 800 points. He's insane.
