Not sure why not. Talbot/Rittich have outperformed Samsonov/Woll this season. A lot of Kings fans are advocating for starting Rittich over Talbot against the Oilers.

2024 starting lineup
Neither Kaliyev nor Turcotte deserve that much money. Spence deserves significantly more.
After Rittich's performance this season, there's no way he'd agree to that contract. If he did accept it for some reason, there's absolutely no way he doesn't get claimed off waivers.
I'd rather run with Rittich/Portillo than Samsonov/Nedeljkovic.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tryger</b></div><div>I think we were gifted Byfield somewhat slumping to the end of the season in regards to his contract, but Gavrikov's game has made me incredibly worried about moving forward without Roy. If Roy walks we will need to get not only a shutdown defenseman, but better defensive forwards to offset his loss.
If Arvidsson returns under such a contract, I am totally ok with most of the Kings forward group, and Arvy does seem happy here, but he is also 31. Trying to be an unbiased fan, he should be chasing his 3-4 year most guaranteed money contract with his injury history. But if he gifts us that type of contract, I would be over the moon.</div></div>
After missing all but a handful of games this season, why would a team be willing give Arvidsson a 3-4 year contract at the AAV he wants?
He would be better served signing the one-year deal as a "show me" deal, collecting $4M+ in games played bonuses, then extending the following summer to a 2-3 year deal having proven that he's healthy enough to play that long.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tryger</b></div><div>The Kings need someone under $3M to help fill Arvidsson's departure. Smith is one year removed from a 26-goal season on a pacific division rival and is defensively responsible. He could play an Iafallo role on the top line allowing Byfield and Fiala to wing PLD.
The Kings have already been rumored to be circling around this player.</div></div>
They can't afford it.
Also, Arvidsson hasn't left yet. Because he missed so much of this season with injuries, Arvidsson is eligible for the Connor Brown contract with games played bonuses. This allows them to defer all but the league minimum salary to 2025-26 when the cap will be $92.1M.

Could be. Like I said, I don't think Kaliyev will be moved in a trade like that. I suspect he'll get moved in a package for something that will help the Kings immediately.

Hard to say, because I don't know that the Kings would be looking to move either guy for just futures. They'd likely be looking to make a package trade.
If the Kings were to move them, I'd say that Kaliyev would probably cost a late 2nd or prospect equivalent. Spence would probably cost two 2nds.

There will be room for Turcotte because the Kings can't afford to re-sign Blake Lizotte.
Turcotte has been good when he's been healthy. WIth the cap crunch season, they're going to have a lot of room for skilled and inexpensive younger players. I expect Turcotte, Akil Thomas, Alex Laferriere, and Samuel ****emo all to have spots in the Kings bottom six next season. Arvidsson, Kaliyev, Lizotte, and Grundstrom all likely won't be back. Trevor Lewis could potentially come back on another league minimum deal, but I expect him to sign in Utah.

Gibsons Value
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jfkst1</b></div><div>You're selectively ignoring the fact that Gibson isn't outplaying other ANA goalies in the same period with a massive sample. So no NHL front office is stupid enough to think half a decade of play isn't indicative of what the player is. And what Gibson is showing to be is an overpaid average at best soon to be 31 year old goalie. No organization is giving anything more than a liability back to Verbeek. Hence why Gibson will be staying in Anaheim to "lead" Anaheim to another bottom five season like he has done for years now.</div></div>
I'm not ignoring that. I've addressed that.
Dostal is a quality goaltender. Just like Gibson, he'd be a highly desirable asset if he were made available. His numbers are not substantially better than Gibson's.
Cal Petersen put up better numbers than Jonathan Quick when they played in a tandem. Does that make Petersen a better goaltender than Quick?
A goaltender's play behind a poor team is not indicative of how well they'd play behind a good team. An average goaltender than plays average behind a bad team won't become a quality goaltender behind a good team. A good goaltender can play poorly behind a terrible team and still be a good goaltender behind a good team.

The Ducks have been absolutely terrible since 2019. That's no coincidence.
The Kings were terrible for 3 years while they were retooling. For each of those 3 years, Drew Doughty was "terrible," and "over the hill," and "one of the worst contracts in the NHL." This season he just finished arguably the single best season of his career.
Put a decent team in front of Gibson and he'll look every bit like the top quality goaltender he was pre-2019.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Byrr</b></div><div>The problem with the 'bad team' argument is that his backups are always playing better behind that same team.</div></div>
Not significantly. Last season, Gibson put up a .899 SV%, which is almost exactly league average. The median save percentage by teams last year was .8985. Dostal put up a .901 playing a backup role (i.e. easier starts). Keep in mind that Dostal is a highly regarded young goaltender that is expected to be a quality starter in the league.
I'm not saying that Gibson should be getting Vezina votes or anything, but he's definitely still a quality goaltender in the league. I'm a Kings fan that absolutely can't stand the Ducks, and I have no problem admitting that.

No, it came out as a rumor last summer that Gibson had said that he would never play another game for the Ducks, and he had to come out and publicly deny that. The Ducks said they had no intention of trading him.
His numbers don't look good, but he has had one of the single worst teams in the league playing in front of him for the last several years.

The Ducks don't need the cap space, and I don't think they'll sell low on Gibson. He just had another season with poor numbers through very little fault of his own.
Unless someone gives up a pretty substantial haul for him, I think Gibson will be in Anaheim for at least another season.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KINGS67</b></div><div>Hmmm. I don’t think so to be honest.</div></div>
Alex Turcotte is waiver eligible next season. Turcotte is also no longer an AHL player. He has been really good for the Kings while he's been healthy. The problem is that he can't stay healthy.
If he is healthy, he'll be in the NHL lineup, if he's not, he'll be on LTIR. There's no risk of losing him to waivers.
I don't think the Kings are looking to shop Turcotte right now. With Byfield's extension looming, I think they're looking for as many inexpensive skilled players as they can find for the bottom six. Thomas, Turcotte, and Laferriere will all be on the squad next season. Helenius and ****emo will get a good long look as well.

Getting creative and can Stamkos fix powerplay
The Kings can't afford another seven-figure, bottom-six forward.
They're already on the hook for Talbot's $1M bonus next season, and Byfield's carry over bonus to next season could be as high as $942,500. After factoring in Byfield's extension and the need for a starting goaltender, there's no room for someone like Smith at $2.5M. I don't think Grundstrom will be back, and I think even Lizotte is a question mark because his performance has earned him a raise.
We'll very likely see all of Alex Laferriere, Akil Thomas, and Alex Turcotte in the starting lineup next season. Guys like ****emo and Helenius will be given a long look as well.

Helly is probably going to win the Veznia this year and he signed his extension this year. Maybe the days of the monster contracts for goalies are after Bob signing his, since then you have Helly signing his 8m contract Sorokin signing a 8m contract and Vassy at 9.5m. So it wouldn't be crazy to think Igor could sign something around an 8m contract.</div></div>
6 out of the top 10 goaltenders in GAA this season had a cap hit of $2M or less. I wouldn't ever pay more than $6M for a goaltender.

Goalies have value when they provide significantly better performance than their cap hit. Bobrovsky has been one of the better goaltenders in the NHL recently, but no one is going to give up much in a trade for him because he makes $10M per season.
Shesterkin has one more year of a reasonable cap hit. After that, he's going to cost a LOT of money. More than Hellebuyck. I wouldn't give up significant assets for one season of affordable goaltending plus the right to give out a $9M+ goaltender extension.
