Thread: Draisaitl sign and trade

That top line would be pretty crazy.

However, as an unbiased fan If Drai comes with an extension I'd want Jack Hughes or Hischer. Drai is a legit #1 and I think he wants to move to a team that sees that.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Black61</b></div><div>Hes making 8.5 million played a good chunk of the season with fiala and got good pp time. Sometimes there isnt a excuse</div></div>

Fiala has been paired up with PLD for a little over 215 minutes, under 20% of his total ice time this season during which Fiala potted 8 goals. The issue was that line pairing was incredibly defensively problematic as that same duo allowed 10 goals. Fiala gels much better with Danault, but PLDs game has also substantially improved. PLD definitely had issues for the start of the season, but since the coaching change he looks a lot closer to the 65 point center the Kings acquired and the better defensive prowess of those players has brought them back together recently as a line. The 2nd unit in general has been poor for LA, I can't necessarily say it is PLD alone there, as he is the highest goal scorer on the second unit.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caufield</b></div><div>Harris is a LD</div></div>

Still doesn't address the shutdown part, Clarke needs a vet to grow his game with. I think someone like TJ Brodie would be an upgrade over Englund or Moverare who both play a traditional shutdown role.

Thread: Slight Retool

Yeah, Jarry has not played well enough at his cap hit to justify much value going back. The Kings have got better goaltending collectively from Talbot and Rittich for a fraction of what Jarry costs.

Kings pass they have Spence and Clarke, they will be looking to bolster 3LD with a shutdown guy if Roy doesn’t reup.

There is several posts every week and it’s never Kings fans. It’s literally habs fans low balling unrealistic trades that would get Blake fired and responses are also from Habs fans who use it as a platform to trash PLD.

There is another one on ACGM within the last 24 hours.

These PLD to Montreal for cap dump proposals won’t end will they?

If the move you are proposing likely gets the Kings GM fired it’s not really in the realm of possibility is it?

He has played most of his time with Laffy who up until this year had little to no professional experience. His line mates haven’t exactly set him up for success he is the best goal scorer on the second pp unit and has shown a huge uptick when taking over for Kopitar or Danault. He’ll be fine.

Thread: Only If Marky Waives

Markstrom is 34, has a $6M cap hit, and can't break above a .905 AV% averaged over the last two years.

The Kings were able to pick up better statistical goaltending bargain hunting for vets at a 1/3 of his cap hit combined (Talbot + Rittich = #$1.875M).

If the Kings are giving up high picks they want an Ullmark type of player coming back, otherwise they will go back to the vet well and wait for Portillo and Ingham who have looked very good.

Thread: Not gonna happen but

For as much as Habs fans indicate how much they don't want PLD they sure do propose a lot of trades on here for him. I never see LA proposing trades with him because we understand we just have to wait for him to improve.

How does Blake keep his job if he sells PLD at a loss? He is on thin ice, he signed and had to trade a goaltender at a loss, if he does the same thing for PLD after the first year of a multi year deal he is toast. His chance of staying on as GM hinges on PLD doing something in the playoffs.

If you guys really need to have a weekly thread to crap on a player who isn't even on your team there are plenty of other places.

Forum: Armchair-GMApr. 9 at 3:25 p.m.

Thread: Seriously now

PLD has improved and selling him at a loss is a nail in the coffin for Blake's tenure with LA. Besides, PLD was brought into help LA win a playoff series, if they are unsuccessful this season then a trade makes sense, but even then no way teams will buy high on PLD.

Thread: 3rd Line Scoring Threat

LA wouldn't pick Jarry off waivers.

They have found better goaltending at a fraction of the coast and their goalie coach is the same one who was fired because he wasn't getting the best out of Jarry.

Thread: Opening Night

LA passes, Doughty, Spence, and Clarke will provide enough offense, they need a shutdown guy to replace Roy.

Forum: Armchair-GMApr. 8 at 5:26 p.m.

Thread: back on my 5hi7

Matt Roy is going to demand too much which will make Spence unmovable, the Kings also will likely need to move on from Lizotte who has earned a pay raise which opens a role for Turcotte to be a favorite over Akil Thomas as 4C.

If the Kings reup Roy, Spence will be available, if Roy moves on, almost impossible they move him, he's outplayed Clarke this season and is the biggest favorite to move into the top-4 with his play on the power play this season.

Holy crap I didn't even see that, lol. Dubas and Blake have traded together so much, no way is this even in the realm of possibility.

Thread: pens

Every week there is a Penguins fan who moves Jarry to LA.

- Jarry is performing worse at three times the cap hit of LAs two current goaltenders (Talbot and Rittich, who could both be signed for cheaper than Jarry)
- Jarry's poor performance in 2021 led to the firing of the Penguins goalie coach Mike Buckley, who is currently the Kings goalie coach, unlikely the two want to reunite and Buckley is thriving in LA
- LA will be prioritizing cap space for Byfield and Roy (or a Roy replacement), there are plenty of cheaper UFA options over Jarry, which makes any price for him too much.
- Moore is LAs leading goal scorer and just put up 30 goals and is signed to a budget contract

So much here just makes no sense for LA.

Thread: Good signings

LA would like to match or beat the Roy, Brodie, and Samsanov values, which tells me you might have a fight there.

Thread: whats for next year

Every week Jarry to LA. Jarry is being paid three times what LAs current tandem is being paid, that tandem is out playing Jarry.

Also, the Kings goalie coach was fired from the pens for his development of Jarry. Aside from the overpayment, it's probably the worst match for a trade.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>Like it or not, DuBois is overpaid by about $2M so the first is just taking care of that issue. Another year like this and his value is going to take worse than it is.

I don’t see retention and the first

I don’t see Boston trying to acquire both Lindholm and Dubois. Personally, I prefer Lindholm</div></div>

Exactly, Boston needs to take a stab at Lindholm before trying for PLD, once the free agency opens PLD can't be traded. These conversations don't really go anywhere. PLD is stuck in LA, and he's improving, so it's more and more likely he stays put and LA trys to regain value.

Thread: BRUINS 2024

Please I beg you Capfriendly, stop posting PLD trades.

Blake can't trade PLD at a loss or he loses his job.

A fair PLD trade (considering what LA paid) would be laughed out of any of these threads.

He has a NMC in July, unless Blake is moved, there is like zero chance. There are plenty of places to crap on PLD, but do we have to do this 3-4 times a week?

Thread: Awful Contracts

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Just_A_Guess</b></div><div>This part is rather irrelevant to this trade proposal. The picks are 2024 indicating the trade takes place prior to round 1 of the 2024 draft being completed, meaning he still wouldn't have his NMC enacted.</div></div>

I just don't realistically see Blake taking another huge loss and expecting to keep his job by July 1st. PLD was brought in to help LA get out of the first round, his assessment starts at game 83.

If Blake turned Vilardi, Iafallo, Kupari, Pinelli, 1st round pick, 2nd round pick into Kent Johnson and KK he deserves to get fired on the spot. I've been patient with Blake, but if he did anything like this, it goes against what he has been doing, trying to get Kopitar and Doughty a competitive cup contender while they are both still here.

Thread: How id role for playoffs

Kaliyev is likely a healthy scratch, Englund won't be on the top pair, Lizotte over Lewis at 4C, Grundstrom should be back, there will be the potential the Kings roll 11-7 with Moverare.

Thread: Trading problems - Habs fan perspective

I think it makes sense, but this move would get Blake fired. Most fair PLD trades would get him fired, I think LA is going to eat the contract and hope he continues to improve.

Either that or they rapidly need to fire Blake and trade PLD before July 1st, and the Kings will still need their future 2C, which isn't KK.

Forum: Trade Machine ProposalsApr. 5 at 10:53 a.m.

Thread: Awful Contracts

There is zero chance CBJ wants PLD back.

PLD is staying in LA, because if he doesn't improve or is traded at any type of loss GM Rob Blake is out of a job. Also, PLD has a NMC kicking in July 1st.
