Who are we kidding, cap space is merely a 'suggestion' as far as the Kings are concerned - they'll weasel out of any non-compliance issues and the NHL will do nothing about it.

They do still have to re-sign Toffoli and have little in the way of cap relief coming their way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iginla, Purcell and Scudei all off the books for next season, bingo Pearson. And they still have 10 mil to play with to sign Toffoli and whatever plugs after that. https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/kings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 This is where i'd expect Baertschi and Granlund to land around their next deal next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 ahh you may have wanted to title this: (Kings Signing) Tanner Pearson, or something. I saw the thread and thought it meant the Canucks signed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the thread and thought it meant the Canucks signed him. How could we sign him? We don't have his rights and free agency doesn't start for almost two more months. But back to the topic, we'll see how their cap space works out. It's been a few years since they had plenty of cap space, no players with clauses, etc. Now they're like the rest of the competing teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This just in... The Old Boys club has terminated Dustin Brown and Marian Gaboriks contracts due to both players smuggling in Kinder Surprise eggs after driving home from Canada. Kinder Surprise is a banned substance in the US and this was their last chance. The Kings have now free'd up close to 11 million dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono2009 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 The guys on the afternoon show on TSN 1040 said this could compare to Bo Horvat's contract. I had a good chuckle about that. My feeling is Bo clears over 5 mill. Even though I think we should be 4.5 for him. Great singing for the Kings! 2013-14 Los Angeles Kings NHL 25 3 4 7 8 2 24 4 8 12 8 2014-15 Los Angeles Kings NHL 42 12 4 16 14 14 -- -- -- -- -- 2015-16 Los Angeles Kings NHL 79 15 21 36 18 11 5 1 2 3 2 2016-17 Los Angeles Kings NHL 80 24 20 44 13 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we're doomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldoescobar Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Great signing and value for the Kings you cant argue that. I think Horvat commands more due to the fact he is currently the best player on the Canucks not to mention their next leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we're doomed. There are other things to consider as well. For example, Horvat is two years younger and has played as many games and has more points than Pearson. Horvat's best season is already better than Pearson's. Bo plays more PK minutes, lesser PP time and more ice time overall. Horvat is a center and Pearson is a winger, therefore Bo has to take faceoffs and be more responsible defensively as well. Pearson's only edge is probably his physical game. Honestly if Bo gets a long term contract for 6m, it'll be a steal, but it seems like a lot of people will cry about it anyway. Pearson's contract seems pretty standard for what he provides. If he continues to trend up, then his contract will be a bargain in the 3rd and 4th years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
