They have no chance to make the playoffs this year or next anyways, and nobody will trade for him. LA just needs to suck it up. No point for them to trade for LE, it just means they suck for year 3 too. Which they probably will regardless. I like having the Kings last place. So Doughty available at the trade deadline?

Per LeBrun Rob Blake has explained their plan to both Doughty and Kopitar and both are fully on board as they rebuild and try to get younger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerrDrFunk Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share Posted December 13, 2019 From what I understand, the Kings are still on the hook for Kovalchuk’s cap, they just won’t have to pay him his salary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rekker Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 He's a shadow of his former self and was just a stupid signing by the Kings. That said, if he wanted to sign here to play with Petey for cheap to finish the year? Why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Kovy signed thru next year. Plus has NMC. He's not willing to waive his NMC according to reports couple weeks ago. They likely buy him out in summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll buy him out in summer he takes almost 3 mill in buyout and go back to play in St Petersburg next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) Imagine having enough money in the bank to walk away from an extra $4.25 million dollars. I'm in the wrong line of work. Cap friendly has him at $67.9 mill earnings over his career. Edited December 16, 2019 by gurn capfreindly info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can sign with a team this season, then Baertschi should take this same route, but he has less money banked compared to Kovy, so he's taking a loss in earnings to try and prove he's NHL worthy. If the money is important, then his camp should keep quiet and get paid and possibly bought out in the summer to revive his career at that point.

And I guess who knows how this year goes, if Pearson goes down Baer might be back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
