Short term incentive to rekindle that powerplay chemistry, and at the worst he helps the tank and we dump him in the offseason. Is rather Weber and try to rekindle what him and hamhuis were able to do last year. 7 goals in his final 20. No point in trying to re live something that happened 5 years ago. Ehrhoff at this point is garbage. He just lost a roster spot to luke schenn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I am betting he gets claimed. Edmonton most likely. But I could see a playoff hopeful like Pit take him rather than trade assets for a rental. I think he would be a good addition to our blue line for the rest of the year but would rather go with young guys and tank for a top 3 pick. If there was ever a time to pull the plug on this season and just play the young guys and get them experience it is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And probably a much better dman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryanstorm Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I'm skeptical about him now. Looking at where half our 2011 roster is now most have hung up the boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I think as well. LA will trade for a Dman Hamhuis maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they go out any make any big trades after gambling on Sekera last year and it costing them a 1st and prospect, with nothing to show for it. Maybe something minor, but I don’t see them over paying for another UFA this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kings have nothing of interest to me. No 1st, 3rd, 6th or 7th, in 2016. The only prospect that I might consider is Kempe but that doesn’t fill any real needs for our team since we already have a decent list of our own young LW.

smokes Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Since Sutter and Edler are out, what try to get better and get a higher draft pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 6 hours ago, Apple Juice said: I read somewhere a few weeks ago that Ehrhoff has finally found his game again under the Kings system and that he was going to start being a more effective defender for the Kings. I guess not. Honestly, looking at his game logs, it seems his usage has been only decreasing since the start of the season. He'll have the odd game where he plays more, but it hasn't helped his points totals. 2 points in his last 17 games (12 of those in a row without any points) and most of his ice time in the 12-15 minutes a game range. Unless we're desperate for someone on the right side (and I don't think we are), we let him pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kempe could easily be packaged for something better in the future. If they're willing to offer him we take it and run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SedinMadness Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 we should go for him. edler is out and so is sutter. we do have the cap room now. I was always a fan! he would help our power play big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 If it's a choice between claiming Ehrhoff or recalling Weber I think the choice is pretty clear. At the very least he provides a point shot on the powerplay that isn't blasted at the opposing teams shinpads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Vancouver is wanting to leave room for more youth or a potential return on a trade, then it may be in their best interest to bring Weber up instead of add another contract.

I was just thinking that. It's gotta be a contract thing. I mean it was reported they were looking at signing Tryamkin. Not to mention the possibility of signing Rodin and Demko this season.

oldnews Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 The Ehrhoff frenzy on these boards in the summer was pretty comical. And apparently some people still harbour the illusions. He's been getting 59.6% offensive zone starts - 2nd highest on LA - against the weakest quaility of competition of anyone on their blueline. He's been getting nearly 2 minutes a night on their powerplay. 15+ highly sheltered minutes a night - 2 goals, 9 assists and a team worst -10 in the context of playing easy ozone minutes. Same story as in Pittsburgh. He's done. He's not an NHL defenseman anymore. Why would anyone be surprised to see him waived? The Kings actually have intentions of winning.

Yup, Weber and Friesen. They won't help for tonight but will for the following games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
