CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Solid deal for the Kings. He filled in admirably when Doughty went down late last season. Was hoping we could've found a way to pry him away from LA. I think he has the makings to be a very good top 4 dman. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 LA is a team we should be watching carefully. They could be a really good team and may want to bolster their lineup at the TDL. If we have a piece(s), including picks, they could use there could be an opportunity to acquire a young RHD as they have a plethora of prospects at that position that will never all be able to make it onto the roster regularly without someone ahead of them being moved and/or injured.

BabychStache Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 HOW does Rob Blake get these guys to sign for these deals?! Thats a STEAL! Durzi is good at a valuable position. GM of the year Candidate already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 LA management continue to do some really good work, they should be in the mix for a divisional spot again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My take: California lifestyle - which means a pretty great quality of life when you've got money. Very little to no media scrutiny. Players can live 'normal' lives in their community as they're not 'celebrities' even if they are stars in the NHL - unlike Canada where your entire life is scrutinized even if you're a 4th liner. Most importantly - LA is on the rise as a team and is only going to be better in the next few years. Oh, and did I mention California lifestyle:). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK_19 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 It certainly puts some of our past RFA defenseman contracts to shame ie Hutton and Stecher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iinatcc Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 if there was ever the perfect model of retooling on the fly the LA Kings would be it. Keeping their veteran core while surrounding them will all quality young talents. Can't say they are cup contenders yet but they could be quite dangerous moving forward.

BigTramFan Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Crazy that (including Doughty on $11m) the total cap hit for the 8-man LAK defense is only $22m! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their biggest strength is down the middle IMO. Kopitar and Danault are two of the best two-way centers in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a place like Columbus is great as you can afford way more with your money. Im sure none of these guys are complaining too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's definitely places in the NHL that I wouldn't voluntary live even if I had money. Edmonton for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
