and I can't remember when the last time the Kings had a true agitator who could contribute.

"contribute" being a relative term

I just want us to be hard to play against and Perry I think was 3rd in playoff goals so I'm not worried about his drop-off. I'm just sick of seeing Fiala and Kempe in scrums and Kuemper getting f***ed with the whole Edmonton series and not a single King did anything.![]()

I thought the exact same thing when I saw the news.If true, we are going to the Finals next year!
We are also losing in the Finals next year.
My guess is to outbid the Oilers.Why 2x what he’s made the last 5 years?
Sellers market?Why 2x what he’s made the last 5 years?
Carter said he and Perry were friends.I think he's good friends with Dewey.
Getting involved in scrums against the Oilers, we all know a penalty would be levied against the Kings and then we know what happens.I just want us to be hard to play against and Perry I think was 3rd in playoff goals so I'm not worried about his drop-off.

I was just watching that video…You guys will like him better when he squirts water into Draisaitl's glove.

I feel bad now for our current players. Our management sucks and some of our players should leave to a contender. This is just utterly disgusting. LA sports have gone to #*%&^*W)!!!!
Hockey, like any job, takes passion. If that love fades, showing up every day becomes a grind—and it’ll show in your performance. These players put in the work to get to the top, and they should be thankful for the opportunity to play professionally. But staying there takes just as much drive.Requesting a trade isn't anything out of the ordinary, and I've yet to see anyone do it except maybe Spence, and his wish was granted.
Don't take pity on players. They're paid millions to do something they love to do and they can always, anytime either request a trade, not sign with a certain team or even retire for all I care. They can also come play in Europe for 10-20% of what they get in the NHL.

Requesting a trade isn't some dramatic betrayal—it’s part of the business. Sometimes a change of scenery is what a player needs to keep that spark alive. Spence did it, and hopefully for him it works out. It’s not about pity—it’s about recognizing that pro athletes are human too. Sure, they’re paid well, but money doesn’t fix burnout or frustration. If it did, nobody would ever ask out.
At the end of the day, it’s still a job, and loving what you do matters—no matter the paycheck.
