Kopi will be off the books in a year, who knows with Dewey. IF you can get a generational player, you find a way to do it. If EDM can carry McD and Drai and their contracts, the Kings can surely afford McD. Do I think it will happen, no.
Greentree is the one forward prospect in the organization you don’t trade. One of the three young goalies? Sure. Add Portillo or George to a package that includes roster players, not the Kings best offensive prospect. A stud d’man doesn’t come cheap. But let Greentree show his value at the NHL level before flushing him away at far less that he may be worth.
Greentree is a prospect until he’s not. Scoring ability in Junior does not always translate to the NHL.
No. I actually heard her at Taco Bell say "I f***ing LOVE Taco Bell!!!" She also told Connor she wants one in the house and Devante stole her idea.
100%. Prospects are just prospects. Greentree is only untouchable to Kings fans because the cupboard is so bare. He's a very solid prospect but not a top-25 guy,
Last September, Greentree showed he had the ability to make a difference on a scoring challenged NHL team. I fully expect him to be a keeper this year. And at 6’ 3” and 215 lbs he is already one of your beloved big strapping bodies. His +55 for the Spitfires shows he plays on both sides of the puck. I agree you only deal him on a trade for a #1 defenseman.
Hopefully new Gm will have more philosophy and will do a complete interview with Hiller and let him know 90% defense and 10% offensive style is no longer our style. He was outcoached by bv the coach Holland hired, thought that was interesting and that he drafted Broberg a mobile left handed defenseman, when the last time the Kings did that
He’s squarely in the Top 30 after this season.
I don't know. Yeah, but Conner digs Del Taco.
The Kevin Fiala trade seems like a likely template for a deal where the Kings pick up a ~25 year old D man coming off a break out season who either recently signed a big extension or is ready for his big extension and maybe his current team isn’t completely sold on that type of investment. Or maybe they paid him early and can see a better fit elsewhere.
Neither was Luc. Not that I'm insinuating he will be Luc type player but there is definitely a solid player there.
If the Kings sign McDavid and Kemp stays, Kempe is going to score 50 goals. Kuz-McDavid-Kempe
Yeah I thought about that after I posted. QB would have to be part of a deal.
Trading Greentree and one of the goalies is exactly what I don’t want to see happen this summer.
I don’t think McDavid reaching UFA is impossible at all. I actually think a trade is much more impossible.
I think it’s very likely a mistake to trade Greentree unless you’re getting a 1st line/1st pair guy under the age of 30 in return. The organization is in win now mode and desperate to get past the 1st round. Desperation is exactly what leads to stupid short-sighted deals. I expect the next GM to fully lean into the stupidity.
