Yep I agree on both counts. Vilardi did look pretty good at center during the shifts we got at the position during the playoffs though so it may be an option. The thought with Byfield is that he grows into being a solid 3rd line center by the time in which the playoffs begin if he starts the season in the role.

I agree with you though that neither are necessary a home run at center currently.

it is true that in the playoffs anyway Vilardi did look alright after all back at Center. Would be a real weird twist of fate if after all this he played that position full time, although if he did and keeps growing as he did last year then there’s your Kopi replacement regardless of Byfield.
 
KOPI! PEVS! said:
Fiala was great until.. a few weeks before his injury. I saw him get hurt in a game those weeks before, I don't think it was noticed/talked about much. He was my favorite player early season and Kempe finished it out for me I think, besides Copley (been a goalie fan since Potvin/when I started watching). But Fiala is... something the Kings haven't had in a long time. Take the PIM - whatever - but stay healthy.

BTW - Kopi is a monster. 5 years at least left I think of him performing at this level.

Yeah Fiala is something special; he reminds me of Palffy when he joined the Kings and we all know how fortunate we were to have had Palffy. Also I agree with you on Kopi, he's had a very consistent career and projects to still have a few more top end years in him. Hopefully we can sign him at a more reasonable rate once his contract expires and see him continue to contribute.
 
My guess is Vilardi and his camp are ready to play hardball on his next contract. If that’s the case then I can see why Blake would dangle him for Dubois. Add in Iafallo and another smaller piece and you’ve got a good match.

The question is how much is Blake willing to pay Dubois?

Anything under 8X$8.5M is probably worth it.
 
Say no to Dupoop he will cost us too much and is a diva.... But Blake has close ties to his family
 
This makes no sense on a team where we need D and goalies. EDM has better D and goaltending than the Kings and Korpisalo and the best offense in the history of hockey and it ain't gettin them anywhere.
 
From SportsNet, Hellebuyck on Dubois:

“He’s a great guy. He would be in charge of all our fun activities. He's the guy that knows what's going on and knows how to bring a team together,”

Doesn’t sound like a diva or locker room cancer to me…
 
From hockeybuzz:
Pierre Luc Dubois may be heading to LA…any minute now. According to Chris Johnson, the AAV in the sign and trade will be 8.5 M. It appears Montreal gave up on this pursuit and moved the draft picks that would have been in the deal to Colorado…

I don't think anyone caught it because nobody goes to a unknown hockey rumor site like that.

<cough cough> this "unknown hockey rumor site" wasn't too far off the mark...... ;)

Not that I'm usually on sites like these... Google News suggestion.
