He needs at least 1 year of coasting and excuses, then I say 25 goals max the following.
PLD for Kuemper
- Thread starter VF
- Start date

I was in the pool!!
Held on to it so far. They now have two holes to fill in the top six.

Blake freed up the PLD money to bring back Toffoli.

I'll make that bet with you as well! The guy has NEVER scored 30 goals. I'm already getting one free lunch this summer from a buddy who swore PLD would get 30 with the Kings last summer.

3rd Line Winger
Now the Kings need a 3rd (or 2nd) line center? Is there talk of QB moving to center now? I guess it'll remain to be seen what happens this offseason with signings/call ups.
I'd like to see that move and have the likes of Turcotte and Thomas in the bottom 6 for starters.

Yes, Blake mentioned Byfield playing his natural position.
Hows this for a mind bending stat
Current active goalies who won the cup as a starter
Quick (38 years old)
Hill (28)
Kuemper (34)
Vasilevsky (29)
Binnington (30)
Murray (30)* Not sure if he's really active
Fleury (39) until his retirement is official
And thats it....The rest are gone or retired
The list will grow this year to include Bob or Skinner.
Its a pretty select group.

Some of us never stopped.The best part about PLD being gone is that we can now all go back to blaming Mitchrock for everything.

Ha! I wouldn’t be surprised by 30 but I sure as hell don’t expect it. The guy is an unrepentant bum until he decides he’s sick of being a punchline. His priorities in life do not involve hockey anywhere near the top.
Now a Darcy Kuemper performance based bet that could be interesting…

I was gonna say Anthony Rendon. Only thing different is Dubois actually shows up for work.

Byfield will move to Center and Fiala will play the majority of his 5v5 minutes next to him. The question becomes who plays next to Kopi/Kempe, Byfield/Fiala, Danault/Moore

Rendon is always hurt and has won a title. Was thinking more of the laissez faire attitude

Still gotta fill the 4th line with no Lizzo, maybe no Lewis or Grundstrom. I think there will be 2 FA wingers signed. Turc or Thomas will slot in on one of the top 3 lines.

A few thoughts that I will add to this.
#1) In a preseason interview PLD was asked "what was it about LA", or what do you like about LA. His answer, the weather, the beach life. Nothing about the team, the org. That was a bit of a red flag answer to me.
#2) Mid season there was an article that stated that Hellebuyck and Schiefele said they decided to sign with the Jets becuase of player was no longer on the team.
#3) Based on #2, I would not be surprised if some of the Kings veteran players offered up their opinion on the PLD situation.
#4) The 3 morons in the front office are to blame for this. The PLD we saw on the Kings was the same PLD that many fans from other teams told us we were getting.
I am just glad the PLD version of the LA Kings is over with. it
