Hayes had 55 points last year and is an good/excellent defensive forward. For me that's good enough to take the 2nd line center role until Patrick is ready then he becomes a third line center.
Thats funny i posted that same thing last week where i attached an article with both coaches and Hextall as the GM of the team.That dynamic seems so funny to me. New coach and ex coach, telling them what to do.
Go America
Who would you be willing to sign or trade for?
The fact that this is even an article sounds like that writer is just speculating. Tradung Patrick would be dumb at this point.
Trading Patrick now while his stock is so low would be a terrible move.
What are we willing to give up to get Kopitar?
I think he still grows and becomes a solid player, needs to stay away from the head injuries.
No way you give up that much for a 31 year old player (32 when the season starts) on the decline...
If i'm the kings i do that in a second.Hes 31 and is a 10 million dollar cap hit for the next 4 years. If im going to pay someone big bucks id like to throw it at a free agent like Panarin ,Duchene or Skinner or even try an offer sheet for Marner. That way we aren't losing any of the future
Agree
