If Buster becomes Dunno 2.0, which is what he's looking like, that is one hell of a blown opportunity to fix the franchise.

The scoring issue needs to be addressed, who goes?

 

[Kings4OT]

Unless the Kings get another Fiala type, they will pretty much need to score off the rush. Not really sure who could go without the Kings needing to add to take em.

TOTM, Lewis, Clarke, Burroughs could all disappear.

 

[Kings4OT]

Pick up Saad off waivers, because why not

TOTM is my pick but honestly, how much value does he have? That price point, no production, hello 4th round pick tops. Doesn't help LA at all.

Lewis is worthless, Burroughs maybe a 3rd, Clarke isn't going anywhere although I'd trade him in a heartbeat. JMFJ Light but even then he isn't anything special. With Johnson you could see the talent but eventually he had no brains, with Clarke he's neither. Another blown top pick.

Would be a Blake move. He is awesome...if it were 2012.

Kinda the point, where do the Kings have any real value in the lineup? Those I listed aee addition by subtraction lol.

Fuck that, if I can only keep 1 King right now its Cantplay. I actually like Marner a lot, he is skilled and very high hockey iq. But he needs to be with some big dudes like Jeanott come playoff hockey or he is a mouse. Leafs fans will say im lying, but I dont do that deal straight across.

Marner is a great player from October to April. But that could be said pretty much for the Core Four of TO, they wilt when the playoffs roll around. I think this will be Tavares' last season in TO too with the hand off of the C and all.

And I agree, I don't do that trade straight up. Sure Marner may be a points beast but Kempe is built for PO hockey. Exactly the types of players LA needs not to mention develop, Kempe is easily the Kings' best all around player and it's been nice to see him turn into an All Star. Few and far between for Kings prospects.
