  1. The team isn't build properly. Doughty and Kopitar can't play forever– this was inevitable. When the opportunity is right, they should sell off and build around Byfield and Clarke. This team is not winning a championship. Too much money is invested in Doughty and Kopitar. They have no cap room. Average goaltending. No dominating D-Man. And they are lacking scoring and could use more toughness up front– other than that we're in good shape.

  2. I agree, throw Clark on the 1st line, skill wise he’s probably the best replacement, the coach needs to change plans, you can’t just close your eyes and pretend like it didn’t happen.

  3. Definitely sucks… and Clarke's definitely gonna have to grow up real fast but I have a feeling him and Spence will be able to handle it

  4. Anyone else get Gabe Vilardi flashbacks when Laferiere placed the puck right on the opposing players stick? I think Spence should play on the top line but i wouldn't be mad if Clarke or even Burroughs played on the top line for balance

  5. Way too much panic and doom and gloom after the injury. Doughty is good, but he ain't no Makar. Unfortunately, injuries are part of the game. They move on

  6. Im a Vegas fan but love this podcast, I wish the VGK podcast was as good as this, we have some angry ass old man who can barely get a concise sentence together 🤦‍♂️

  7. we all love drew and know what a rarity he is; but it’s not the time to hang like a hound dog; and if Drew’s absence so wounds the Kings start to a 500 or middle pack team, then once again it’s on management’s incompetency that a team’s consequences lies so heavily with a 17 year veteran. Management didn’t think to themselves the last couple years “Drew shouldn’t be 25min a night, but what the hell!” You knoWthe Oilers especially, but many competitive teams are improving their rosters while the Kings mire in Quicksand. Did you think Drew and Kopi were going to play forever? There’s a lot of young talent out there that the kings didn’t pursue just flatlined. TH

  8. It’s Clarke time …his offensive ceiling is way higher than Dewey’s and it’s time for someone else to QB the PP …loosing in the first round three years in a row means time for change. Clarke first team Spence #2 look for Turcotte to break out get well Drew

  9. What I've heard about Clarke is that he is not well developed defensively, even though he is a defenseman. He's more of an offensive defenseman, whereas Drew is idolized for his defensive skills. Maybe Eddie is right that his development will be jump-started, but it's very iffy, in my opinion. 🙁

  10. Well, Great what a wonderful way to get to the preseason and lose our #1 defenseman and the regular season hasn’t even started yet 🤦‍♂️ SMH. At least I can see that it gives the coaching staff more time to figure out how to replace him in the lineup and the salary cap relief does help a little bit in a trade. So let’s go through the depth chart on defense. Gavrikov is going to need to earn his contract money for sure. Mikey Anderson is a stud. Brandt Clarke will be fine in the 2nd pairing for now but I’m thinking the coaches will put him on the third pairing. I got an idea 💡 Blake should call Verbeek and inquire about Cam Fowler because there are rumors about him being traded due to the abundance of great young talent on the Ducks 🦆 blue line. I’ve always liked Fowler and saw him get drafted at Staples Center in 2010 which was cool. Lol crowd totally booed him. The Joel Edmundson signing is looking a little bit better at the moment.
