I will go to at least 5 bad brains games if we get toffoli
Rob Blake should bring back Tyler Toffoli and Jeff Carter and Alec Martinez….let’s bring the band back together!
I think vegas have made a couple of good moves tbh
No
Rob Blake isn’t going to do anything sadly, I’m very confident this season we aren’t going to get anyone.
Not a fan of Toffolli. Terrible in the neutral zone. Can't give up a first rounder to rent Toffolli. No way.
I hope the PLD to Boston rumors are true…
Go Kings Go 🤴 just beat Senators in OT, awesome game, Talbot what a save! QB for next Captain!
Blake has to make a move he is on the Hot Seat with ownership extending TM and the blowing him out Blake’s time is now and he knows it …expect the Kings to make a splash tomorrow Kings will probably have to take another trade partner getting involved to shed cap space and expect Blake to blow our first round pick in a deal
This is a TOUGH situation for Blakey. However, I'm starting to see where youre coming from. late 1st round picks arent that crucial, but we are without a 2nd and a 3rd, i believe. I can see a variety of trades here.
An interesting one could look like:
OTT Trade: Jakob Chychrun
LAK Trade: Matt Roy & 2025 fifth rd pick
The kings could then flip
LAK Trade: Englund, Kaliyev, & first rd pick
NJD Trade: Tyler Toffoli, third rd pick
Theres obviously some issues here as Roy is a RHD and Chychrun is a LHD, but spence and clarke would get significant playing time with a skilled veteran on the left side. However, OTT may be hesisitant on whether Roy signs long term (they would have the cap space to afford him however).
As for the NJD, I think Kaliyev and a first is good enough for an aging toffoli with no term (despite the goals). Kaliyev has some history with Jack hughes and needs a change of scenery, plus NJ would have multiple picks in the first round, so losing a 3rd wouldnt hurt them.
Thoughts?
Totally disagree with trading Roy. How many seasons has the team looked to acquire that one rental player at the deadline to help them compete in the playoffs? Matt Roy is that guy, and we already have him. This team is not that far out of contention, and could absolutely be a dark horse in the post season. I don’t see many Western Conference teams that are THAT much better than us, other than EDM, who we can upset in the first round and eliminate them anyway. Sorry Eddie- we need to keep Roy to do damage in the playoffs and that’s important for the state of the franchise going forward. GKG!
Agreed Don't trade Roy
No trades we are fine.
This didnt age well
The reason why not to trade a first round pick is because years ago the Kings gave a first round pick to Boston for a backup goalie. The pick ended up being Ray Bourque. Sure, this doesn't happen very often. Oh, but when it does…
Welp Tofi is off the Winni …. I think Ownership has tied Blakes hands till the end of the season until Blakes and Luc are canned at the end of the season>>>
The problem with trading Matt Roy is you almost always get someone else that will be an UFA after this season. So, you end up in the same situation, potentially losing whoever you got for nothing.
We need Goaltending and a stay at home strong defenseman
It was hard to watch Kings sit on sidelines at the trade deadline while all the other teams in the Pacific playoff race improved themselves quite a bit ! The PLD signing left Blake w/ literally no options. I have lost confidence in Blake and am glad he didn’t do anything crazy or stupid.
If we have all our injured players back in the lineup I’m happy to see what we can do with this roster for rest of season & playoffs.
Ullmark 86'd a move to the Kings,he doesn't want to move out West.
Kings will do nothing at the deadline… Knights are cheating the cap and the oilers got better. Another first round 4-5 game exit.
We don’t need anyone!!! We have a badass team! Stfu
