Provorov's trade value has gone up in my mind after he stuck to his principals and was not forced into a "diversity" statement that he disagrees with. Good for him. Hopefully more follow his lead.
Keep up the great work Eddie. Long time Kings fan and Puck Podcast listener.
Glad you took the reigns of Locked On LA Kings. Now if we could just do something about all those terribly annoying ads on the Locked on LA Kings podcast.
I'm assuming those are a stipulated requirement by the 'Locked On' network?
Thanks, Eddie, and I very much appreciate your work. LA Kings are playing well, and I would not want them giving up very much to get Jacob Chychrun. Lot's of other players to go after and they still have a team now that looks unified and just coming together and into its own. Maybe, going overseas and looking in that direction. Patience. Just Patience and let's see how this season goes. Let these players continue to develop and improve. Off season, as you say there will be players who retire and others who move on. Thank you and of course, GO KINGS GO!
The Kings should go all in and try to expand a Chychrun trade to include goalie Karel Vejmelka. Now is the time to trade prospect depth. We have a lot of guys who will be stuck in the AHL because there are no spots for them on the NHL roster. We’d probably have to give up either QB or Spence as well, but we’d be an instant contender for the Cup.
Don't want Chychrun. He is way to injury prone for me. I would dispute the top need is the LHD. I think the goaltending is the top need. I can't see LA going deep in the playoffs with a #1 goalie who is over 30 and only played 30 nhl games coming into this season. His stats show him to be a middle of the pack NHL goaltender (which isn't a ding on him that is amazing from where he came from) but not sure if that coupled with the stress of the NHL playoffs will be a good fact pattern for us in the playoffs (hope I'm wrong).
Kings should definitely try to get Provorov, if available for the right price. Sexual orientation should be private business and should not be part of sports. We have to hear about social issues on daily basis. Sports was meant to be an escape from all of that. Provorov didn't hurt anyone and if not for stupid media, most folks wouldn't hear anything about this incident. Good for him and for Torts having his players back. As a fan I would love to have a guy like this on the team. That one man's opinion as great Lee Hacksaw Hamilton would say.
I wish the kings would f off talking about chychrun the coyotes want to much there r other defense the kings could get for alot cheaper im sure I like shane gosthesber not sure how to spell his name haha but he plays for coyotes and he use to play for Philly just to name one but there r a few to choose from that wouldn't cost alot I just hope there not just looking at the one guy I hope there looking around GKG 👍😎
I wouldn't be giving away Byfield just yet or Spence nah that's what I mean the coyotes want way to much I hope Blake don't do that not sure about blake and Robitaille these days anyways 🤔
Don't get Matta back no God no
Let's go Cal Let's go turcott 💯
Would love to get Chychurn & Vejmelka this summer for one 1st, one 2nd, Spence, Walker, JAD, Bjornfot, and Clarke. Yotes probably want QB too. I think Blake does nothing @ trade deadline just like last year. Would love Saros in Summer if we cant't get Vejmelka who isn't as good as Saros who will cost the Kings a lot. Biggest need is a goalie, not a LHD, imho.
But to clarify, Yotes are asking for two 1st rounders plus roster player which is too much, unless they include Vejmelka too. I doubt we get Chychurn @ deadline or this Summer but I can wish, right?
Clarke, QB, Durzi and Spence are off the table – don't even go there. Given their age, skill level and potential and some players take a couple of years (Vilardi, Kempe or Tage Thompson) so it is way too early to know the ceiling on these players. In particular its crazy to even consider QB at age 20. Chychrun is good but he's no Cale Makar so trading QB or Clarke etc. at this point would be a very bad bad move. But we don't have to worry about that – the latest rumors from trusted journalist is that AZ wants 2 first rounders and a prospect. I'm sure the two 1st rounders are more of an issue for Blake then finding a prospect to round out the deal that AZ would find acceptable.
The Kings should pay the ransom for Chychrun. The Kings do not have a defensemen of his size and ability and it’s desperately needed. The current defensemen are undersized and have trouble clearing the front of the net. I’d be willing to trade Spence, Durzi, Grans or anyone not named Clarke. By adding Chychrun, the Kings will get the added toughness and grit lacking since the cup runs. I’d also like to see Vejmelka included in any trade.
Proverov just peaked my interest.
Eddie, do you sell merchandise? Love the hat👍
Turcotte, Fagemo, and Bjornfot called up. Turcotte is especially interesting. The bad news is Vilardi is out and “day to day”. Grundstrom was also injured in practice and won’t accompany the team on the 6 game road trip
I think it’s time for the NHL to stop prioritizing 1st Overall Picks to Canada & the East for a while because of it shows how big of a gap the Eastern Conference & Western Conference is competitive wise. As of right now, LA is all over the place with their roster. I was hoping they’d go for one of Bedard, Michkov or Fantilli entering the yr to give Byfield & Clarke that last piece of the trio for the long haul let alone would’ve been huge to have one of those players on an ELC to use it to their advantage on a bottom 6 role while also seeing what’s out there on the market to give Kopitar & Dewy deep runs for Cups. Just my take. I feel like they should get in the lottery and hope for the miracle cause the defense and goalie situation isn’t look all too pretty at the moment.
