Kempe is not a top 6 player. Iafallo keeps the fans happy. Not trading him unless it's for a 1st and that wouldn't make sense until after next season.

I just put Iafallo in a trade, saying he could be traded for whatever is deemed his value. Kempe probably isn't a top 6 player, but what other options would they have? Signing a big name free agent?

Forwards might look something like this:
Iafallo Kopitar Brown
Carter Turcotte Vilardi
Kempe Anderson-Dolan Frk
Moore Lizotte Wagner

The 1st and 4th line are most likely 100% accurate. Excluding occasional line shuffling.

That's fair enough, just wasn't sure if Kings want to play Vilardi at C or W, I just assumed they'd ideally want Turcotte-Vilardi as their 1-2C punch for the next decade+.

I would love to keep Vilardi at C, but he's the only center that has played a significant amount of time on the wing. I imagine once Kopitar retires he'll be the #1 center.

I believe the lines depend on Turcottes training camp. If he has a good camp the kings are gonna have to shuffle someone to wing that should be a center. If he doesn’t then he starts in Ontario and it’s prob Kopi, Vilardi, Anderson Dolan, Lizzie. There’s also guys like Pro, Carter and rookies Thomas and Madden that are centers . Regardless some of these guys are gonna move to wing I would prefer Kopi, Vilardi, Turcotte, Anderson Dolan up the middle to start the year. Rest of the guys move to wing and we figure it out as we go. As Vilardi and Turcotte improve maybe move Kopi to right wing to finish his career out. I think Kopi could be a great 3rd or 4th line option well into his late 30’s with his all round game
