Sujet: 21-22 Opening Roster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>I just can't see us signing any free-agent forwards (unless it's some high-intensity guy like Zach Hyman, who I don't think will be available) because we have so many prospects to start bringing forward. (Byfield, Turcotte, Kaliyev, Fah-geh-moh . . . at some point, we've got to start trying them out at the NHL level.)

I know that I join all true Kings fans in hoping and praying that the off-season doesn't include a trade for Jack Eichel or Mitch Marner.</div></div>

I'm right there with you when it comes to Marner and Eichel, but signing someone like Hyman won't do anything for the kings. They need scoring and someone to play with Kopitar and probably Kempe on that top line. When it comes to playing the kids I think a lot of them will play next year, but I just can't see McLellan and Blake tossing one of them on L1 just going off how patient they have been with them so far. Signing a scorer this year to a short term deal will us make the playoffs next year (hopefully) and keep the seat warm for Kaliyev/Turcotte/Byfield, who should all be ready for top 6 roles in 22-23.

Sujet: LA Kings Dream Scenario
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingsGKG</b></div><div>No bandwagon. Since 1980. I won’t debate who’s a bigger fan is. So you know, I don’t want Sekera back, but teams like tye oilers are not going to take on a bunch of salary and not give any back. How about. Muzzin/20th pick for RNH/10th pick. That allows us to go after a winger like Farabee in the draft. You can move Carter to wing and Vilardi slots in as #3 center</div></div>

That's more like it. Muzzin only has a 4 Mill cap hit, so it's actually pretty good for a number 2 defense man on Edmonton. That trade isn't bad and I like your thought of getting a good speed scoring winger in the draft but were going to run into some cap issues next summer. With Nuge's 6 Mill cap hit, it might cause some difficulties signing Kempe, Iafallo and Toffoli to longer term deals. Not to mention the Doughty situation might carry over till next July as well.

Sujet: LA Kings Roster (Possible Canes Trade)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Doughty4Norris</b></div><div>Most Likely Rob Blake will talk him down to 10-10.5 I doubt LA would move Toffoli and Pearson for a rental in Skinner with no assurance that he will sign an extension so If I were LA and I was trying to offer anything to the Canes it would be Center Michael Amadio since there would be no room in the lineup with his skill and a first round pick along with a conditional 4th if Skinner resigns. Dion Phaneuf will not be playing top pair minutes either top 4 or top 6 and for sure Rieder does not deserve 3.2 million if anything 2 million max. Oscar Fantenberg and Paul LaDue will be on the team next year also. Most likely Clifford will be waived</div></div>

Doughty will get more than 10 million I'll promise you that. The cap is going up and players are gonna want more. Amadio and a first wouldn't be enough to get Skinner. Toffoli and Pearson both have had an under performing last two seasons so I could see them getting moved especially with Toffoli needing a contract next year. They would make sure Skinner is open to negotiating a contract extension before finalizing the deal.
