Sujet: Compliance Buyout Roster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sagecoll</b></div><div>1) Not really....if you can't comprehend the value of having 5 mil in cap space ask Toronto - 6 mil in cap space was worth a 1st rounder to them lol. Imagine being Anaheim in a rebuild and saying "nah we'd rather hold on to David Backes than get a 1st rounder from a team bumping up against the cap ceiling,"

2) I think a rebuilding team like LA is much more worried about being able to sign guys like Villardi, Kupari, Kaliyev, Fagemo, Turcotte, and Bjornfoot to long term deals 3-4 seasons from now than they are worried about who is going to be on their defense next year when 5/6 of this year's defense was rookies and AHL players anyway. Doughty's contract is untradeable today, I can't really imagine tomorrow...this compliance buyout is a gift from above and I think a smart front office like LA won't blink at the opportunity.</div></div>

No way Doughty gets bought out! He’s still a top D. Anyone that says he’s not doesn’t watch many kings games. By the time the kings need to resign Vilardi, Kaliyev, Turcotte etc etc to big deals Brown, Carter, Quick, and Prob Kopi will all be off the books by the time money is an issue. Kings could get 3 or 4 more good years easy out of Doughty and buy him out Later and it wouldn’t cost them but like 3.5m against the cap. Cap won’t be an issue in LA for quite some time. Blake has even stated many times that they are building the kids around Doughty and Kopitar

Sujet: welcoming input on a new trade idea
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wqrrior</b></div><div>I feel like Carter needs to go, and if you can get a top 4 defenseman out of it, then it's a steal. Matheson truly is a top 4 defenseman, just needs a restart. He will do more immediately than Carter. I can replace Mac with a 4th or mid round pick.

I don't think kings fans understand that if Iafallo is not signed, you are losing him for nothing. He could be the best guy in the world but not return to the team. What would you rather, 20 more games of the guy or a potential long term asset?</div></div>

Don’t think Iafallo is gonna walk but I do agree if the kings knew he was and you could get a first absolutely. Don’t think he’s gonna be hard to sign though. Don’t think anyone is gonna want Carter, age and contract. Don’t think he’s been as bad as everyone has said. Like I’ve said on other posts he was right with Toffoli for goals. Only issue I see is a few guys like Grundstrom and luff would have to clear waivers so my only concern would be losing young guys to keep carter

Sujet: Looking ahead
I could see the kings in the playoffs next year. Assuming Peterson and Quick play well, I think our D and system looked great the second half of the season, a few prospects take a step forward but I think Vilardi could be the key to this teams future. There is just something special about that kid. Pucks find him, he’s got amazing hands, can finish etc, if he can keep his back issues at bay, get in top shape, and just slightly improve his skating he could end up being our main guy. He basically didn’t play for 2 years and couldn’t train, comes back in what like November after training for a month, plays a handful of ahl games looks dominant then moves up to kings and shows quite a few flashes of brilliance. If he can do that off the couch Makes me wonder what he could be with a solid couple of years under his belt
