<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Okay, so what does Gavrikov cost?</div></div>

A 1st and 3rd round pick. Kings will throw in a backup goaltender.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JuanDamienNebraska</b></div><div>There are better ways to state that Smith is not a fit for LAK without alluding that he has negative value, when he in fact does not. There is no scenario where PIT would send a pick with Smith to move him, because he does not have negative value. Players with negative value require a pick with them. There wouldn’t be a realistic scenario where LAK would trade for Smith and there wouldn’t be a realistic scenario where PIT would pay to move Smith. Pretty simple. There is no point in even mentioning that Smith would have a pick going with him for the sake of drama. It perpetuates crap narratives about player’s value that aren’t true.</div></div>

Sure.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JuanDamienNebraska</b></div><div>Alluding that PIT would need to pay to move him in any capacity is saying that he has negative value.

You can put all the words in my mouth that you want, but I never implied that. Had I said something like "Add a 1st round pick and the Kings would consider it," then you could make that argument.

My point was, and is, that no amount of compensation could entice the Kings to take Smith's contract because their problem is cap space. Adding Smith would cost them any chance at re-signing Matt Roy and that's worth more than any draft pick.

I certainly agree that he is not a fit for LAK and their situation, but even mentioning that he will cost a pick to move is what is wrong with this website. Simply stating that LAK are not the right team for him would suffice, and wouldn’t perpetuate the already too frequent spewing of dramatic takes that have no truth to them on this website.</div></div>

I didn't say that he was negative value. I said that the Kings can't afford his contract, even if you offered to pay them to take him.

The Kings do not want, nor can they afford Reilly Smith, even at 50% retention. Change the draft pick going in the other direction and still no.

Sujet: Preparing For The Draft

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>edeangel84</b></div><div>That’s because Talbot had an unusually good year by his standards but Copely is no where to be seen now. Rittich is a good backup and Portillo has no experience. You can work him in gradually but to throw him in 30 plus games in a tandem would be silly. I wouldn’t want the Pens to give Joel Blomqvist 30 games next year. I’d be happy with 10-15.</div></div>

The Kings play a system that allows average goaltenders to excel. They don't need to invest heavily in goaltending. Portillo was excellent in the AHL this season and will be a more than capable backup. They'll use him for ~25 games next season, ~41 games the following season, and then (assuming he does well), he'll take over the starting job. In the meantime they'll continue to bring on inexpensive "average" goaltenders on one-year deals.

Copley suffered a season-ending injury back in December. That's why he's nowhere to be seen.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>edeangel84</b></div><div>I agree with you on why you’d not want Jarry but that’s the goaltending combo you’d want for a full NHL season?</div></div>

That's what everyone said prior to this season and the Kings goaltending ended up near the tops of the league.

Yes, I'm perfectly content to run with that goaltending tandem.

Sujet: Preparing For The Draft

The Kings can't afford another 7-figure bottom six forward. Smith at $2.5M is still ~$1.65M too expensive.

No thanks on Jarry. I'd rather run with Rittich and Portillo next season.

Sujet: A quiet offseason

The Kings have no use for Jordan Harris.

In order for a left-handed defenseman to make the Kings, they need to either be better than Anderson and/or Gavrikov, or bigger and meaner than Englund. Harris is neither.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Giggz_02</b></div><div>Won’t go far in the yoffs with that pair</div></div>

Not sure why not. Talbot/Rittich have outperformed Samsonov/Woll this season. A lot of Kings fans are advocating for starting Rittich over Talbot against the Oilers.

Forum: Armchair-GMven. à 19 h 7

Sujet: 2024 starting lineup

Neither Kaliyev nor Turcotte deserve that much money. Spence deserves significantly more.

After Rittich's performance this season, there's no way he'd agree to that contract. If he did accept it for some reason, there's absolutely no way he doesn't get claimed off waivers.

I'd rather run with Rittich/Portillo than Samsonov/Nedeljkovic.

Sujet: Youth Movement

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tryger</b></div><div>I think we were gifted Byfield somewhat slumping to the end of the season in regards to his contract, but Gavrikov's game has made me incredibly worried about moving forward without Roy. If Roy walks we will need to get not only a shutdown defenseman, but better defensive forwards to offset his loss.

If Arvidsson returns under such a contract, I am totally ok with most of the Kings forward group, and Arvy does seem happy here, but he is also 31. Trying to be an unbiased fan, he should be chasing his 3-4 year most guaranteed money contract with his injury history. But if he gifts us that type of contract, I would be over the moon.</div></div>

After missing all but a handful of games this season, why would a team be willing give Arvidsson a 3-4 year contract at the AAV he wants?

He would be better served signing the one-year deal as a "show me" deal, collecting $4M+ in games played bonuses, then extending the following summer to a 2-3 year deal having proven that he's healthy enough to play that long.

Sujet: Youth Movement

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tryger</b></div><div>The Kings need someone under $3M to help fill Arvidsson's departure. Smith is one year removed from a 26-goal season on a pacific division rival and is defensively responsible. He could play an Iafallo role on the top line allowing Byfield and Fiala to wing PLD.

The Kings have already been rumored to be circling around this player.</div></div>

They can't afford it.

Also, Arvidsson hasn't left yet. Because he missed so much of this season with injuries, Arvidsson is eligible for the Connor Brown contract with games played bonuses. This allows them to defer all but the league minimum salary to 2025-26 when the cap will be $92.1M.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>emoprettyboy</b></div><div>considering Kaliyah was one of Staios’ guys in Hamilton, I would be shocked if Ottawa tried to jump on that. maybe like a 3rd and a B-ish prospect for Kaliyev?</div></div>

Could be. Like I said, I don't think Kaliyev will be moved in a trade like that. I suspect he'll get moved in a package for something that will help the Kings immediately.

Sujet: 2024-25 Opening Night Roster

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>emoprettyboy</b></div><div>how much would either of Kaliyev or Spence cost, do you suppose? because tbh I could easily see Ottawa being in on either or both of those guys</div></div>

Hard to say, because I don't know that the Kings would be looking to move either guy for just futures. They'd likely be looking to make a package trade.

If the Kings were to move them, I'd say that Kaliyev would probably cost a late 2nd or prospect equivalent. Spence would probably cost two 2nds.

Sujet: Buffalo Mercenaries

There will be room for Turcotte because the Kings can't afford to re-sign Blake Lizotte.

Turcotte has been good when he's been healthy. WIth the cap crunch season, they're going to have a lot of room for skilled and inexpensive younger players. I expect Turcotte, Akil Thomas, Alex Laferriere, and Samuel ****emo all to have spots in the Kings bottom six next season. Arvidsson, Kaliyev, Lizotte, and Grundstrom all likely won't be back. Trevor Lewis could potentially come back on another league minimum deal, but I expect him to sign in Utah.
