I know this board (me) has already blown up over this, but it's amazing how hockey is a team game until we need some goofy agenda to be satisfied, and then it all falls on one single player (the clear best player on their team in the words of every single Blues fan to post in the "your team's best player" thread on hfboards a week or so ago), and that one player ISN'T a bottom 2 starting goaltender in the entire league.

I seem to remember the initiative about a decade ago to do so. The officials were so bad at differentiating dives from actual infractions they abandoned it half way through the season.

Hoss Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 (edited) I do wonder if the Kings consider flipping some players to remake their roster. They’ve got a few young players who I would add. Tyler Toffoli would be great. Pearson is off to a bad start and could be a cheap change of scenery type. Muzzin and Martinez are two guys I’d have interest in, too. Edited November 4, 2018 by Hoss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can always improve the D and bottom six for the right price though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can always improve the D and bottom six for the right price though. I imagine Tyler is one they’d hold tightly too, you’re correct. It is exciting to think about the possibility of picking apart bad teams to improve down the stretch, though. I will admit this team isn’t there yet. You always have to keep an eye out for the right deal but I’m still focused exclusively on what’s here and what’s in Rochester right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 I'm not sure there's much the Kings can or should do. They aren't as old and slow as people say they are. I think they just lack depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
