Bro its called a rebuild. Every team in a rebuild wants as many top picks as possible. I'll chalk it up to you having nothing to do on a sunny sunday.

He’s a Kings fan, doesn’t know poop about hockey. Probs never laced them up either. I bet he’s one of those guys that talks over people in arguments to show how right he is.

Quick > Schneider about the same contract left. Quick is more effective if in the playoffs.

Kovalchuck can still score. Brown was very effective this year on a bad team. A buyout will come for phaneuf either this year or next. Not worried.

In 2020 money is not an issue for either team so it’s pretty irrelevant, but I do feel LA has the better team come 2020. Like I said. Screen shot. I’ll be here.

Edit. Also very good chance Quick is traded and begins the Cal Petersson era. Who showed so promise this year

Schneider is our only bad contact and, frankly, we have so much space, we need it to get to the floor. Our financial situation is objectively better than yours. Just because the contacts expire doesn't mean they won't cripple you in the meantime (not even considering that the same mistakes are likely to happen again).

Through what avenues are you expecting to improve? We have better top end prospects (Smith, Hughes/Kakko, Boqvist), more cap space to sign players, more picks to trade and a GM with a history of knowing how to use them. I just don't see what you're seeing.

The Kings were great, but retools don't begin and end with late first round players.

You’re right, their 2019 pick hasn’t put up one point yet. Might go down as one of the worst picks. Luckily the Kings 2019 pick has scored so much for them already.

Hughes could go down as one of the worst picks. What’s your point?

I still say kings have better prospects. Put them with players that actually know how to win like Kopitar brown carter doughty yeah I say they turn out better than anything NJ has.

Nope I admit when I’m wrong all the time.

And I’ll say it in 2020 if I’m wrong and remember this day.

I’m working on a 24hr shift on an ambulance dippoop.

Also yes. I absolutely am trying to stir the pot. I usually don’t give a rats ass about NJ because, well, their team is pretty irrelevant most of the time to anybody LOL

This is what happens to people living in a smog state going 12 mph on the highway.
I’m not saying everyone in LA is a jack off, but here we are. Are you doing the 24 hrs in the ambulance as a patient or is your school having a ride along and they forgot to pick you up? Dippoop. Because (frank) LA.

You’re acting like their top picks are both playing. Stop being obtuse.

I’m going to go ahead and say kings will be better than NJ in 2 years. They’re still going to get a great player at 5 and combined that if vilardi ever plays LA>NJ hands down in a couple years. I also think Kings have better prospects.

(frank) yeah I’m mad I’ve already admitted that. Like I said NJ is the new oilers. What have they done recently? With multiple #1 and top 10 picks, I’ll remind you nothing. LOL.

LA will be better than NJ. SCREEN SHOT THIS. Then come back to me in a couple years. I’ll be here.

PS
2012 was a great year 😎😘

LA has a team?

Good read Todd. Thanks for the detailed analysis

Loved the breakdown! Keep it up, Todd!

What about Hughes maturity level overall? Have you seen any of his interviews they are cringey.

ban yourself... what does this have to do with hockey or his talent ?

Totally ban worthy

Wow this goalie can't hang

Looks like Hughes is on a strict one touch per shift policy. Coach has to get him off

He's only had two shifts in 15 minutes and gets off almost immediately. Kakko has been invisible as well though. He's had at least one more shift.

He just got on again and was off in about 30 seconds without a touch.

I know Hynes isnt the head coach, but I wonder if this is like "you gotta earn it kid" type thing, otherwise I dont knwo why he was invited? Maybe just to get exposure to the adult game?

This is weird.

They don't have the stats yet but I don't think he played much more than 3 minutes that period.
