NHL Off-Season 2015 |OT| With the first pick the LA Kings are proud to select...
- Thread starter Kave_Man
- Start date
D.Sedin - H.Sedin - ?????
Burrows - Horvat - Vrbata
Higgins - Bonino - Kassian
Hansen - ????? - Dorsett
Edler - Tanev
Hamhuis - Sbisa (ugh)
Clendening - Corrado
??????
Miller
Markstrom
So we got Brendan Gaunce, Jared McCann (not ready), Jake Virtanen (not ready), Cassels (not ready), Jensen (if he doesn't make it this year he's not making it), Subban (probably not ready), and Shinkaruk (he looked ready last year in pre-season, give him a shot).

:lol
We still got Stanton, too, he'll probably be 7th D
In the end, not really. CAR's 3rd round pick is almost same as what ANA's 2nd round pick next year will be. Unless they have some bad luck during the season.
Oh we got Stanton qualified? Never mind.
A) The tanking strategy has shown to be an absolute failure unless you are willing to go 10 years like EDM or luck out like PITs and CHI. It's all about that balanced approach we've seen with other teams.
B) This city and ownership group cannot survive a tank like TOR and EDM has done.
we didn't? why not
fuck that
also, we qualified Kenins, so there's at least that
we'll trade you a 2nd round pick for Sharp, deal?
That's awesome :lol
Only if we can trade that pick to Boston for a 3rd

COME HOME SASHA
On a one-year deal.
why would you trade a 2nd round pick to Boston for a 3rd?
Is your last name Sweeney, too?
Because Boston would probably counter with a 1st and a 3rd.

Sadly, I think Bickell and Seabrook are staying now. If they couldnt offload either to pay Saad what he deserves.
I'm going to be hate watching half of the team this year

I guess Anaheim will extend Bieksa. Decent replacement for Beauchemin.
I wonder if Benning will target a defenceman with the cap space.
EDIT: Sounds like Wilson changed the 2015 2nd to 2016 so Benning said no.

On what planet did Saad deserve $6.5M? Sure wasn't this one. ~$4M is the highest he should have gotten. Better players than him have signed bridge deals for a lot less than that.
They'll find someone to dump Bickell on, even if it's for a conditional 7th.
Seabrook, like I told you before, wasn't going anywhere. There's no damn way they were going into the season with Keith/Hjalmarsson as the only sure things on defense.
I hate half the team every year so I can say, it's pretty easy to do.
We really don't have a choice considering our back end now.
A part of me wonders if Benning traded Bieksa to Anaheim just to stick it to San Jose a little bit.

Getting sick of how negative this board is becoming.
Why can't you just approach life with a positive mental attitude, Tabris?

Not like this.
Don't worry once September rolls around it'll be back to penny whistles and moon pies

Because he is a dingus
"Seabrook with the puck, stolen from Seabrook!"
e: totally worth 5.8mil a year.
e2: everyone keeps talking about Sharp being traded because of his contract, he makes 100k more than Captain Turnover
Man they really fucked up Pacman
Reminds me of the Rockies that Grapes used to coach.

Never thought I'd see the day someone would be hating on Seabrook.
How bout a nice Bozak for him? D:
LOL
Throw a rookie out there one a line with Toews/Hossa or Kane and he can probably replace the 16 goals Sharp scored this year.
Throw a rookie defensemen out there in place of Seabrook and he's going to get slaughtered.
We have good defensive prospects but they aren't ready to replace Seabrook.

Well we certainly don't need Wiz so let's get Bieksa instead.

Seabrook looks better because of Keith, but he's still a good defenceman. Scores big goals in the playoffs too.
I want Sharp traded, he's not worth that contract, neither is Seabrook.
I want Bicks, SB and Sharp all gone now. I'm pissed Saad is gone.
