      @RinkFloyd i don't think that's fair. Laine was looking really good with multiple 30+ goal seasons when he first entered the league. His defense is bad and now he's playing for a dumpster fire blue jackets team which doesn't give him a lot of spotlight to excel.
      Dubois was the center piece of a massive trade and has been utterly abysmal for the team that gave up so much to acquire him.
      I just don't think they're comparable at all.

    Kings fan here. Jumped for joy when Vilardi scored his first goal in his first game back after battling with injuries. Was going to get his jersey this season. Iaffalo was also a solid guy for us and would be an excellent depth scoring piece right now. Seeing them thrive in winnipeg is good to see, but man does this trade stink from a hockey level but also a sentimental level. Winnipeg is now humming and could potentially win the cup this year with two of our guys, and we’re in the slums losing to the sharks with PLD’s bloated contract and abysmal numbers. Hope he gets it together but this trade is looking totally lopsided right now

  • @pixelj4877
    @pixelj4877 Před 5 měsíci +57

    The kings with vilardi and Iafallo were already one of the best teams in the west, with Vegas, Edmonton, Dallas and Colorado (Nobody expected Winnipeg and Vancouver to be this good when the season started). They didn't need to do this trade. It's a shame it hasn't worked out, because on paper Kopitar Danault Dubois down the middle does sound pretty good, if Dubois performs relative to what he's being paid.

      Lmao performs relative to what he's paid? Huberdeau in Calgary, Gaudreau in Columbus, Seth Jones in Chicago, should I go on? That's not how professional sports work. Because systems and usage can protect players so much. LA got sold potential instead of reality, just like Winnipeg did when they traded for PLD. One great playoff round as a very young player, that's how he continues to get signed. If he could just play like that, every analyst says. Then Reality comes knocking. And PLD just avoids answering the door. No one home, check back later.

There have been times where I could have gotten back to stop a breakaway, but you don't see him in the TV frame until he glides into the frame after the goal is scored. I wish he would try. Just give us some effort! Skate! Skate to the bench at the end of your shift and GET OFF THE ICE. Start with that! He's driving me absolutely nuts watching this lazy play every night!

      I had a great suite vantage point for the 9-8 Kraken game last season so I saw every goal, and none of the 3 goalies for either team could stop the puck.
      Just look at what Quick is doing now for the Rangers. He could still be doing it for the Kings. Team Management matters. Fire them all!

    Good lord that 2016 draft class has fallen off a cliff. Laine is half the player he used to be, Dubois has 0 work ethic or drive, Puljujarvi fell apart with hips made of sawdust, and Juolevi is like a bottom pairing defenseman in Scandinavia... and then there's Auston Matthews who still hasnt learned to pass.

    LA Kings management is a joke, he had shown no signs of being worth that contract yet they still expected him to improve his game greatly. I think he was 24 at the time when he signed the contract, had couple seasons with 60 points back to back, not really projecting any growth. Even if he was putting 60 points at the 8.5M cap hit it would be an overpay with his whole game. It's a mess, without even considering what they gave back in return.

    Getting of Durzi & Valardi were 2 of the worst moves Blake has made. Iaafalo is also gone. They needed a real #1 goalie. The position is going to be their weak spot until, hopefully someone in the farm system comes up. I hate trades with no move clauses in them, whatever DuBois does this year needs to be followed with 60 & 70 point seasons, at least.

    Dubois is a weird player, he had streaks where he can be really dominant but it’s almost like he doesn’t care too much. Like he’s lazy or something, or just has nothing to play for. His highs are high but his lows are REALLY low.
    It’s also not like his skills are shakey, it’s literally like once in a blue moon you actually see him use them. Such an interesting player, but maybe he is just shitty and has finally got what he wanted and doesn’t feel the need to play hard anymore. He got his money, he’s on a decent team and he’s in a warm weather location so there you go.

    PLD Danault Grundstrum and kopi the best center depth in the league
    2. We’re 46 games in give this some time. When kopi retires and when all our young guys keep getting better this team is gonna be nuts. I don’t know why this is the year we expect him to put up a ppg he’s learning and isn’t gonna play first line minutes with kopi on the team
    3. Even with this deal the kings still have a cup in there future. Once a goaltender locked in this team only gonna get better in the next 5 years. Clarkes coming up, Spence, byfield, turcotte (maybe), lafferiere, Kaliyev, Moore all gonna get better.

    @Vibrant_HEHO Před 4 měsíci +1

    The PLD slander is getting old. I’m a kings fan and have watched every game this season, PLD is a good player and is not the issue. Our issue is our coaching staff, they’ve completely lost the room. Todd has made some ridiculous decisions with lineup choices and has refused to change things up when we started losing. To put his stubbornness into perspective, we’re a horrible 1-10 in overtime, and Todd has used the same starting 3 every single time. Biggest team issue has been sloppy play in the defensive end and turnovers leading to odd man rushes, Fiala is the biggest problem with that. PLD is a force with the puck, he’s huge and easily holds defenders off him while he looks to make a play, but he’s a top 6 guy who’s spent most of the season playing with a rookie and a borderline AHL player. Of course he’s not going to produce. I wish more people would actually watch him play before saying he’s terrible
