As a Kings fan I haven't been this disgusted in the front office in a long time they make that joke of a trade for PLD, and they somehow get rid of his contract, and they use the extra money to drastically overpay one of the worst defenseman in the league, and sign Jeannot/Foegele it's unbelievable how incompetent Blake, and Bergevin are they ruined an entire rebuild/retool in 2 years
Wow, three idiots in black shirts and your negative nancy attitude, nice. Sounds like from your comment that you should just quit the Kings and go root for any other of the other 31 teams. Maybe the Ducks?! Bye.
Edmun isn't that bad, but nearly 4m is a lot for him but he's a nasty net front presence
Sadly Luc is the real problem since all the destruction by Blake is happening on his watch! Bothe Blake and Luc need to GO and are the worst management in the NHL !!!
Putting contracts aside, these are the type of players needed to have the kids like, Laffy, Clarke, Thomas, Turcotte and Spence play to their abilities. Lots of kids on roster, they will need some sort of protection, expecially since they all penciled in the bottom 6.
I agree to this, but I fear knowing how this usually goes, they are going to play sheltered minutes. They need to put players in a position to succeed and they cannot have Fagemo, Turcotte, and Thomas get low minutes night in and out on the 3rd/4th line. I see Clarke and Spence succeeding as they showed amazing promise and play, but I want our young forwards to truly have a shot and not get shafted by an aging and offensively inept Trevor Lewis.
Idk why people hate on the Fiala for Faber trade at the time nobody knew Faber was going to be that good, and they had a ton of right D Doughty/Roy/Clarke/Spence, and the Kings badly needed offense, and Fiala has been the Kings best offensive player over the last 2 years
We did know Faber was that good and is why Minnesota asked for him. The bigger issue has been giving away our top picks so easily-- that's the mistake.
@bhbecca people knew Faber was a good prospect, but nobody knew he was going to be that good he was never viewed as a high end/top-tier prospect. I still like that trade for the Kings even knowing how good Faber is now, because of how many good right D the team has/had, and cause without Fiala they'd probably have a bottom 5 offense in the league. I agred about getting rid of top pick too easily, getting rid of Vilardi so easily for PLD ruined the team
If everyone "knew" how good Brock Faber, why did he fall to the late 2nd Round (11th DMan Drafted)??? Kings wanted to sign him and he told them he was going back to school for another year. Kings could not wait on him, they needed to upgrade on offense. Fiala has been great for the Kings. Wild were fortunate that Faber got better in his last year of college. The 1st Round pick as a sweetener in the Fiala'Faber trade was a bit a major overpay in hindsight, but you win some, you lose some. But this deal has worked out for both clubs, with the Wild getting the better of it by virutre of a 1st Round pick and a stud defenseman.
@@augieloya424 They knew how good he was after they drafted him. After his stellar season in college. After his big World Juniors showing. It was on display. Had the Kings kept him he'd be there on a cheap contract and money to go get a scorer in free agency. Kings have mismanaged their assets and budget. Durzi was given away and shining running the PP in Arizona.
@@bhbecca Kings fan practically ran Durzi out of town, with quite a few of them offering to drive him to the airport.
As far as Faber goes, the Kings could not wait around. They needed offensive help and identified Fiala as the guy they wanted
Every deal, every draft pick, every decision on who to keep and who not to keep is a calculated risk.
It seems as if something may have happened behind the scenes that we are not privy to that may have scared the Kings away from him from the standpoint of their ability to sign him and lose him for nothing. Just speculation on my part.
Cries while wearing Kings jersey 😖
I'm a Habs fan who loves Joel Edmunson. He was a joy to watch crosscheck people in playoffs
With that said THIS CONTRACT IS OUTRAGEOUS
I agree with Jesse here. I think LA got worse. On the other hand, they still have $10 million in cap space and maybe they can sign someone or get an asset from Washington, who desperately needs to dump cap space.
They still need to sign Byfield and Spence, which will eat up most of that. Slafkovsky had a comparable season to Byfield and he earned 7.6M.
@@Tompa83They can let Spence walk.
LA shld have grabbed Chychrun instead who was avail & got traded for basically nothing,5 yrs younger and puts up points over Edmundson.
I have been pleading for Chychrun.
As a Ducks fan, I really hope Blake keeps his job for a really long time - because wtf is that man doing?
Blake never fails to keep the kings mediocre
Would have traded Durzi for a used coloring book
Hey, we all know right handed defensemen are a hot commodity around the NHL. So if you have a bunch of good ones you should be able to get some nice assets out of it, right? Well the Kings moved Matt Roy, Sean Durzi and Sean Walker for basically nothing, and on July 1st those guys earned a total of $76.5M between them.
The kings making bad decisions puts years on my life
Kings fan here, absolutely crapped the bed in this offseason signings. We should’ve gone for someone bigger
Kings fan, I get getting rid or Roy because they want to unclog the RHD side because Doughty, Clarke, and Spence are what they want but they should have traded him at the deadline at that point. I get the uncertainty of going into the playoffs and getting rid of a middle pairing piece like Roy, but this was not the way to do it.
That edmundson contract is gross
Faber deal was the one that i just loathe. Thought that one involved Fiala?
Sad Foegele is all about the money, but he didn't look happy with the Oilers, so something else going on there. Foegele is a great player, great skater. Will only get better.
He wasn't happy with the Oilers? Did you watch his post game 7 presser?
Couple things for East Coaster who haven't been following the King's, ever. There are tweets dating back to 2020 from m King's media saying Blake was interested in Edmundson the year Bergevin signed him in Montreal.
King's targeting players of French heritage: The King's have this guy named Luc, you may have heard of, that the GM Blake reports to.
Yes, Bergevin is an advisor, but he's not the one driving these decisions.
Unfortunately, most of Kings Defensemen are puck moving but undersized and were exposed year in and year out, especially during playoffs. Also, their 3rd and 4th lines weren't clicking, so Kings signed more grit and "sandpaper" players. Did the Kings regress skillwise? Yes. But I think they got tougher to play against with Jeannot and Foegele getting on board. In addition, they are opening more audition times to their picks: Turcotte, Thomas, Spence, and Kaliyev.
Glad to hear you list all the horrible Blake trades. Can't wait until he is gone. It'll take a decade for this team to recover.
There’s still some really good pieces in LA. They’ve drafted decently well. Byfield and Clarke are exciting. They got a goalie now in Kuemper. Foegele is a decent Arvidsson replacement. I think they’re better than they were last year
They haven't drafted well at all. Look at who is on the ice that Blake has drafted-- it's only a handful of players and not a single dominating player. Our goalie situation is inexcusable-- especially with all the picks we've had. So many of our picks have turned out to be third line type players-- it's pathetic.
Idk if I’m happy or sad this pod always talk about the kings as a kings fan
The most honest thing you can say about this team is they have too many question marks to be able to predict how they're gonna do, except that it will certainly be better than last season.
Edmundson is better than Andreas Englund. He was on several really bad teams, yours was one.
Kuemper is better than Talbot.
Jeannot is better than the bottom 6 muscle with offensive potential that they haven't had for 5 years.
Foegele is not as good as Arvidsson, but he's healthier, so if he puts up 20 it'll be 20 they didn't have.
It's always 1 step forward, 2 steps back with this Kings management team. They'll make a really good move (or a couple solid small moves) and start to look like they're heading in the right direction and then turn around and shoot themselves in the foot. They JUST got rid of the Dubois disaster and finally had some cap space to worth with and they turn it into Foegele, Jeannot, and Edmundson... Foegele and Jeannot aren't terrible adds (although paying more for Jeannot than the Caps paid for Chychrun isn't a good look) but that Edmundson contract is atrocious - Exactly the 1 thing they couldn't do (overpay for a bad bottom pair LHD) and they found a way to make it happen day 1 of free agency. So frustrating with this team.
As a bolts fan thanks Kings for bailing us out of that contract😂
Kings suck Rob Blake has done nothing to improve this team.
Maybe tanking ?
Would kings have gotten any better if they got eddie vetter?
You guys are wrong , kopitarv, kempe , Moore , FIALA , denault , byfield , kings may had to much talent and not enough toughness , they got a better mix of both now , they will make a run , and keumper excelled in la and will do it again . Mark my words
This will age badly.
Screw you Rob Blake, trading arvidsson? Are you kidding me ?
Arvidsson left as a free agent
And Arvidsson signed for only $2M a season. He was the motor when he was on the ice.
@@bhbecca exactly, he was so cheap and easy to obtain, and he was good
@@danielhallett4962 arvidsson got traded to Edmonton oilers for 4 million three year contract
Re: Brock Faber - Unless I'm misremembering, wasn't the impetus for the trade that Faber said he wasn't going to sign with the Kings?
That's just a straight up rumor. He even stated in an interview post-trade that he was surprised he was traded.
Who knows what his demands were with Blake when they met in person though?
Still, it was an overpayment by Blake giving up a 1st and Faber when the Wild didn't have the cap space to re-sign Fiala.
Everyone knew as much and yet Blake gave up too much, which he has been doing too much of since this trade took place.
Fire Rob Blake already. We did NOTHING!
Listen I’m not gonna disagree but saying the Habs got lucky is a misunderstanding of how they got to that cup final
F**king fire Blake already!!!! Omg he is the worst GM!!
Flakes draft picks, trades and signings are CRAP and he's done nothing to make this team better! They've actually regressed since he's taken over! Ownership must be happy with being mediocre since why else would he keep his job?
Blake is just taking if the team down with him he is so incompetent and has no character at all
leaf fans shiting on other teams moves... will never not be hilarious 😂
tanev is older and slower than edmundson, and isnt very good at anything , the leafs overpaid for tanev and for what tanev gives you
Back to your dishes Donna.
Kings making moves to not make the playoffs!
My god they are yapping about a lot of nothing just get to the point Jesus Christ how annoying
True or False- 1 of the core 4 get traded this off-season, still?
Cmon, Maple Leafs just trade Marner to Yzerman and the Wings. Let Yzerman, stick it in and wiggle it around a lil bit. 🚀
Actually that would likely mean the Red Wings and Leafs would flip positions in the standings.
JC Dangle, can you be anymore clueless about Kings hockey?
My goodness, if it doesn't have anything to do with the Leafs, get someone else next time.
This is why these guys wont ever crack 150k subs. Terrible content
