Top five contenders for next year...posted in this thread because guess what, they have the Kings as #1.  I hope the Ducks get downplayed a lot this summer, if I can get the Ducks at 8-1 or better in Vegas I'm gonna bet the crap out of that.  

 

Sorry if this next one is a Craig, very interesting article on why/how the Kings season went wrong:

Both need espn insider subscription.

[Thomas]

I don't think that list is weighted 1 to 5.

[Schildog]

Insider links are useless to me. Copy and paste maybe?

[mrwicked]

The first link worked for me and I'm not an Insider.

Did you try it?

Mike Reilly won't sign with Columbus. Now a FA. Kings in his top 4. 2 time all American at Minnesota

[mrwicked]

he'll end up with the hawks.

we all know it.

[nando714]

he'll end up with the hawks.

Apparently there's a top 2 of Chicago and la. He recently visited the Kings facility

Doesn't look good for kings and Sekera

Pens and wings are the favorites

[Gavin]

Nando, don't worry about Eklund. He makes up shit all of the time. That being said, I wouldn't mind if he was right. Sekera looked solid with the Kings.

[nando714]

Kings schedule release is tomorrow at 7am

[nando714]

Opening night October 7th vs San Jose

[nando714]

Kings and Tyler Toffoli finalizing 2 yr extension worth 6.5m.

Hearing Lucic to the Kings...possibly close

stay tuned

Discuss this Rumor

 

 

If this is true.  I really don't get this one.  He's owed $6 million next year, and is a FA after that.  Last year he had 44 points.  Although in the 4 years prior to that, 3 years he had 59-62 points.  Unless it's a swap, financially I don't get it.

[Angel Oracle]

Lucic's one year remaining salary would fit in, because any new Kopi deal would start in the 2016-17 season.

 

His style is perfect for the Kings (strong wing, solid +/-).

On the LOL side, bears a facial resemblance to John Lackey.

[nando714]

Lucic to Kings for 2015 1st round pick (13th tonight)/ G Martin Jones/ D prospect Colin Miller

James Duthie ‏@tsnjamesduthie 7m7 minutes ago

Milan Lucic just got the call that he is an L.A King: "I'm thrilled. Gives me another chance to win a cup."

[Punk]

Everyone is going to hate us, lol. 

 

KINGS ARE SO DIRTY!! 

[Punk]

Seriously, I think Boston won the trade. We'll see what happens though. 

 

I'm going to be pissed if Lucic signs back with Boston. It's funny too because Lucic is on the Kings on my NHL 15 GM mode lol

Edited June 26, 2015 by CM Punk

[nando714]

Apparently Boston is eating some of Lucic salary. How much? I can't find anything with a specific dollar amount.

@ESPNJoeyMac: Bruins also retain $2.7 million of Lucic’s salary, per source.

@Real_ESPNLeBrun: The Bruins retained close to half of Lucic's cap hit/salary in order to make trade work with the cap-strung Kings

Edited June 26, 2015 by nando714

[Punk]

That's good news.

 

The problem with Lucic will be re-signing him. 

[Angel Oracle]

Exactly, sign Lucic and they probably kiss Kopi good bye.

[Tank]

there's not a snowball's chance in hell i'd keep lucid over Kopitar.

 

on the whole, i hope this trade works out for us and that the bruins don't draft another ray bourque type player with our draft pick.

 

i'm gonna miss jones. i really liked that kid. guessing that berube will get the call as the backup.

[Schildog]

that's the final nail in williams' coffin methinks.
