The Official 2015-16 LA Kings Thread

[Angel Oracle]

Scuderi still has a $2.25 million cap hit for next season though.    That's pretty much why everyone passed on him, when the Blackhawks put him on waivers.

Unless Deano knows he's retiring

[nando714]

Teddy Purcell back to LA?

A day of reunions?

[Schildog]

read tweets that chi will take most erhoff's salary and eat most of scud's salary.

[Tank]

what? scuderi? purcell? haven't seen or heard any rumors. are these confirmed or just speculation?

 

love scuderi. that hit he took in game 6 of the finals gave the kings a five minute pp that won the game for us. it also gave him the most famous mouth in LA that didn't belong to a kardashian.

[nando714]

Scuderi trade is official

Makes me assume we'll hear more about Purcell now

[Schildog]

Kempe scratched tonight. He getting traded?

Damn. I was hoping he'd be called up with Gabby out

Kings inching closer to acquiring Purcell and Justin Schultz

Looks like Purcell to Florida

[nando714]

Quick turnaround today.

Scuds with a point in his return. Enroth was awesome between the pipes. Pearson as been playing well since coming back from injury.

Let's create some space in the standings tonight

[Schildog]

Watching doughty play/skate is an absolute joy. The game is so effortless for him

[tdawg87]

I'll be happy with a point tonight. That tying goal was brutal.

[nando714]

75% King fans at the pond tonight. Shitty outcome. Fun game to be at though

Were you there? Disallowed goal was kind of crappy but didn't mean anything in the end.

I hate Kessler but that was scary at the end.

[nando714]

Yes. Last minute.

I knew it wouldn't be allowed when they took literally 10min to review it

Also why wasn't no time put back on after the offsides call?

David Pagnotta ‏@TheFourthPeriod 5s5 seconds ago

So trade is:

To LA: Kris Versteeg (RW)

To CAR: Valentin Zykov (RW), conditional 5th RD pick

No salary retained.

Lost in the shuffle tonight

They screwed up, they should have added the time back.

 

I thought when I saw it initially that it was definitely offside but then every replay it seemed closer and closer, I was surprised they called it back.  Since you guys got gifted that weird ass second goal I consider it a wash.

[Angel Oracle]

Versteeg acquisition was unexpected, but very important with Gabby out for who knows how long.

If Gabby somehow returns in April, that is very good depth going into the SCP (knock on wood).

[nando714]

Would like the Kings to add another d man but I think prices are just to high for Deano.

See the Russell trade to Dallas

Nolan is on IR as well.

[nando714]

So the Kings acquired Daryl Sutter's son Brett Sutter from Minnesota

I think they're gonna stash him in Ontario.

[Angel Oracle]

Solid win over the Habs

Still tied with the Ducks though, who insist on never, EEEVER losing.

[nando714]

2 pts. I like this Vesteeg fella.

Let's hope they bring a physical game against Anaheim tomorrow. Would like lucic to get under someone skin early

[Thomas]

20 points ahead of 4th place with 20 to go. Last season the Kings missed the playoffs with 95 points. This year the 4th place team might not get 80.
