F marner lol
I have exceedingly low expectations for free agentcy. Big-time free agents don't sign with the Kings. I'm not sure if it's the tax situation, the city itself, or the organization. This team is getting worse. I expect some mid to lower tier signings.
Yay, Kuzi!!! Glad Kuzi will be back on the Kings 🤴 👑!
Gav is hitting the market. Kings down 2 dman now. Walker, Durzi, Spence, Gav, Roy all gone. Now, kings are looking for defensemen in other places. Another mismanagement by the front office. Even with Kuzmenko signing, kings are still in need of scoring and are pretty weak on the back end. Let's see what happens tomorrow. Things look pretty bleak as of tonight.
Holland said he wants a veteran defenseman, what about Burns?
Shouldn't be too expensive and is definitely experienced.
It sucks I was pretty bummed when I saw the trade today. However, as exciting as he would've been, I think the Kings will benefit in the long run. Committing over $30M to three wingers is not ideal. Especially when your #1 center is 37 years old. Kings will be way better off using that cap space for a center next season.
Thank God no Marner.
We got Kuz on 3/8 and proceed to go 17-4. (Ignore game82, with QB nursing that savagery from Oilers 2 nights earlier.) Not a coincidence. Kuz was the piece we needed. Hope the KKK line can produce again.
Give Gavi what he wants. Whatever identity this team is striving for under Hiller went straight through 84. One of the only Kings with grit night in and night out.
Stunning in purple Eddie
Vegas won the division, but they clearly weren’t the best team in the pacific.. I actually seen them on the outside looking in , Marner will help.. We match up good with them and Winnipeg, but we need to get better.. Cmon KH
He picked the better team… seems logical to me
Funny how you say no big deal kings didn’t land Marner but ignore the elephant in the room… who ya gonna get to make the Kings contenders?!? Gav doesn’t make kings contenders… it makes them first round losers again
Why haven't either teams or the NHL have announced the Marner trade on there social media pages they have announced other trades and also the Marchant resign as well something doesn't feel right
Marner is too small for the playoffs, and he has shown no killer instinct. Not worth $12M/year. Use $8M for a good (but not superstar) forward and $4M for a solid defenseman.
Hey, Eddie did you here about conner McDavid may not resign with the Oilers. He talked about winning a cup, and the oil let him down. So he is not in a hurry to resign with the oil. Boy would that be something, if he signed with the kings👑. Just remember the Wayne Gretzky trade, anything is possible. Go kings go.
I gotta feeling KH is gonna pull a sign & trade with NYR…Gavy goes to NYR and LAK gets K'Andre Miller
Thank God no marner go to Vegas like Toronto failed😂
So youre upset that the underperforming bum who got their salad tossed in every playoff series, decided they wanted to play for another team??
Where is the loss?? Marner was not going to help the LAK beat the Oilers. PERIOD
Who is the coach of Ontario Reign ?
That hat is awesome! Wish i could find it here in Canada!
$4.3 for Kuzmenko is ridiculous! Kings needed to save up and make a huge deal for a proven goal scorer!
This guy is always a sunshine fan! The Kings are dying!
It pays to tamper and or extort teams…. NHL gets zero credibility for allowing this trade to go through…
Everyone in the division is getting better
Thanks for keeping us updated I’m bummed I’ve been so busy couldn’t watch the draft but I’m happy if we can make some free agent moves or effective trades I think we could take the next step but to early for playoffs I’m looking forward to game 1
Bottom line? We’re first round losers again..
Marner was NOT the answer.
I'm glad we didn't get Marner but I do not for the life of me know why we got Corey Perry. He's gonna bring his curse to us.
Phew glad He didn’t choose LA
Anyone know eddies email? I’d like to send him a question for the fan feedback show. Thanks
Perry, ceci, dumoulin, armia … l.a is missing the playoffs
Can’t wait to hear Eddie go off on the Cory Perry signing
So Gavi goes to Rangers for just 7m !!!! Then Kings get 2 other defenseman for 4m each, 8M total. So why not just keep Gavi and Spence for the same amount roughly ? Gavi and Spence were better than two aging D men we picked up ????
The kings just signed a bunch old, slow, washed up hockey players. How are they going to beat vegas, dallas and colorado in april?
