Eddie Garcia of Locked On LA Kings joins us to discuss the signings and how they improve the team plus what else the Kings need to do to get past the Edmonton Oilers in the Pacific Division.

Corey Perry played better then mcdavid in the finals. Has to spice up the defense and ceci is a veteran at this point meaning Spence was expendable. Did I like the trade no. No fuck it. LA winning the cup because he signing vets to reasonable contracts. Ceci has been on playoffs pushing teams for 2 years In a row. Dumolin isn't as bad as he is made out. He even brought in foraberg low key A+ move so that kuemper can be nice and reseted for the playoffs.
He signed Kuz as well which is pretty big to maintain a topp 6 scorer. He can easily be a PPG player and help lack of offense. Clarke is gunna just get better.
LA wins cup.
You don't always need big fish or fancy toy. They even have sapce for deadline moves.
Holland has ruined this team in the matter of days.
My man Eddie. Such a good speaker. Represents Kings with knowledge, opinion and class. #GoKingsGo
I never get too high or too low over a 5 th and 6th defenseman and 2 4th line forwards….atleast they have bigger bodies to help clear the front of the net…and spence just wasnt that guy at 5'9.
and does anyone remember exactly what the kings rolled out as a 4th line last year? ….safe to say the 2 added are upgrades there
Bro, Marner was never coming to LA! Gavi didn’t want to stay, and they made an extremely generous offer to Anderson in Calgary.. The latter declined and what’s to play, you guessed it Vegas.. We’re a really good team , our GAA , our home record and 105 points.. Sure I had a problem rolling 9-4, but backing off in game 1,3&4 with leads was brutal.. That said, a chip out with what 23 seconds in #4 and we’re going home 3-1.. We now have 4,5 players if you throw in Malott , to make a consistent 4th line..We now have two big , veteran bodies to throw on the 3rd D-pairing.. There not going to be asked to lock down top lines, or jump up in plays!! We need them to eat 10-12 minutes, play big in front of the net, and grind in puck battles.. Have faith Kings fans
I get what management is doing. Fixing the 4th line then wait till trade day and they will bring in a scorer. 🤟😎🤟
KINGS WERE NEVER IN ON GETTING MITCH MARNER.PERIOD!
Holland 1 and out, just like the Kings in the playoffs, if they make the playoffs next season.
