Kempe is the best player on the team today & Luc has pushed the narrative that he's a superstar for marketing. Superstar's get paid.
He's your next captain, 100% worth 10 per seeing his progressing to being mostly offensively focused to growing into a much better 2 way player
Pay him he is worth every penny
I understand Holland‘s approach, it was worth a try but now he has to just close this topic and give Kempe his well deserved money. He’s earned it and 10M is actually a very fair asking price
JUST GIVE HIM THE DAMN MONEY JFC!!
Trade him definitely not worth 10 million a season. Gotta be smart like habs have been lately and flip expensive assets for youth and depth. Bros almost 30 and doesn’t project to age like kopi who never relied on speed.
I’d flip kempe for the largest offer and then make a run at mcjesus next offseason.
No wonder free agents don't want to come here.
Kempe will be worth 10 mil when he scores 40 goals without Kopitar.
Yes, especially when you consider he took a team friendly deal a few years ago. Sign the man
I would give Kempe 10 mill with performance bonuses included = 8 Mill guaranteed and 2 Mill if he scores or gets certain points including playoffs
KEMPE KING/REIGN FOR LIFE!
If Holland can't get this deal done, fire him on the spot.
Kempe needs to be rewarded next season. I have a sugestion but first I must say how unhappy I am with Holland's first day of free agency. Letting our No. 2 Defence man Gavri go for little money. That sucked and he replaced him with two so-so oldees. Kempe, 2 years at $12mill, two years at $11mil, two years at $10mil and two years at $9mil, $84 mill total. Cap is going up and he deserves this. DO IT.
Holland notoriously overpays. But Kempe is also your best player. Pay him or lose him!
We want the best of ALL worlds. The man took a team friendly deal last time and out performed it. Selflessness needs to paid in spades when appropriate in LA
Yes 10 mill sign today stop wasting time
He’s worth it. Give him the money…!
I like kempe to but I would start under 9 million also i don't care if he played for less before that was then this is now if he wouldn't take 8 million for 6 years i would trade kempe for sure 💯
No 8 year deal Holland please don't sign kempe till he is 37 years old noooooo
What do u mean he earned it Eddie the past is the past 🤦
And no his jersey # shouldn't b in the rafters i don't think not right now anyways
I don't care about nhl cap going up 10 million for kempe is a big over payment Eddie i don't agree at at all no f..kin way and it's not going to look better
19 minutes in to this video I had to end it can't listen to anyone foolishness Eddie the kings already have to many players overpaid it needs to stop Eddie just because cap is going up soon all players r going to want raises the kings need to stop over paying players if they don't want to play in la move on and find other players it's that simple
Thanks for another great episode, Eddie. Go Kings Go!
