@stingatthebar @NHLRussell Definitely one of those “so close, yet so far” series just like that one

Kings game morning hangover recap
- Physicality and defense present, offense still invisible.
- Wasted another great Anton game.
- Missing Fiala’s playmaking.
- Have to think Kuz gets in back home where matchups are easily dictated.
- Tall mountain to climb in LA

@AndrewKnollNHL @LordsOfTheRinks As soon as the laundry list of injuries came out, I KNEW coaching and management would blame these losses mostly on that. No no, we’re not a bad team, the league is just tough… we’re right there. Just lying straight to all of our faces still
English
Hiller says he remains confident. "I feel the same way, I really do. We've had a couple injuries that probably have slowed us a little bit, but I believe in our team, I really do. I've said this since maybe six or seven games into the season, we are going to get on a run."
English
@vegaTron1983 @LAkings23811 I get the feeling that Greentree, Cihar or Brzustewicz would have to be included for someone like Panarin. Clarke though, I’d have to agree. The era of Clarke needs to be in full swing now, Doughty needs to take the role of the mentor
English
@LAkings23811 @TTS0428 He's worth every penny and need to play him. He's gonna be the face of the franchise with byfield and Greentree, Cihar as long as none are traded.
English
Let’s be real:
If the Kings traded for Panarin I would be excited. He’s a legit STAR the kings desperately NEED.
My problem:
1. He’s 34.. how many more years of high level production does he have left? It can drop off a cliff at any moment..
2. Cost? 1st, Greentree, +? Too much
NHL Trade Rumors@nhltraderumours
Friedman: "I think Panarin would consider LA." 👀 The Kings are 30th in goals. Kopitar is retiring. The prospect pool is thin. Acquiring Artemi Panarin is the high-risk, high-reward move LA needs to save their season. But is the cost too high?👇 nhltraderumor.com/artemi-panarin…
English
@LAkings23811 @vegaTron1983 Yeah I’d say go for it. Max term, get a deal worked out, and get the details hammered out so that you sign it July 1 and you then have your number to toy with in free agency for the rest of the roster
English
@TTS0428 @vegaTron1983 Max term. Kings need to stop playing around with Clarke.
English
@LAkings23811 @vegaTron1983 In your opinion, would you look to try and sign a max term deal with Clarke or more like bridge term? It’s a tough read if the team will want to go long term or keep it bridge
English
@LAkings23811 @vegaTron1983 I’d add on that a Panarin contract kills our cap space. Brand Clarke is still an RFA as of July 1st. Look to Jackson Lacombe as a comp for Clarke at this point. Where is that money coming from?
English
@vegaTron1983 Eh producing 50-60 points at that age is good! But not worth the contract the Kings would pay 10-12 million.
English
@ByfieldForHart I think one of the biggest things that isn’t being talked about is if Panarin is given a $10+ million deal by the Kings in a sign and trade… what happens with Clarke as an RFA this summer? Look at what Jackson Lacombe just got
English
@TheBannermenPod @WriteTh3Future I’d concur. Giving out another $10+ million deal is not the move. Especially because look at who our #1 RFA is… Brandt Clarke
English
@WriteTh3Future Respectfully, I would not. Those assets would better be used chasing a center, IMO.
English
Don’t do it Ken. This is not the way.
Let him go to Detroit or Carolina.
Chris Johnston@reporterchris
With the #NYR committed to holding Artemi Panarin out of their lineup until the Feb. 4 Olympic roster freeze, sources say the pending UFA is seeking a contract extension as part of signing off on any trade.
English
@9kempe There’s zero reason he should be back in Ontario, but as soon as Kopi is back, H2 (Holland and Hiller) will send him right back
English
@NHLRussell There is zero reason Ward should be back in Ontario this season… though I don’t anticipate that to be the case
English
@LockedOnLAKings Carter George should be untouchable unless someone capable of 80+ points is involved in the return
English
He’d need to be a pretty good scorer I think.
James LA@JamesLambLA
@LockedOnLAKings Thinking he will be the goalie in any package that the Kings make for a scorer.

@Kopitar4HOF A lot of potential back between 2017-2020 but here we are with very little left. It’s sad because perhaps they could have been impactful had the roster been managed differently, but that may be fans being hopeful too. Still very sad to see that old optimism basically gone now
English
Seems to be the case for a lot of the 2018-2020 picks, including some of the players they didn't sign to their ELCs (i.e. Simontaival)
#GoKingsGo
Edgar@EA_ABR
@Kopitar4HOF Sucks man it absolutely freaking blows that another one of our players in our prospect pool that we were excited for didn’t pan out to be what we expected
English
@DailyLak Clarke has been consistently productive, which makes it all the more frustrating how little time he’s getting. He can’t make up for the top 6 being ghosts, but at least there’s his productivity
English
@DooleyLAK 12 minutes left in the 1st when the broadcast starts… 🙃
English
Kings/Sharks will begin on ESPN News as the DAL/WSH game ends.
English
@NHLRussell ESPN is CONSISTENTLY late starting games, especially for West Coast night games. Fan Duel Sports has a more lame name but they’re so much better quality
English
This Kings/Sharks game isn’t going to start until like 8:30pm, I’m feeling frenzied alright
English
@DooleyLAK Absolutely one of the best atmospheres I’ve seen in a bit, pleasure to be at that game today! Great work by Q and his line, now to hopefully see some of that consistently
English
One of the best crowds of the season today, btw. Loud, engaged, energized and a healthy boo every time Edmonton holds they puck behind their own net.
Great atmosphere 👏
English
@LockedOnLAKings One of the best and most energetic games I’ve been to in a bit! Very pleased to see that effort and skill show through, especially from Q and his whole line
English
@NHLRussell Spence and Moverare 👀 it’s at least worth a try and.. Letting more internal talent PLAY!
English
Imagine if Spence had a capable defensive partner.
Don’t let this infatuation the organization has with size fool you.

@DailyLak If we were to trade Spence, it would be another example a King’s pick that some other team gets to enjoy the success of. Even at 5’ 10” he has been the most noticeable guy on the blue line this series. Trade Spence = failure in the making
