You're being modest, I say six and a half Leopolds.

The logjam on the sabres D needs to break, I wouldn't add a forward just to add one though. From LA I would look at Gagne not Stoll, Jerret has too much term left on his contract for my liking.

Kings dont really need Leopold. We already have Martinez who plays the same game. And is most def better defensively. We need a guy like Volchenkov. A bullet sponge so to speak. Go out and bang bodies and block shots. Volch paired with Voynov could be a solid pairing. Just not sure if LA is interested in a contract that goes further than this year.

Not in a million years. Stoll is worth like six Leopolds.

I think you're underestimating the value of Leopold. In buffalo he has been a solid two way dman. Mike Weber or McNabb would work for them then. McNabb is already beloved though.

Even if he's healthy. Stoll is a big part of this team. He's a big part of our locker room. He loves being part of this team and in LA. We dont have a guy to do what he does. We have zero C's in the system who can do what he does. Leopold is a older and less defensive reliable version of Martinez.

If we are gonna find a dman. Its gonna need to be a defensive style dman. Im betting that we are perhaps looking into Brett Clark. Leopold doesnt do anything for us. Maybe Regier or Weber. But def not Leopold.

I love your fiction that Nonis is just finding out what the deal is with the Luongo trade as if Nonis has not been not only in on it, but in fact the lead negotiator all along. There is nothing Burke knew about it that Nonis did not know about it the whole time. It is well know within that organization - and yes, on this account, I actually have a source, and in some ways two - that Nonis had been doing most of the GMing in terms of communicating with other GMs about trades all along, including Gillis. That you posit it as something Nonis is just finding out is more evidence of your fictionalizing; well, really, lying,

Hilarious. How stupid of a statement was that from Ek.

Seriously though, if Bozak is the main peice coming back I would sooner buy out luongo.

With Mithcelle going down. We are gonna need a very reliable Dman to play with Doughty and or Voynov. We have our own Leopold in Martinez. Leopold makes no sense for the Kings. We dont go down a Mitchelle and go in for a Leopold.

If the Avs let O'Reilly walk............I will be very, very upset indeed. I truly believe the only shot we have at the playoffs is with that guy on our roster.

I hope you posted this drivel for the enlightenment of all the other non-Kings fans here. I'm all stocked up on knowledge regarding the importance of our players.

I agree with you regarding our defensive needs though, if we need anyone at all due to Mitchell's absence. EK is just grasping at straws here like always. I just wish he didn't put the words 'Quick' and 'LA' into the title. Drives me crazy.

I don't think Ek's statement was anywhere close to being as stupid as your's was.You WIN


But seriously instead of getting something like Bozak in a deal for Lou you would rather your owner spend tens of millions to buy him out? WOW It's like who needs a 2nd or 3rd line center that put up almost 20 goals and 30 assists in 75 games..Yep spending that kinda money is def better then getting something worthwhile back..

So much for Ek's strong E4 and almost E5, on Luongo to the Leafs, last night. It's now an E3. Wait another 24 hours and it'll be an E2. Then Luongo becomes a Flyer! Then Ek will experience what it's like to be a Leafs fan......
