Kings Final Steps to Land PLD. Pierre Luc Dubois may be heading to LA…any minute now. According to Chris Johnson, the AAV in the sign and trade will be 8.5 M. It appears Montreal gave up on this pursuit and moved the draft picks that would have been in the deal to Colorado…

Currently have 8.2M in cap space. Only AI is counting against cap now. Remove him, that adds $4M (up to $12.2). Add PLD and that takes $8.5 (down to $3.7M).

To have a roster with bare minimum to play a game, they need one more forward, one more D (again, this is the minimum), and a STARTING GOALIE. With $3.7M remaining...

Yeah, cap hell...unless someone is landing in LTIR...

Thank God. First crisis averted. Now just pick Michkov with the 5th pick. No defensemen, no trading down or any of that nonsense.

It definitely is especially since Vilardi can be as good or better. The flip side though is if he stays healthy which he has been hurt a lot and out for long periods of time. So definitely a gamble but I agree it is a little too much.

IMO they should just do a full on block buster deal and add Hellebuyck and with the Kings offer also add a 1st and another 2nd.
