@TheBannermenPod Based on recent signings if Laferriere scores 25G and 55-60 Pts he’s going to be looking at close to $9-10M a yr on a 7yr deal in the summer

[Raj Grewal @Roach99]

@TheBannermenPod With a projected $123M cap going into that season LA will only have spent around 35.8% of their cap space. So definitely expecting LA to make some huge offers to some elite talent

[Raj Grewal @Roach99]

@TheBannermenPod The summer Mcdavid, Mathews, Werenski and Brady Tkachuk are scheduled to be UFA the Kings only have 7 current NHLers under contract and 3 of those will be in their last years before UFA (Byfield,Fiala,Laughton)
And Laferriere will be a RFA
LA will have only $44.04M on the cap

@sportsrage To me Haaland is like Draisaitl
Just needs one shot/chance to kill you.

[Raj Grewal @Roach99]

@Kopitar4HOF Oh that’s perfect. The chances of none of the 5 getting injured is low so I’m sure they will all get quality time playing in the NHL/AHL

[Raj Grewal @Roach99]

@Kopitar4HOF I was expecting Clarke and Byram to sign for something similar to Luke Hughes. Guess going on a shorter term got Clarke less but still a nice payday

[Raj Grewal @Roach99]

@Kopitar4HOF @TylerHolden92 IMO Carlsson and Gauthier are in a different tier than those two. With the signings of Demidov and others this past year he should have known it was going to be around $12.5 a year.

@Kopitar4HOF 8 George
15 Slukynsky
19 Portillo
That was daily face offs goalie rankings from Aug 2025
Side note- Wallstead was ranked 12th!
He had dropped from #2 after a bad season
Goalies run hot and cold with only a handful being able to continually play at an elite level

[Raj Grewal @Roach99]

@Kopitar4HOF Portillo 8
Hammer 24
George 34
Those were the April 2026 rankings for goalie prospects from Dobber Hockey

[Raj Grewal @Roach99]

@ByronMBader Would be interesting to see this type of model from like 5-10 years ago to see how correct it was as these “prospects” turned into actual stars,players or busts

[Raj Grewal @Roach99]

@Kopitar4HOF @TylerHolden92 IMO he was correct in doing so on both

[Raj Grewal @Roach99]

@Kopitar4HOF Lee. Connors. Wright
Cihar. Slukynsky. Chromiak
Jamsen. Pinelli. Pederson
Jenik. Guttman. Ziemmer
Lawrence

🤷🏾‍♂️

[Raj Grewal @Roach99]

@JWPatarino We shall see.

[Raj Grewal @Roach99]

@JWPatarino Edmundson > Gustafsson

[Raj Grewal @Roach99]

@FriedgeHNIC Only Ken Holland could confuse Patrick Laine with Lane Pederson lol

[Raj Grewal @Roach99]

@LeggetNHL How has Tyson Moss looked?

[Raj Grewal @Roach99]

@Kopitar4HOF Zucs should help on the pp. imo moverare was better suited for LA than Gustafson. Not a fan of his at all lol

[Raj Grewal @Roach99]

@AiDisasters @JWPatarino @EarlSkakel 👍🏽
