Inside the Standoff: Why Are the Los Angeles Kings and Adrian Kempe Still at a Standstill?
Bernstein: “Yeah. Yeah.”
Marchese: “And that’s the part that confuses me the most, is that I look at the player and I say, ‘perfect fit.’ And offensive, offensively gifted, and he’s responsible in his own end. Like, these are the types of guys that A) you want to keep around, but you’re happy to pay to keep around. Like, why do they not want to get over that $10 million mark, Dennis? Like, that’s the part that I don’t understand.”
Bernstein: “I don’t know. I don’t know, and I’m sure it’s unsettling for the player. And I talked to him about when you’re going to sign, he goes, ‘Look, I get that straight deadline and I’m not signed. That’s a big problem.’ Like he says at Christmas, maybe Thanksgiving.
