Inside the Standoff: Why Are the Los Angeles Kings and Adrian Kempe Still at a Standstill?
NHL Rumors: A Pause in Talks Between the LA Kings and Adrian Kempe
But here’s the thing, Matt, there’s no replacement player. Look at their look at their prospect pool. There’s no player coming like that. They draft, you know, they get drafted guys, and it’s worked by guys like Alex Laferrier, right? That’s, that’s the type of, that’s the model they drafted. They don’t have a 35-goal replacement for this team.
So I don’t know why it’s taking so long, but, you know, sometimes one phone call makes a difference.Bbut they have to get it done. I would be stunned if he’s not an LA King, because that’s a, that’s a major misstep, because he wants to play. He deserves that. He’s performed. He’s dangerous. You know, the last thing the Edmonton Oilers to want to see in the playoffs again, even though they won four straight, is Adrian Kempe. He’s a killer in the playoffs. It’s, it’s stunning, given what’s going on in the market with other comparable players right now.”
