NHL Shock: Mysterious Silence Falls Over LA Kings and Adrian Kempe Contract Negotiations
But I don’t think the Connor deal really, you know, affected Kempe’s side. I think they understand where they’re at. He’s in the elevens by all accounts. I think at the start of the offseason, when they started discussions, where’s your starting point? It’s closer in the 10s. And LA was under nine. And, you know, I mentioned this yesterday on as well with Irf. That’s kind of where things were at then, and then just obviously, with the marketplace, that where it’s at, everything kind of shifted.
So I don’t think it’s, it’s really that. I think it’s, you know, they, the team understands where the ask is, but the player, you know, understands where the team ask is. They’ve got to find a way. There’s still a bit of a gap there, which I think is why they’re just going to kind of pause things for the time being and then, and then get back at it in a few weeks.”
