Now that is is either going to be a bad contract on too much term or if he plays to his actual abilities a home run for a #1 C. I have heard him and Doughty don't like eachother and there is friction between the two as well. Then again Doughty is rounding the home stretch of his career and Kopitar is not getting any younger so maybe LA shows patience with him there. This is just me speculating btw, I have heard nothing in regards to an LA offer for Marky.

Too risky. Too much stink around PLD. From 30,000 feet he reeks of problem child tendencies. At the very least I think it’s fair to say he’s high maintenance.
