Steven Johnson has barely played in 1/3 of U of Minnesota's games. Injured or just a numbers game with more experience playing ahead of him?

Absolutely ridiculous deep defense at U of Min. Jets 3rd round pick Jack Glover is also not playing much. Just amazing the depth there.

Kubalik for the Czech Republic is still Kings property, I believe.
Zykov if he's healthy would probably be added onto Russia's

Kubalik is Kings property until June 1, 2015.
Zykov was listed on the prelim roster for Russia on eliteprospects.

If we do end up losing Voynov it looks like Roland McKeown would be a good replacement. If I remember correctly people had him going 20-30th overall? How we ended up with him is beyond me.

I had McKeown 25. Fleury was 24. I had them neck and neck. McKeown was a great steal in the mid-2nd. He is a great young player.

Won't be ready for at least another three years. The kid is 18....He will be playing JR hockey, yet again next season.
Then he has to prove he can play at the AHL level. The days of Kings brass rushing up players to the NHL are dead and over thank god.
Nick Ebert is someone you should watch play next season at the AHL level(will get more minutes next season) for a Slava potential replacement.

Colin Milller
I think Colin Miller may be his replacement. He's feisty and is good offensively. He just needs to work on his D a bit I heard.

I don't think there is a replacement to Voynov in the system right now. Unless Lombardi can pull off a trade the defense right now is what we've got, all that is needs to be settled is who's gonna be the 7th guy on the bench and that's not really a big deal.

Yup. Unfortunately Martinez is the guy who will have to step it up. No one is ready in Manchester for a call up. I would've love for Forbort to be ready by now, absolutely ridiculous lol. I mean, I knew he was a project but jeez is this kid EVER gonna be ready?

Forbort is 22, and only in his second year of pro Hockey. Everyone should know NCAA guys are going to take even longer.
Roland McKeown might be ready at 22, but the guy is 18 right now.

Forbort is ready right now! As far as how long it took him, for his size, he had to grow and fill out into his body as much as he also needed for hockey experience. Now, I'd say he's done both. I watch him play at Manchester, and he's playing very well.

This. McKeown was simply a good defensive depth move for the future. Good asset management by DL and company. I hope he pans out, but much too early to tell.

Speaking of McKeown, I'm surprised this good article by the Mayor from several days ago hasn't been posted here. Roland McKeown: Rebuilding for a Brighter Future
Roland picked up his 1st goal, which should take some pressure off. Seems like both McKeown and Lintuniemi are both their teams #1 dmen playing Doughty-like minutes. Seems like a defensive pairing in the future.

Baie Comeau just traded Zykov to Gatineau for Vaclav Karabacek and a third round pick in next years QMJHL draft. Heres the link but the articles in french http://www.rds.ca/hockey/lhjmq/zykov-passe-aux-olympiques-1.2087507 .
Gatineau needs a game breaker like Zykov to push up the standings since they are underperforming. Zykov is in his last year in junior so B-C gets a lesser player that can still put up numbers while being junior eligible for another year and a decent draft pick to build on.
