2014 LA Kings Draft Thread

[saintsnsoldiers]

Think we can snag Hunter Smith with our 2nd?

Looks like we could have 2 2nd's this year. This came from lakings.com. Article was published today.

And one final note involving the Kings. LA could end up with Toronto's second round pick. The Kings acquired the choice in the June 2013 trade that sent Jonathan Bernier to Toronto. The Leafs have the choice of giving up their second rounder in either 2014 or 2015.

I believe Toronto's 2nd round pick this year went to the Ducks? in the Holland trade? and thought this pick went to Columbus for Gaborik?

Any chance we draft Julius Honka?

 

[Jason Lewis]

I find myself disappointed in most mocks, but your Quenneville pick was solid!

Thanks a lot buddy! Much appreciated. Where's your mock pick at? I surely must have missed it in here somewhere.

I want Coyotes to get Lemieux. He'll fit nicely with Samuelsson and Domi.

I haven't participated in any mocks, and I haven't watched enough of all the prospects I wanted to make a good list.

jason i was wondering what you thought of ryan macinnis? any shot at dropping to 60 for us ? or us going to him at 29? At 6 3 185 seems to fit in the kings size and 200 foot game to me Anyone else that wants to answer feel free to

I saw that too, but I don't believe it is correct. The NHL already posted the draft order here http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=723157

And every other mock draft and draft order web page I have seen only has us with the 60th pick overall in the 2nd round. Hope your are right though, that would be awesome.

He's the player I would like to see the Kings land, however, it looks like for that to be a reality, the Kings would have to move up to the 15-20 range to select him. He'll probably be long gone by the time it is the Kings' turn.

 

[Kings Eat Fart]

Lol at nhl tonight for predicting brendan lemieux as our pick.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Is tomorrow the draft? And will it be on NBCSN at what time?

I think if he's our guy we make a move on it. Wouldn't be shocked to see a few prospects/picks get bounced around at the draft. Have to imagine our team is working to get an additional 2nd-4th rounder or two.

I would try and move Nolan at the draft for a pick. We'll see. Need some room for more skilled players. Most (not all) teams are moving away from the staged fights enforcer era. That would be my only worry.

Anyone remember how long day 2 of the draft was?

I actually wouldn't be oppose to this pick... from what I read and see...

Any one know if kingsvision will do any interviews of the scouts pre-draft like they usually do?

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

It seemed to move quickly due to selections being made by teams at their table. I want to say 4 hours or less, but that's just going off of memory from watching the later round footage on TV or online.

 

[CanadianKingsFan14]

With the 29th pick id like to see us take John Quenneville or Ryan MacInnis.

Jordan Nolan put up 6 goals to go along with 4 assists, so he's not necessarily just a meat pounding goon.

Kevin Westgarth brought back a 4th and 6th so maybe we can ship him over to Pittsburgh where Jim Rutheford has relocated to so he can cough up some tasty picks again.

Hell, with the wingers the Pens have, Nolan would play with Crosby at some point and put up double digit goals.
