Saw this, thought it was funny. Already has McDavid as the #1 pick.

I think Zboril is interesting but not where we are at. We'd probably trade back in that case imo.

If you look at the edit history, somebody put McDavid as drafted by Edmonton but that got reverted two minutes later. I'm glad I never got into editing Wikipedia or else I'd spend way too much time reverting stuff that folks were having fun with.

Gotcha

I would have changed the draft lottery order to read LA as the winner 5 minutes before the televising of it.

Here's the hat the Kings' first selection will be donning next Friday:

 

[Reclamation Project]

Not bad. Way better than the playoff ones.

 

[Primakov!]

At one point I had a desire to track down the Draft Day hats for each of the Lombardi years with the Kings so that I can put them up on display, but I could never really track them down. They seem to go out of production really quick.

I'd rather they come out with one post-draft with the names of either all of the Kings picks on it, or just whoever they get in the first round with something like 'Draft 2015: The future Kings Court' on the front. I don't see what makes that a 'draft day' hat versus any other hat.

NHL released the draft order today for all selections.

I think that is as a brilliant idea

 

[Reclamation Project]

13. Los Angeles
43. Los Angeles
74. Los Angeles
104. Los Angeles
134. Los Angeles
187. Los Angeles (from NJD)
194. Los Angeles

I have big expectations for #43.

A HIGH 2nd rounder? You know he'll be in the top six next year!

If you wanted a reference to find 'em, here are the Kings' picks under Lombardi wearing their draft day caps. Don't notice much if any changes in between some of them.

2006:
Jonathan Bernier

Trevor Lewis

2007:
Thomas Hickey

2008:
Drew Doughty

2009:
Kyle Clifford

2010:
Derek Forbort

2011:
Michael Mersch

2012:
Tanner Pearson

2013:
Valentin Zykov

2014:
Adrian Kempe

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Forbort looks like Paul Rudd in that shot.

 

[Reclamation Project]

And probably more funny.

 

[kingsfan]

Zykov looks like Jesse Eisenberg

 

[cyclones22]

I have the white fabric with black stitching version of Zykov's cap. One of my favorites.

 

[Captain Mittens*]

Alright if we are going there, Kempe looks like Jax Teller in that pic and Hickey looks like Curious George

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Hickey looks like a kid who can't believe his name was called at fourth overall.

Why do I have the feeling that Dean is targeting Zacha? Something about conquering the ice with hulking centers seems to have been Dean's MO over the past several years.......

that's fine - but the question is will he be on the board by #13, and if not (heard a lot about him going at 8-10), would we be giving up too much to get into the top 10?
