My pleasure. I enjoy following prospects so its interesting to see where my views stack up with some specific posters like Holden and Brad Doty, as well as all fans in general.
 
With great username comes great responsibility, and kingsfan handled it like a boss

Lombardi was really impressed with him during the Calder Cup playoffs. In the interview following his announcement as GM of the World Cup team, someone as him about Kempe and he was blown away how well he played,especially the way teams were going after him.

do you have a link for this interview?

thanks in advance :)
 
Awesome job kingsfan, thanks for the work. I don't completely agree with everyone here, but it's interesting to see. Anyone care to dig up old threads from the last year or two and compare?

It's the very last question at the end.

Thanks for that! Good interview. If Kempe does great in camp, I think they should give him a pre season game on LW with Kopitar and Gaborik, to see where he's at and what he can do. (even if that spot will b Lucic's) It will give a gauge of what he can do at this level now, as a top 6. Put him with the best and see what his game is like.

Not sure why you edited out your question on O'Neill but the reason he didn't make the list is because he was never the top requested player to add. I think I seen one person ask for him to be added near the end. I just add whomever the posters ask for the most each poll and I would have added in O'Neill if had had the most requests at any time.

Thanks as always for the poll and the response!

I truthfully just didn't consider O'Neill a prospect
