2016 Roster Projections

[Reaper45]

Does Mike Richards retire?

Ahh. Forgot to trade him for...something.

 

[ziggyfan]

Love Stoll. Really hope he stays. Any successful team has good depth players and cannot win only with superstars and Stoll is a prime example of a good veteran player who loves LA.

Stoll stays

 

[KingsOfCali25]

Dealing Vey was a mistake? Really? How so?

I like how we got McKewon with the pick and he's going to be good. But I would rather have Vey over Andreoff or Nolan. Vey had great chemistry with Toffoli and Pearson and could also play RW. It also lets Carter play wing with Kopitar and keeps Richards and Stoll in the bottom 6. I just think the lineup would work better in all different ways (Sutter likes) than having guys play out of their spots in the depth chart.

But I'm most likely crazy thinking that the Kings need more energy and skill guys than big bruisers.

 

[Nashville Transplant]

He just disappears like Peter Quill.

and his brothers Nigh and Daigh

 

[Nashville Transplant]

The Andreoff - O'Neill - Shore line were a combined PLUS FIFTEEN tonight (+5 x 3), going a long way towards believing that Nick Shore is browning in the toaster oven like only a good pop tart will

That's exciting

Andreoff? I thought he was with us not Manchester?..

Conditioning assignment.

 

[SkateFreak]

You guys forgot about Jeff Schultz. He has one more year left on his contract after this year.

 

[kings11]

Gaborik--Kopitar--Weal(needed a body here, but he has the skills)
Pearson--Carter--Toffoli
Brown--Richards--Williams
King--Shore--Lewis
Muzzin--Doughty
Martinez--McNabb
Forbort--Greene

I like these lines but that D needs help so what type of veteran would fit in here both from the teams philosophy and our cap space...would boychuk be a good fit???or Johnny Oduya, Marc Methot, Andrej Sekera????

He's designed to stay down below.

 

[2-4 Slashin]

Hmm How about Richards and Clifford (or King) or Nolan preferrably Clifford for Lucic and Miller
Personally I'd rather have Boychuck as he has Cup experience and plays a style not unlike the Kings

Gabby - Kopi - Lucic
Zykov - Carter - Taffoli
Pearson - Shore - Williams (Pearson will be a two year vet in 2016)
King/Cliff - Stoll - Brown (Brown and King can play any line and we need this)
Andy - Sabourin

Muzzin - DD
Boychuck/MIller - Martinez
Green - McNabb
Forbort

I dont see why Boston would do this at all considering they have great center depth with Bergeron, Krejci, Soderberg, Campbell, etc.

Plus in my opinion Lucic>>>>Richards and Clifford=Miller

 

[Ollie Weeks]

Hasn't Lucic been reduced to a sideshow over the last year or so, or has that been exaggerated?

 

[damacles1156]

Lucic is still a productive Power Forward. He is just having a slow season, made worse by Boston's injuries.

Lucic simply isn't fighting as much, he is shying away from it.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Lucic's biggest problem is his lack of discipline. He's so mentally weak. Guy can't even hold it together in a handshake line.

Lucic to the Coyotes--BD5

 

[Johnny Utah]

Gaborik-Kopitar-Brown
Pearson-Carter-Toffoli
King-Richards-Williams
Clifford-Andreoff-Lewis

Extra: Nolan

This is pretty much the line-up if Stoll leaves as a UFA and all the RFA's are signed, which they most likely will be.

What could happen is the Kings deal one of Clifford or Nolan, which opens up a spot for Shore and moves Andreoff to the wing.

I almost put that, lol.

Sexy lineup.

I actually like that quite a bit, although I'd expect Shore to bump Andreoff from the starting roster before Clifford.

Rumors from the Canadian press and NESN that the Bruins and Canucks might be dealing. Wouldn't that be fun in the playoffs, the kings moping the ice with that disgusting piece of slime.
