[Martyros]

are we never drafting euros, ever again?

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

Interview with one of our prospects coming up.

It's Jaret Anderson-Dolan. He had a feeling L.A. might choose him.

Hard-working two-way player. Looks up to Jonathan Toews. Traitor.

 

[Bandit]

are we never drafting euros, ever again?

Correct, and only because they are European. Definitely not because there are other players available that are deemed to be better by the scouting staff.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Not quite on topic but anyone know how Alexander Dergachyov's season went?

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

Markus Phillips, D, our next pick at 118. Likes Drew Doughty.

Markus Phillips

6ft 202 lbs left shot Dman

Hockey News ranks 44 ISS 43

Best case Karl Alzner

- solid all around defenseman that loves to join rush

Why did he fall so much?

yes; because that is what i implied, completely, with that statement.

Hoping we got a good deal.

Next Kings picks are 5th-rounders 134 and 138 (from Tampa Bay, otherwise known as the Budaj pick). Currently, they are on pick 130.

 

[Bandit]

When being European is the only criteria you give, yeah, it is.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Cole Hults; more lefties on the back end.

He's rotting in the KHL not getting much playing time.

I wish he could play in the AHL, but he's under contract in the KHL for another year.

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

cole hults; more lefties on the back end.

So we have a Kale and a Cole.

Bummer. I think he'd make a great 3rd/4th line center.

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

He asked to be traded from Ottawa. Does anyone know anything about that? Attitude issues?

 

[KingsOfCali25]

Cole Hults; more lefties on the back end.

So our most pressing need is more scoring forwards and we still keep picking LHD. Looks like our drafting hasn't changed much from Dean and Co.

They did draft two forwards who were highly ranked with their top two selections, and just selected another forward. Lot of teams trying to stack up on D-prospects as well. Perhaps Nashville's blueprint of developing dmen in droves is influencing others. The Kings have also done this, with varying degrees of success.

Who cares. Draft for BPA. This late they are at least 5 years away if they even have a chance. Team will look way different then

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

Next and last pick will be pick 165 in the 6th round.

Seriously? They got Vilardi and Anderson-Dolan as their first two picks.

They have no only drafted the best available players, but they have addressed a lot of needs, including skilled forwards and a goaltender.

Get a grip.

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

We have 2 Mikeys and 2 Andersons.

 

[kingsfan28]

We have 2 Mikeys and 2 Andersons.

Don't we also have a Spencer Austin and an Austin Spencer too?

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

Spencer Watson and Austin Wagner.

Here's Mikey A.



And Mikey E.

 

[King'sPawn]

Don't we also have a Spencer Austin and an Austin Spencer too?

Spencer Watson and Austin Wagner, but close.

But we now have a Kale Clague and a Cole Hults

 

[Nizar]

After 12 years another Slovenian drafted. Jan Drozg choosen by Pittsburgh with 28 pick in 5th round.
