Turcotte! Great pick.

 

[Mats26]

yesss

 

[Telos]

I can’t believe we got Turcotte!

 

[LAKings88]

***** yeah.

 

[Herby]

Well I'll for sure be going to some of games in Madison this winter to see Turcotte.

Two years in college and this kid will be ready to step into the lineup for the 2021 playoffs.

 

[RocketKing]

OK but if this has any linger hip problems then both Blake and Luc need to be fired

 

[TopT]

we are very lucky

 

[KingsCourt]

Sweeet

 

[kings11]

YES!!!!!!!!!!

 

[CanadianKingsFan14]

Welcome to LA Alex Turcotte!!! What a great pick.

 

[Choralone]

I thought we had the least-likely chance of landing him between him, Byram, and Dach. Can't complain.

 

[riznat]

Nice hair, best in the draft

 

[Legionnaire]

Nice. Welcome to LA Alex!

 

[ZJames]

Vilardi 2.0? Wonderful, more injured prospects.

 

[kovacro]

Hope the kid turns out to be a good one.

Sportsnet comparable is Patrice Bergeron.

“Very high compete level. Plays a strong 200’ game. Very creative and fearless, gets into the dirty areas” Sportsnet panel.

 

[funky]

man, i am liking this pick. High compete, high skill level, fearless, goes to high traffic areas they say............we need that in a bad way

 

[kings11]

Well I'll for sure be going to some of games in Madison this winter to see Turcotte.

Two years in college and this kid will be ready to step into the lineup for the 2021 playoffs.

He'll be more than ready after one season in College....

 

[BKarchitect]

Avs fan...thrilled with Byram but you guys got a stud. Ryan O’Reilly 2.0.

 

[KINGS17]

Like the fire in this kid's belly.

 

[SettlementRichie10]

Kopitar-Vilardi-Turcotte is just filthy if Vilardi can ever get healthy.

Hopefully Turcotte doesn’t injury bust, too. If he does we may as well stop watching Kings games for the next five years.

 

[Little Psycho]

Brad Marchand type. Alright alright alright. Love that his dad said he's the Bergeron type lol

 

[lumbergh]

I hope they checked him out thoroughly, but man that's exciting. Turcotte's gonna be a good one.

 

[CanadianKingsFan14]

He was only injured at the beginning of the year and it wasn't that serious of an injury, so people need to relax with injuries regarding Turcotte. He is the best 2 way forward in the draft, provides offense and is a great skater.

 

[LAKings88]

Exactly what they need. Develop him right boys.
