GDT: 2019 Draft Discussion: LA Kings pick 5th, 22nd overall 8 p.m. ET (NBCSN, SN, TVAS)

[Bandit]

Because all the small skilled teams got smacked around in the playoffs this year whereas the heavy physical teams advanced to the finals. Everyone’s always trying to follow trends.

At any rate, Caufield is no Gadreau, so I’m not surprised he’s dropping.

And Gadreau is a useless puss in the playoffs, so... yeah not surprised at all.

Blake get off your butt

 

[Reaper45]

Midgets get smaller.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

And I bet Newhook goes next

 

[ibleedkings]

Ugh I wanted Caufield

 

[kingsholygrail]

The smurfs grab the smurf. No surprise.

 

[LAKings88]

Congrats Cole!

 

[Mats26]

Steal

 

[kingsboy11]

Glad Caulfield got taken. Best goal scorer in the draft. Really glad that we never have to play against him on a consistent basis

 

[Telos]

Well, there he goes. To get checked, clobbered, and heckled by the crowds in Montreal. LoL.

 

[Herby]

If Caufield had fallen to the Avs and hit it would have been a disaster for the Western Conf.

No one the Avs are going to take here has the ceiling.

 

[CanadianKingsFan14]

Harley could also be available when we pick at 22.

 

[AmadiosAmigos]

Caulfied is a Montreal pick for sure.... smallest team in the league. Will never win

 

[LAKings88]

Avs-Krebs
Vegas-Newhook

???

 

[kilowatt]

Really bummed the Kings couldn't trade down and take him. We haven't had a goal scorer like Caufield... ever.

 

[funky]

Caufield gone

Probably Newhook to Colorado at 16


still out there

Harley
Krebs
Kaliyev
Tomasino
Heinola

 

[kovacro]

Even Trevor Timmins is short.

 

[AmadiosAmigos]

Really bummed the Kings couldn't trade down and take him. We haven't had a goal scorer like Caufield... ever.

Nope... we never had a midget goal scorer.... but we've had 6'0-6'4" goal scorers at the same rate!!

 

[Reaper45]

Really bummed the Kings couldn't trade down and take him. We haven't had a goal scorer like Caufield... ever.

What? Palffy, Robitaille, Carson, Dionne...

Some kid who's never set foot on NHL ice is better than Palffy & Robitaille? interesting

 

[dman3474]

Krebs/Newhook/Kaliyev would nice

 

[Scottkmlps]

Blake get off your butt

Why? Lots of solid players still on the board so no need to waste other picks just to move up a couple spots.

 

[Peter James Bond II]

LEFT ON THE BOARD:::

Krebs
Kaliyev
Tomasino
Harley
Suzkuki
Brink
Hoglander
Laviole
Robertson
Heinola

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

The Avs are going to be scary

 

[Cook24]

I’m fine with another forward if we can get vlasic at 33
