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

[GoldenBearHockey]

Yes cause no one picked him.

Ever wonder why if people on this board think hes a 30 goal scorer in the nhl, yet dozens upon dozens of scouts have passed....

 

[AlphaBravo]

Wow what a bummer. What a waste of the Muzzin trade. F**k character. We need goals. What the hell was Blake thinking. So stupid. Ruined my summer.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

THey're serious about 'remaking' the culture i guess here. Who's the guy with the highest character left on the board? We're probably trading up from 33 to land John Smith from TO who was a captain on his bantam team.

 

[SettlementRichie10]

The more they talk, the more i hate it.

Do we not have 100 of this ****ing guy in our system already?

Like is anyone questioning our ability to find bottom pairing d-men?

This x infinity.

We have three Bjornfots already in the system.

 

[Little Psycho]

Leadership don't mean shit if your team can't score

 

[KingsHockey24]

The guy scored 11 goals in 39 games, some of ya'll are being drama queens.

Guy is a good skater than can get shots through and is good in his own end with leader ship qualities.

 

[AlphaBravo]

Let’s pray Kaliev falls to the 2nd round. Only miracle left to salvage this disaster.

 

[deeshamrock]

That has "we took a forward at 5, we have to take a defenseman at 22" written all over it

steady and safe over skill.

And he's gonna regret it...

 

[kilowatt]

Left-handed defensemen in the Kings' system:

1. Alec Martinez
2. Derek Forbort
3. Daniel Brickley
4. Kurtis MacDermid
5. Kale Clague
6. Alex Lintuniemi
7. Jacob Moverare
8. Chaz Reddekopp
9. Mikey Anderson
10. Markus Phillips
11. Cole Hults

 

[KingsFan7824]

Glad we have a team full of character like Clifford, Forbort, and Bjornfot that cant F'n score. Kaliyev's 51 goals would have been amazing - a goal scorer we lack, character we do not!

Seems like we've been complaining about this for at least this entire season, if not the last few years, as the core that Lombardi inherited has no real character, and had to be surrounded by real men.

Leadership don't mean **** if your team can't score

They may lose, but god damnit, they're going to lose with 10 LHD on the roster and all the heart in the world

 

[ru4reals]

it was a ****ing pitcher bunt.

Worst a broken nose batting practice Scherzer!!!

 

[unicornpig]

Would live to read this thread on a few years

 

[SFKingshomer]

Both picks were safe...

 

[deeshamrock]

good pickup for the Preds

 

[GoldenBearHockey]

Damn another team passed....go figure

 

[Cochese]

Can’t wait to see this guy just fizzle away on the third pair in Ontario till his contract runs out.

 

[Steve Zissou]

Tomasino taken by Nashville no way he fell another 2-3 spots but I'm surprised all the D taken recently.

 

[Kingspiracy]

Compared to Ryan Mcdonagh, doesn't seem too bad for a late 1st.

 

[Little Psycho]

They may lose, but god damnit, they're going to lose with 10 LHD on the roster and all the heart in the world

HeArT oF gOlD but bottom of the barrel is our new identity

 

[ru4reals]

Great so now Nashville gets another goal scorer to thrash us over and over again.

 

[RocketKing]

“Thomasino drives the play with speed” I can’t imagine why a team whose GM says they need to add speed would want to pick him in the 1st round

 

[LAKings88]

Tomasino will be good. Guess LA didn’t need another speedy center.

 

[deaderhead28]

Both picks were safe...

5th pick was given.22 was bad.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Kinda glad we didn't win the lottery now. Blake would've picked Turcotte #1.
