He said he put on 10lbs of muscle prior the WJCs. And he's measuring closer to 6.04+from whats been said

Byfield has said he’s 6’4 3/4” and 225 (pretty sure, might have been 220) lbs... the ‘official height/weights on bio’s are rarely correct, especially for under 21’s.

edit: found it, he said 222 lbs.

@ 4:10 Quinton again made reference to him being able to adapt to playing up and down the lineup. While it was easy to see at first he was centering the 3rd line, it's even more evident that he was in a third line checking role during the World Juniors.

Would have been nice to see him up as a 2nd line center to generate more offense but you can't blame the kid for not lighting up the tournament with goals and assists in a third line checking role.

The Kings have assigned 14 players to the Ontario Reign (AHL) and will be available for them when their Training Camp begins.

• Daniel Brickley - D
• Aidan Dudas - C
• Sean Durzi - D
• Mikey Eyssimont - C
• Samuel Fagemo - LW
• Boko Imama - LW
• Jacob Ingham - G
• Rasmus Kupari - C
• Tyler Madden - C
• Jacob Moverare - D
• Markus Phillips - D
• Akil Thomas - C
• Matt Villalta - G

In addition, defenseman Cole Hults was activated and assigned to Ontario as well. The Kings now have 32 players left on their Training Camp Roster.

Once you notice how many times QB says "umm.. you know" in an interview you can't unhear it. Nearly every sentence starts with it

Same with Arty's left-to-right shoulder shrugs midway between a sentence... but hey, we're a band of misfits and outsiders here. Gotta love it.

Anyone think we make a waiver claim tomorrow? Some intriguing names on the wire.

doubtful as any waiver claim has to be on the main roster and not the taxi squad , kings sit at 4th behind DET OTT SJ .

I thought the same thing about Akil Thomas when I first heard him interviewed, but been listening to his podcast and he’s really gotten better. I’m sure QB will do the same.

I’d say he’s just nervous and will grow out of it but Doughty never did

 

[Johnny Utah]

Intrigued to know what players on waivers fans like?

 

[Axl Rhoadz]

Major suckage to have two of our 2nd-liners out for start of season....

While it does suck, I wonder if the Kings take this opportunity to give Kaliyev/Byfield a game or two of NHL action.

I hope so. I want to enjoy opening day.

Looks like he lives.

NICE!

That's good news! Have to believe that our missing 5 are in the "exposed to COVID" rather then the "contracted COVID" category of missing. This kind of thing is going to happen all the time. Hopefully our boys can stay healthy.

Hell yea this made my day!

Just saw a list of the 2021 odds for Norris Trophy -- it shows top 20 and Doughty is nowhere to be found. There has to be a major fire under DD's ass right now...I will be shocked if he doesn't have a great season.

Let's hope so, but I am definitely in the "show me" camp.
