Speculation: 2020-21 News/Rumors/Roster Thread Part III

[kovacro]

Did Byfield not make the team? he’s listed as a “non-roster forward” on cap friendly

Sent down.

What are you guys expecting points wise out of Iafallo this year? I know he had a great second half last season.

I would set the over/under somewhere at 30.5 points for this season.

50 points in an 82 game season equivalent is my expectation. He's been trending up in every category including shooting percentage, so the hope is that continues. Honestly, as long as his shooting percentage doesn't regress to below 10%, he should have a pretty good season.

Dwight King set the Kings WCF goal scoring record, he ripped Mike Smith to shreds

He also made Hank cry in 2014.

He is going to shatter Gretzky's records

I think many forget how well Dwight K and Lewis did in the 2012 run , especially D King against Phoenix

I doubt anyone is talking about anything involving the games from 2012-2014 when talking about the stars or role players. It's pretty much everything after June 13th, 2014, when everything went to crap. Friday, June 13th, 2014.

LW depth was pretty garbage for a lot of years. It wasn't surprising both King and Clifford ended up in the top 6 when they shouldn't have been.

IIRC King took Penner's spot with Richards and Carter because Penner was sucking

Mine as well. 20-25 goals, 50 points.

Watching a couple of those season-end games last night, kid was an absolute FORCE, not just Kopitar's puck bloodhound.

OFFICIAL: LA Kings 2021 Opening Night Roster and Taxi Squad

 

[Reaper45]

Gotta think Andersson is only on the taxi squad until Amadio starts to suck. Alt will go down or to the taxi squad when Big Mac comes back.

I know there are a LOT of people betting against Amadio and I think this is a make or break year for him, but it's really not hard to imagine a world in which this is the year he puts it together.

Gonna be weird seeing #13.

Insert Brent Gretzky joke here.

Especially since it will be like Mike Cammalleri sitting on Kyle Clifford's shoulders.

He looks great in #13. 42 such a weird number.

With Clague changing from 34, Kaliyev can have that number in LA!! He said on a podcast, that was the only number he has worn - I guess except for junior tourney

 

[cyclones22]

The Kings know what they have in Amadio and that is a 4th line center who will not be selected by Seattle. They need to know what they have in Andersson because if I'm not mistaken, he's expansion draft eligible. Gotta see if he's worth protecting.

 

[Reaper45]

I mean I can see it. He's got great vision out there it's just that everything else seems to be lacking. He's one of the more creative players on the PP when he's out there. Him putting it together finally would be a good thing for him and the Kings. If he flops again, it's probably Lias' turn.

Penner scoring two timely goals in the playoffs for the Kings was like a pitcher hitting a walk off home run. He was just a warm body otherwise really.

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

So what D pairings do you expect for the first game at least?

what seems to work in camp?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

He was a pretty good nuke too though. Absolutely blew a few dudes up, was always in the thick of things pissing people off, and no one could/would do anything about it. Remember him ripping some helmets off, yanking crombeen's jersey off the faceoff throwing him out of the play, etc.

 

[Eagle Fang]

So I hate to be that guy, but isn't it starting to get a little more concerning that Turcotte is out with another injury. I saw on LAKI that he's listed as week-to-week.
