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

I lost my shit over Martinez, the idea of Brown in another jersey is a nightmare

Yeah no doubt!!! Tell me about it.

 

[LAKings88]

Kings took Brown in the draft the day after I got married. Helps me remember my anniversary lol.

 

[Stimpythecat]

I unfortunately don't have any Brown stories.

 

[Stimpythecat]

Given Turcotte's recent injury, would it be better to ease him back on the wing instead of at center?

 

[YP44]

I may be the only one who feels Brown, Kopi, Drew and Quickie should be lifelong Kings. I will Cry like a baby if and when these four are traded.

Not sure why I have never felt the attachment level to Quick that I do the other guys. I route for him, want his number retired, and want him the hall. However if the Penquins or another competitive team need a goalie I am ok with him moving on.

When buying my stadium series Jersey last year I got Martinez even though he was about to be moved. I needed a jazz hands jersey, and the 2 & 7 look cool in that font.

Quick question; does Matthew Dumba fit a need? LA seems to be jammed with centers, Minnesota could move a defenseman.

Right shot defensemen are just as strong as our center depth.

Doughty
Roy
Walker

Grans
Faber

 

[Stimpythecat]

also Durzi.

Just me on a personal level would not want this guy on my favorite team.

 

[KingTech]

What are you guys missing?

A elite left defenseman and a elite goalie prospect

 

[Maynard]

What are you guys missing?

Will you help me find my real family?

I think because it's been clear as day that the dude straight up cares. Remember in 2014 in the 1st round series against SJ...? Quickie and the team was getting lit up like a Christmas tree in the 1st (3) games but he still was there to make sure the rest of the team would rebound, and holy shit did they!?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

What are you guys missing?

Brodin!

But prospect wise high end LHDs are the biggest concern

 

[Statto]

I don’t think this has been posted... Wrobo’s comments on Kupari are encouraging... other guys are covered so article is worth a read.

I'm right there with you.

 

[KingsOfCali25]

What are you guys missing?

A blue chip LHD and highly skilled goal scoring wingers that can create (aka Kaprizov).

 

[Steve Zissou]

(regarding Kupari...)

"I think that there’s signs of it, but there’s still an opportunity to last night where he got into open ice in the second period and sort of slowed down and then took a snapshot from the outside when I would’ve really like to see him trying to power the defenseman wide and if he couldn’t get to the post make a quick turn and look for delay move there. All in all, he played about 17 minutes, I would say. We don’t have clocks in the exhibition game for time on ice, but I think he played about 17 minutes powerplay, penalty kill, and I thought he was tremendous.

He made a lot of things happen and for me, it’s a learning process. I have an idea what his game is but I don’t know the ins and outs. He knows his game better than I do right now and it’s a mutual adventure where we’re gonna both have to figure each other out a little bit and I’ll help him and, ultimately, he’s the player. He’s got to go out and make the decisions how he plays. We’ll just try to help him along and blend in this power game with his finesse game."

I'm liking Wrobo and the thought process behind him helping these kids' games get to where they need to be.

 

[YP44]

I was very big on Kupari before the world juniors. Hope he does not get lost in the shuffle.

[Fat Elvis]

And to think LA drafted him AFTER drafting the amazing Matt "6'6" Schmalz and the rugged Chaz "don't call me Chuck" Reddekopp.

The scout who pushed for Roy earned his paycheck and a new watch.

 

[Lt Dan]

Roy has been a monster this year. Our coaching is really a big org strength

 

[tny760]

interesting how quietly he does it too

some guys get the "good defenseman" rep by making big plays, he just plays good tight D where nothing even has a chance to develop

I am always of the opinion that the less you notice a D man the better he is.
