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

[KingsFan7824]

Kempe, Amadio, Kopitar, Moore, Iafallo, Athanasiou, Brown, Frk, Vilardi, Carter, Lizotte, Wagner, Andersson, Grundstrom. There's 14, and not even sure they need a taxi squad.

 

[Stimpythecat]

min 4 on taxi squad is required. they will travel and practice on the road.

 

[Reaper45]

Our defense is thin as tissue paper.

Yes it is. Imagine multiple injuries/Covid absences where Alt and Brickley end up playing significant games. *Shudders*

Late Christmas present for myself.

Interesting...

Let's help them...
JAD, Kupari, Clague + #1 2021.
Probably not enough. The 2021 #1 is gold....but if the Kings had Dubois, the Kings may be a playoff team and that won't be a lottery pick.
I was horrified when I heard Nick Nickson say on a podcast yesterday "The Kings do not have a player under 30, that has ever scored 20 goals in a season" Barf.
Dubois is 22 and has had 2 and would have had 3, if not for the shortened season.
#1 top 10 picks are no guarantee. Period. Dubois is 22 and a budding star.

 

[The Tikkanen]

If the purpose of this season is to secure another top3 pick, play really bad hockey and save AEG money then Blake has done his job

Grundstrom - Andersson - Fagemo

I like that.

 

[Telos]

The Kings earned the top spot for ESPN's Prospect Pools Rankings:

Ranking all 31 NHL prospect pipelines: Kings leapfrog Rangers for No. 1 spot

No team has stockpiled prospects in as great a number as the Kings. And adding a crown jewel in 2020 No. 2 overall pick Quinton Byfield took a great system and turned it into the class of the league.

A 22 year old budding star is going to cost more than that. Certainly Turcotte or Byfield. Vilardi. Something like that. You're not getting a former 3rd overall pick, who has produced, for a couple 2nd round picks, who have yet to produce, a former 20th pick coming off an injury, who hasn't produced, and a who knows where it lands 1st rd pick.

 

[KingsFan7824]

Berube to the Reign would mean that Grosenick is pretty much locked into the taxi squad.

 

[kings11]

Grundstrom - Andersson - Fagemo

I like that.

Especially in Ontario

 

[deeshamrock]

I wonder who they are targeting

2021 draft is weak too. I'd do this in a heartbeat without even thinking twice. Blue Jackets laugh as soon as Blake offers the package then hangs up on him. Kings want Dubois start with Vilardi or Turcotte plus. But I'd love PLD on this team.

 

[riznat]

He already signed an extension

He already signed an extension

Haha...LeBrun whiffs on that one. LOL.

 

[TruKingFan]

Where's Athanasiou?

 

[Maynard]

Can’t believe there’s a training camp going on. I hope Drew didn’t let himself go.

 

[Schrute farms]

I wonder who they are targeting

I'm both surprised and happy to read this information.

 

[Steve Zissou]

 

[DAkings20]

Where's Athanasiou?

Blake said he still has to finish his quarantine before he can join practice.

 

[Steve Zissou]

Where's Athanasiou?

He's been benched already.












Quarantin'ing.
