[Ziggy Stardust]

Quite the list of former King hopefuls who never made it.

Can't wait for a Lemieux-Lizotte-Wagner 4th line

But the top line had an excuse?

Moore-Byfield-Kupari would be a 4th line I'd like to see at some point.

 

[YP44]

You only do it once a day?

f*** who has time for more than that.

 

[steepdrop]

This implies I want to clean so I can watch whatever is going on during the intermission. Peeling paint on my bathroom walls is at times infinitely more entertaining than Fox and friends.

 

[steepdrop]

May I suggest " The View" comedy at its best but no Hockey

 

[cyclones22]

The organization has the ability to stock that fourth line with attackers rather than dump and chasers. With the top two lines having the ability to be shut down lines they really should leverage Gabe's line and whoever is centering the fourth line to put pressure on the opposition. Let's see if this is all talk or not.

It's been asked before why the Kings don't just roll 4 scoring lines like the TBL, and toss grinders out the window. I ask you, is this the year?

Maroon and Goodrow aren't grinders? I'm sure there's more.

And on d Schenn and Cernak. Our most penalized player besides MacD was Mikey Anderson with 30pims. He’d have been tied for 8th on TB with Sergachev . Yeah they’re talented but they will also hold their own. Our stars do not and will not.

Yea I know it wasn't exactly true, but I remember when some around pined how all 4 Tampa lines could score, and ours were filled with a bunch of character guys. Right now is as close as it's come in recent memory to 4 lines of non-angry players.

Like Reaper said, I think it's more of a mindset thing. Outside of Lemieux, I think Kempe, Vilardi, Andersson, and Roy have pissy sides that need to come out.

Weird but seems like we've had 4 lines of this for the past 5 years to me. I'm not going to lie I feel kinda nauseous looking at our current roster of forwards. If kopi slows down and Vilardi don't step up it's gonna be another loooong year for us.

Well, last year it was dump and watchers.

Or take a dump and wipers

Lots of Dump talk in here these days. Season needs to start.

Kings need a scoring line first, let alone four of them.

 

[AlphaBravo]

This team desperately needs one or two forwards to break through and be legit scorers. The last time we had snipers was Gaborik and Carter several years ago. Prior to that Ziggy. I am hoping Kaliyev can be that guy because scoring has been a problem for this organization for a very long time.

 

[BringTheReign]

Moore-Byfield-Kupari would be a 4th line I'd like to see at some point.

That'd be awesome to see. Kupari is a great forechecker and has a well-rounded game similar to Moore. They're also three players who can all player center and have done so at various levels which is a nice bonus for faceoffs and general defensive responsibility.

I think the only issue is what they do on nights where Lemieux needs to slot in. We don't want Kupari or Byfield sitting (AHL would be better than that), and Moore has earned a regular spot in the lineup IMO.

When are Scott Barney, Jeff Shevalier, and Donald McLean hitting waivers?

They cleared last week, alongside Andrei Shefer, Konstantin Pushkarev and Jens Karlsson
