I kind of like how Bergevin gives no f***s…sorry…

Bergevin looks like he threw on a suit right after panhandling.

 

[Master Yoda]

I guess Bergevin didn't get the memo

 

[Docgonzo]

nolan allan? seems like a reach

Seems like it, 11 points in 81 whl games.

He’s Sam Consentino. Does tremendous work covering junior hockey for Sportsnet. Very astute.

I’ve been impressed with how much he can rattle off the top of his head about these kids, especially when you consider how hard following them all has been this past year. Respect.

 

[eleventy]

lmao Maillox with the reverse uno

He seems like a less creepy Pierre

 

[lumbergh]

Cool down Jack Hughes. Jeebus.

He’s fantastic. Love listening and/or reading his work.

 

[ru4reals]

Montreal yikes.

 

[kovacro]

Reinhart to Florida? He’s one i wouldn’t of minded if Blake landed.

 

[bland]

In all seriousness, the lack of excitement with picking a defenseman at 8, is because if there is any gratification to be had, it’s a minimum of 3 years away. If things go the way they normally do with the Kings, the story with this type of pick will be about all the things he needs to do in order to earn the coaches trust. Is it wrong to want the Kings to draft the best remaining dynamic player with their first rounder?

They did.

Clarke is an offensive machine, a play driver from the point and in transition. This isn't a five tooler, this is a dynamic weapon that will run a NHL power play. Unbelievable value at #8.

 

[DoktorJeep]

Brown was injured

He played for a month after the trade deadline and didn’t shut it down until their were five games remaining. He was obviously used for the Kings sad push for the playoffs. Why not another team?

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

I'm just absolutely dumbfounded by what Montreal just did.

 

[DoktorJeep]

So when do we see him on the Kings since you seem so confident?

[ScoreZeGoals]

Nah, Montreal can f*** off

 

[eleventy]

Sure. The message: do bad r**** shit, get drafted R1.

 

[KINGS17]

At least all of the NHL teams respected Kris Jenner's decision to renounce her draft status 10 or so years ago.

 

[kovacro]

So Edmonton had a chance to nab Wallstedt and they traded the pick to Minny? What an organization.

Guess they have faith in one of Konovalov, Rodrigue or Skinner to step up.

 

[kingskring]

Also. The fact that they released the Statement that quickly means that they were planning on drafting him for a while. And this was not a sudden change of plans for Them.

and that’s not a good look for them or the NHL

given the fact that something like that (or any Statement by a corporation or team) goes thru layers of vetting and reviews (by their legal department and such.
)

 

[Reclamation Project]

Bergevin looks like he threw on a suit right after panhandling.

Last time I saw him he looked like The Riddler…

 

[lumbergh]

Last time I saw him he looked like The Riddler…

He’s the most interesting GM in hockey, maybe not in a good way.

 

[Steve Zissou]

This line makes me want to do naughty things....

Huberdeau Barkov Reinhart


Meanwhile, Jack Eichel...
