Kemell falling so far is interesting. If he keeps dropping, I wonder if we can send our 2nd and a prospect to grab him?

Edit: Welp, neeeevermind, Nashville takes him 😂

Still on the board and #19 is up....Ok, if the Kings had #19, who would your pick be?

Yurov
Lambert
Gaucher
Miroshnichenko
Reid Schaefer
Isaac Howard
Snuggerud
Kulich
Pickering
Ohgren
Hutson
Firkus
Mesar
Chesley
Del Bel Belluz

Mine would be: KULICH

closely followed by Lambert, Schaefer, Pickering, Ohgren, Howard.

Jiri Kulich, C, Karlovy Vary (CZREP)

Apr. 14, 2004 | 5′ 11.5″ | 172 pounds | Shoots left

Tier: Projected middle of the lineup player

Skating: NHL average
Puck skills: NHL average
Hockey sense: NHL average
Compete: Above NHL average
Shot: Above NHL average

Player comparable: Ross Colton

Background: Kulich got a regular shift vs. pros in Czechia this season with power-play time. He captained their U18 team and made their world junior team in a notable role. He led the U18 world championships in goals and was named MVP of the tournament.

Analysis: Kulich is a well-rounded prospect. He has a fluid, powerful skating stride that can generate clean entries and beat defenders wide. He has slick 1v1 skills and combined with his speed is a threat off the rush. He can make plays but is more of a threat when he’s in motion than picking apart defenses as a playmaker. Kulich has a great shot, showing a one-timer and wrist shot threat from range. Kulich doesn’t show fear from attacking the net or taking a hit to make a play. He projects as a top nine forward, whether at wing or center with the potential to play higher in a lineup.

I like Del Bel Belluz near the end of the 1st. Liked what I saw from him with Mississauga this year. Didn’t show as much when I saw him against Hamilton in the playoffs but the Dogs were a dominant team this year.
 
What a steal for Washington at 20. Miroshnichenko is so good, but there are a lot of question marks with Russians if you don't have Alex Ovechkin on your team.

He had health concerns with respect to battling through Hodgskins Lymphoma. Believe he has a clean bill if health so it’s great to see. Hope he turns out!

Black Hawks have 38 and 39. I wonder if the Kings could send them 51 and 85 to get #39?
If the Kings like someone at 39 and feel they would be gone at 51.
Or, 51 and next years #2 pick? (if they really like a player at 39)
Does Madden have a future here? #85 and Madden for #39.
Of course, that would be considered bad asset management, giving up on Madden,
that was a part of the Toffoli deal.
 
Gaucher is a sneaky good pick imo

He wont be the sexy name under all those Ducks high fliers but he's gonna be a monster grinder with some upside

You know your old when you remember Dave Snuggerud Think he was a member of the crazy 8’s line in Philly with Lindros and Recchi.

Good pick Blues.
