Not bad, Montreal sucks but I'll still take it.

Hot Take: Englund > Edmundson > Jones > A Turd > Burroughs

Englund - Spence was a good pairing for half a season until Englund fell off big time. We would be in pretty good shape if Doughty wasn’t injured actually.

Anderson - Doughty
Gavrikov - Clarke
Englund - Spence

We’re missing a #1 defenseman and it’s really obvious

I only knew of him but this is a nice write up:

Oh crap. This is a real bummer, man.

Gann was probably one of THEE nicest individuals I've come across in LA Kings land. Always had a smile. Always was super down to earth. Felt like you already knew him even after only talking to him for the first time.

What a loss.

Foegele and Arvidsson pointless in 5 games each

Damn. And that's with a few games of 6 to 8 min TOI. He could have 5 or 6 points right now, with
more TOI and how close he's been to having more points. Looks good on PP too.
Would be insane if Turcotte and Laferriere can both top 40 pts this year.
They look great together. Foegele looked better tonight as well. Maybe this
line works and all 3 can gel.

Good. The Kings should be trading him soon.

Hot Take: Englund > Edmundson > Jones > A Turd > Burroughs

Lol the turd ahead of Burroughs.. Edmunson does have a slapshot thats about all he has over Englund that I can see so far. Englund was < Burroughs for 2nd half of last season - not to be forgotten
