Kashawn is our guy.

Guy is a DL culture changer/ Clifford type, top 4 guy.

Cool. Have not seen footage of him yet, but will find some. He came up 2 yrs ago for part of the season w the Barrie Colts, in Brandt Clark’s 61 pts in 31 games, so Clarke knows him.

Heard Kashawn is tough. Ranked between 16-22 on most lists. Kings need legit top 4 D in the prospect pool. Most all of D prospects looking like 4-6 types. Dvorak, Booth, Kirsanov, Salin, Woolley. Of course, possible for one to be a 3/4.

Yea, I love having Fiala over f***ing BROCK FABER.

And the Kings #1 20 OA pick. They took Liam Ohgren, who’s already playing on the Wild at age 20. Not sure who the Kings would have taken at 20, but there was some good talent there.

You can get away with those last 2 periods against the Sharks. You can't get away with that against the Oilers.

If you want to be political about it, they've gotten 10 points out of a possible 16 after a 7 game road trip to start the season with no Doughty, which all things considered isn't bad.

But there's a lot things to be concerned about. Special teams? Terrible. Only 1 line seems to be clicking. Faceoffs are consistently bad. Goaltending is suspect right now. Our up and coming defenseman is having growing pains.

Our future number 1 center is already back playing wing.

 

[No Name The Nameless]

Do you guys think Byfield scores a goal this year?

 

[GoldenBearHockey]

With potential offensive talent on this team, they should have scored 6 on this Sharks team! Special teams is a major problem.

Like Dallas and Colorado did....right?

Right?

Do you guys think Byfield scores a goal this year?

The answer is clearly no.

He;s not wrong, you don't take that penalty trying to get an empty netter

 

[Herby]

Hiller should take ownership for that mistake too.

When you are up 1 or 2 goals in the final couple minutes of a game there is zero reason to send Kevin Fiala onto the ice.

I don't hate Fiala as much as some people here do, he has an important role on this team, but that role does not involve being on the ice in the final minutes in defensive situations.

I have spent a lot of time gathering video among other projects, and fell behind on my shift-by-shift stuff.

I'll try to get something up by Monday if you don't find anything before then.

Yet, he made one of the best defensive plays of the game....kinda hard to figure out

 

[chris kontos]

we're the champions of california...

heh

 

[johnjm22]

In a way this game gives me hope.

We look so bad that the dream scenario is still in play; the team sucks and everyone gets fired. Plus we get a top 10 pick.

well said

Fiala needs to cut out the bad stock penalties that always seem to come at the exact worst time

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Yeah if I’m hiller and I need a defensive close out I’d definitely flipping Fiala for Turcotte

 

[Lt Dan]

How would you feel about filling in...... if ,in theory, we had this guy make you a Hiller skin suit?

 

[bland]

I am flipping Fiala for a top 4 LHD.

I spent yesterday afternoon checking for tickets to the game a couple of times hoping to score some cheap tickets in the PR level. I eventually forgot to check back after I got lunch around 4PM. I then proceeded to forget about this game entirely until I was going to bed around 11PM and just watched highlights.

This team is just good enough to avoid the bottom yet lacks the talent to get pass the first round let alone be considered a SC contender.. mediocrity at it’s finest

Said it last season and still feel the same way, it’s time to sell some of the older pieces and give the kids even more time..
Danault for picks, 1st is very much possible
Gavrikov for maybe a young G like S.Knight or a 1st
That alone lines up Kopitar, Byfield, Turcotte and later Helenius down the middle

2 but more likely 1 of Fiala, Moore and Kempe should be moved to clear cap and recoup assets.

but this is all just hopes and dreams
