Prospect Info: 2024 Kings Development Camp

[King'sPawn]

Ziemmer is reminding me a bit of Simmonds and Clifford. Both made the NHL full time straight out of junior. Clifford in his draft year, Simmonds in his D+1 year.

Similar build and junior stats to those guys. All picked outside the 1st round. All physically mature for their age. Zeimmer did have the injury set back though.

This kid gives the Kings EXACTLY what they want; right shot gritty physical winger with some upside.

I'm not saying it's gonna happen, but it wouldn't shock me if it did. Personally I haven't watched him play enough to have an educated opinion on the matter.

At the risk of sounding pedantic, what do you mean by similar build? Simmonds, while feisty, was 170 lbs. Did you mean by sheer playstyle?

Re: Clifford. One of my favorite stories of Lombardi is when he called Clifford "his little psycho" at dev camp. Lombardi certainly had players he genuinely loved for what they brought.

Its has been downhill fast since Bergevin came in. Seems like the stupidest moves lately, Bergevin has been connected to that player in the past.

I remember when he was hired thinking "how much damage can he do in an advisor role." Turns out he could do a lot of damage...more than expected.

It's crazy that I miss Tim Leiweke, at least he paid attention to the Kings and he would have cleaned house at seasons end

Luc is the cause of this BS
