Prospect Info: 5th Overall Pick, Alex Turcotte, C, USNTDP UPDATED: Signs 3 Year ELC 3/11/20

[King'sPawn]

Tied with the team lead in points, too.

 

[BringTheReign]

Does anyone know why Turcotte hasn't played all of Wisconsin's games? Is it just that he's a freshman and needs to wait his turn, or is he dealing with an injury/still learning the system?

Had a respiratory illness that was going around the team this past week

Roger, thanks for the info.

 

[regulate]

And he was back with the team today, after his illness.

Patrice Bergeron 2.0

 

[ru4reals]

Patrice Bergeron 2.0

My goodness that would be freakin awesome if we get a Bergeron clone. Would help this team immensely in the rebuilding process.

 

[DigitalBoldy]

Had a goal yesterday and just scored another today on a 2-on-1. Used Caufield as a decoy and hit the top corner.

 

[King'sPawn]

Has 2 goals tonight

 

[Peter James Bond II]

Has 2 goals tonight

That won't work on the Kings. Not part of the system. If he scores 2 in a game on the Kings, TM will have a teaching moment about other options Turcotte had, instead of putting the
puck in the net...

Goal from Friday night:


First goal from last night:

Second goal from last night:

So, uh, this kid is gonna be pretty good.

 

[FrozenKing18]

Can't wait for Turcotte-Vilardi centering our 1st and 2nd line. Really hoping Vilardi gets healthy. Excited for the future of this team.

 

[Mats26]

I can't imagine picking first or second next draft just because we are always screwed one way or another by this ridiculous draft lottery but:

Byfield - Vilardi - Turcotte

Our potential top 3 centers, if only the hockey gods were Kings fans.

Odds woul dbe that "IF" we landed Byfield both Vilardi and Turcotte would move to the wings..

Think of a future lineup with;

Kaliyev-Kopitar-Vilardi ... Throwing AK out there since he's our best LW prospect, Kopi and Gabe could be magical
Turcotte-Byfield-Brown... "IF" we land Byfield, he and Turcotte would be a nightmare!

After the two cups, it appears the hockey gods have decided that Kings fans are not allowed to have nice things.

It's going to be okay once the overpaid vets have their contracts expire, but it's going to get worse before it gets better.

If were gonna suck, suck hard.

Aren’t we already there?

That's the Kings I want to see! Although Brown just turned 35 and don't think he will still be top 6.
Kupari or Fagemo can be possibilities at RW. Fagemo is underrated and can sure score goals.
Turcotte excels at center and maybe Byfield woud be the winger.

Watch us actually land Alexis LaFreniere... This f***en page would exploded for various reasons...

Don't think LaFreniere would drop to 5

More like we actually/finally get the 1OA
