We're having a player on All The Kings Men this week.

I'm not telling you who but this is your chance to ask a question to a current roster player about this years Kings team.

Same rules apply... you can make your question some snarky attempt to show how clever you are while insulting the team or the coaches but I'll obviously ignore that question and quietly judge you for the rest our lives.

OR you could ask a question that might actually bring some insight... or you can go the @Lt Dan route and ask why chicken nuggets taste better when delivered in the shape of dinosaurs. I may ask those questions.

OK... *deep inhale*

have at it?

Jesse,

If it's a player that's been on the team a bit, be interesting to get their take on if they feel this team is different than the past 2-3 versions, beyond the obvious (new player, new coach) and what if anything was tweaked organization wise to help develop what we are seeing on the ice etc.

Beyond that, I would love to know what the coaches are telling them in regards to shooting the goddamn puck, knowing every situation is different, it seems default is to pass instead of shoot, and please for god sake reverse that...lol

Generally I usually like to defer to everyone else here, as I can ask Hoven in his interviews. But just for some ideas/inspiration:
- which player do you think will or should be a coach after retirement? A GM?
- beyond players wearing letters, how do you determine who inspires or leads you in the lockerroom?
- how much do you independently practice individual skills during the regular season versus the offseason? Which individual skills are you working on?
- how does Hiller's messaging differ from other coaches, if at all?
- how much do you like the 11-7 versus 12-6? Do you like the redistribution of minutes or prefer having consistency of teammates on the ice?
- what does Trevor Lewis' 1000 games played mean to you?
- fast forward and suppose the Kings make the playoffs. You can pick your opponent for the first round. Would you rather play Edmonton again or do you want to play someone else?
- World Juniors concluded this week. Do you still follow it?
- Do you keep correspondence with any Kings prospects? Any former Kings players?

What are your 3 favorite things about playing in Los Angeles?
During the offseason, which exercises/drills do you feel benefit you the most as a hockey player (i.e. various skating/shooting/stickhandling drills, squats, lunges, etc.)?
What do you like the most about Coach Hiller that differs from prior head coaches?

I think probably a very insightful comment for us fans that we never really get to hear much about is how they’re liking this new system of 1-2-2 and if there’s any talks about expanding the system even more to allow for more offense.

Also it’d be cool to know if there was any talks about changing the system during the Oilers series when it became evident that 1-3-1 was not working

I think the average fan who played hockey doesn't understand why handedness can be important, especially for board/corner plays. What reads does a player have to make or things do they have to keep in mind when playing their offside?

I think this is going to be with Trevor Lewis so more questions...

As a Utahtonian do you believe that the Utah hockey club owes you royalties for laying the yellow brick road for hockey there?

Who in the Kings or-gan-eye-zation do you think had the biggest positive effect on your career ?

Do you remember game 613?

Who do you think, other than Kopitar, was the most skilled player that you played with?

What did you miss mist about LA (other than the weather) when you played elsewhere?

Did you ever watch the TV show "St Elsewhere "?

What are your post NHL hopes and dreams? Coaching? A working beet farm like Dwight Schrute?

Have you and Trevor Moore ever thought about having a Highlander style battle, because there can be only one...Trevor

Whose gear smells the worst?

Who’s the worst teammate to sit next to on a plane and why?

Anyone on the team willing to admit that they watched Wicked and loved it SO much?

Who has the smallest feet on the team?

Biggest diva on the team?

What’s their guilty pleasure music?? Like…what song do they bump loud in their car but then when they get to a stoplight they turn it down because they don’t want people to know they’re listening to the Wicked soundtrack probably?

Why is it mandatory for the players to wear beanies on the plane whenever the temperature drops below 75 degrees? Are the beanies issued to them or do they bring their own?

Which player on the team just really needs to just shut the f*** up sometimes?

As a BMW owner, I do now use my signals. Recently discovered the new feature!
