Andreoff... and running (to Manchester/Conditioning)

Obviously, the Kings see something in AA or they would have waived him to get back to Manchester. We all want these players to be NHL-ready the minute they come up from the minors or junior. Most often, that isn't the case and they need time. But during that time, we're all over them (e.g. "Muffin", McNabb, etc) with "bench him", "waive him", etc. And then when they develop on another team, we end up saying "why did DL get rid of him?"
Who knows AA might or might not develop into a strong 3rd or 4th liner, but I'll stick with Dean's decisions. Two Cups in 3 years - I never thought we'd see one in my lifetime.
 
I think the fear of losing a player to waivers is so great on the Kings that it's not really about who the best player at the moment is. It's about protecting assets.

This!

If fans had their way. We be a horrible team! No Quick, Martinez, Muzzin, King, McNabb.


That's what problem is on those fan run teams like Edmonton, Toronto and Philadelphia. No patience, no foresight. I'm sooo happy LA is not a major hockey market!
