Kings needs currently.
Top 6, preferably, top line wing.
Top 15 goalie
D should stabilize with Doughty back.

King's need couple years down the road
Top line center (Kopi replacement)
D, second pair
Goalie

The goalie should sort itself out once the team is good. Scrivens & Jones looked great when King's won the Jennings.

D
Mikey, Clarke
???, ???
Edmundson, Spence

Doughty may re-sign, may chance cups. (37 in a couple years)
Mikey, Edmundson signed to term.
Gavrikov may resign. He may be too pricey.

Center is hard, not enough good centers. Tank, draft, develop for 3 years isn't a viable plan. Need to figure out how to snag the best center possible with few assets. Offer sheet?

Jeannot: lacks jump in his game. Don't see reason to ice him over Lee. Philly is about the only team that might trade for him.

Wingers take a back seat behind Center and D as far as I'm concerned. No matter his development woes, I have a feeling Byfield takes Kopi's spot at C once he retires. There's really no one else in the pipeline that can go there, unless they luck out at free agency or a trade (not happening with Blucgevin as GM). I don't picture Turcotte even being in the league at that point, dude is one concussion away from retirement. Its too bad they didn't try to land O'Reilly when he was a free agent, though I doubt Blake could've even swung that.
