[Peter James Bond II]

Is Vilardi done??

No one knows. I am hopeful, but no one knows.

Is Vilardi done??

Don’t think so, but he’s an unknown asset at this time. If his back heals, he could be thx real deal. If not, then we can’t count on him

The kind of a goal you could expect him to score. He's a beast in front of the net. Hopefully he can stick with the team and they'll give him a shot for net-front role on 2PP unit.

Not sure if Kings fans saw this. This is what Mike Futa said about Gundstrom and the trade.

“He’ll start in Ontario with our American League team,” Futa said when giving his assessment of the 21-year-old Umea native. “The Swedish players are such honest, honest players and he’s a guy we see as a bottom-six, honest hockey player that’s going to play in the National Hockey League. He’s going to produce. He plays a hard, heavy game but he’s got some speed, he’s got some character, he’s got some familiarity with [countryman] Adrian Kempe.

“We had done our homework on him. We liked him in his draft year.”

4th goal for Grundstrom since the call up. I think its safe to say the Kings scouts made a good call on him. Looking very much like a NHL hockey player, his most skilled goal to date. Top shelf snipe.

If Leipsic isn't here next year, it'll be because guys like Grundstrom push him out.
