JAD is JDub junior and I'm sure I'm gonna get his jersey at one point or another.



You know, I kind of agree with this. There's a lot of "HEY LOOK AT THIS GUY AN INTERESTING STORY oh and also he kind of plays hockey," his abilities get almost completely overlooked (but not by Spokane, they love him).

I like the mix of prospects we have . Everyone will have a role to play and we can create that winning culture again that won us two cups . But somethings gotta give . We will see some prospects moved and traded to get someone more elite offensively or maybe improve the defense . In 3 years you can realistically expect a lineup of

Kaliyev-Kopitar-Kupari
Kempe-Vilardi-Fagemo
Grundstrom-Turcotte-Brown
Wagner-JAD-Sodergran
Iaffalo,Thomas , Prokhorkin

Bjornfot-Doughty
Anderson-Clague
Martinez-Durzi
Forbort,Moverare

That 3rd mine might be one of the best 3rd lines ever iced in the cap era . This is how championships are won . Depth throughout nd skill throughout . Dependent obviously on if Vilardi heals up and reaches potential . I’m also very high on Fagemo I don’t think people realize he put up impressive numbers being 18 almost the entire year . His numbers are better than many top NHLers at the same age . Also Sodergran will become a fan favorite , he has skill and slick hands and has a little feistiness to his game . He would be perfect for the bottom 6 and with the way the NHL is going where teams are going to need two 3rd lines instead of a 4th line playing 8 mins a night and just bringing energy , we are looking pretty damn good for the future . Crazy what the drafting department has done in 3 years time .

All of this is dependent on players reaching even a little of their actual potential . Players are making their respective clubs before the ages of 21-22 because the NHL is becoming younger and players who would have played guaranteed in previous years are out of the NHL in their early 30s now . It’s not like before where people are going to say no their young they won’t make it bullshit. Look around the league !

If Kopi isn’t the 3rd line pivot in 3 years something failed along the way.

The Devils ****ing disgust me. Dominant team for what seemed like a thousand years. Last finals appearance was just 7 ****ing years ago. Lucks into Hall. Then lucks into two 1st overalls in three years.

Same thing for the **** heel Rangers. These fan bases don’t deserve to whine about anything.


And guess what, they may get the top pick next year, even with the addition this year! If Chicago can move up 12 spots, anything can happen.
 
And JAD is versatile! He'll play the wing or Centre wherever the Kings need him! I hope they don't rush him and let him learn the AHL then NHL! He's going to be a good player for us and a leader to boot!
