KINGS player rankings

[kings11]

I think we've played enough games to get a decent feel for the roster and how they grade out so far this season. So here I go ..

A's
Kopitar... Has regained everything.
Brown... ^^^
Quick... ^^^
Lewis.. surprisingly, he's taking his game up a level
Doughty... still the best in my eyes
Gaborik... granted its only been 3 games but damn he looks rejuvenated... or on the INC list
B's
Kempe... he has arrived
Iafallo...^^^
Kuemper... has done his job as much as I and others poop on him
Shore... turning into a avg-above avg B6 center
C's
Toffoli... these guys need rot step to the hell up!
Pearson
Muzzin
Martinez
Forbort
Fantenberg
MacDermid
Incomplete
Carter... injury has helped some emerge but he is sorely missed
Clifford... was off to a fantastic start with Shore and Lewis pre-injury
Jokinen... has been a much welcomed addition to a struggling B6
Mitchell... waiting to see how he helps the club or not
Brodzinski... playing like a rookie
Andreoff... I'm just not sure what role he plays on this team with KC coming back
(Gaborik)... could be in the A column

Pearson and Toffoli have been inconsistent and maybe thats because JC is out but they need to do more
Hopefully the realignment of the D helps but Muzzin, Amart and Borts have disappointed for various reasons

Tough crowd when you're on a pace to score 33 goals and you get a "C" as in average.

[Raccoon Jesus]

A's
-Kopitar, Brown, Iafallo, Lewis, Doughty, Quick, Kuemper (one stinker, but very very good otherwise, we have one of the highest team sv% in the league if not the highest Edit: 2nd highest 5v5 sv% in league at .935!)

B's
- MacDermid (relative to expectation), Folin (uneven play, but solid), Kempe (slumped after starting hot, hopefully comes back around, last night looked very good with Gaborik), Toffoli (great from the blue line in, not so good everywhere else right now, looks slow), Jokinen (performed about as advertised, smart, versatile), Martinez (highest minutes per game of his career, playing all situations, very much our 2nd best d-man this year).

C's
Forbort, Shore, Pearson, Fantenberg (not sure why everyone's enamored with this guy, very sloppy with the puck under pressure), Muzzin (game has just left the building), Brodzinski (though I like what I've seen recently)

F's
-Dowd (looked better last night, but totally irresponsible with the puck in genera, bummer because he might have the best off-the-boards vision on the team), Andreoff (no more comment from me necessary)

Tough crowd when you're on a pace to score 33 goals and you get a "C" as in average.

pacing the team would look better if it was on top of a better all around game but Toffoli has disappeared far too often for a guy with that much talent. I think its pretty evident just how much impact/chemistry Carter had with TP/TT... But thats still no excuse for how they've played so far this season.

 

[lumbergh]

A's
Kopitar - reminds me of his 2014 playoff run
Brown - Vintage Brownie
Doughty - So good, you feel guilty getting to watch him
Kempe - Kempe is life
Quick - Best goalie in the league most nights
Kuemper - Fantastic backup so far

B's
Toffoli - Scoring goals, but needs to play with Carter or Kopi
Iafallo - Great complement, Justin Williams clone
Muzzin - Brought the offense early, hope he stays with Doughty
Martinez - Playing big minutes in all situations
Lewis - Doing what he does every night

C's
Forbort - meh.
Pearson - Need more than 4 goals from him
Folin - Good hitter, unspectacular otherwise
Fantenberg - Decent pickup,
MacDermid - Physically intimidating, but slow
(Cammalleri)

D's
Shore - Career 4th line center
Brodzinski - Trying hard, but always a step behind the play
Andreoff - Kudos for taking a punch
Dowd - Still not able to figure out the NHL game
Laich - Good story

The rest (Gaborik, Carter, Jokinen, Clifford, AHL call ups)
