Per Todd McLellan - Brendan Lemieux has cleared protocol, skated with the
@LAKings for the first time today. Won't play tonight, could play on Wednesday.
How do we like his development? He's a 21 yr old kid playing in Russia with a team high -23. Not certain what he's developing to be honest. With the amount of other Kings prospects playing well in North America, he's just a guy who was their 82 pick in 2018 similar to the guy they drafted with their 74th pick in 2015. Russian kid who will most likely spend his career in Russia.
Yup, totally missed on this story. Wasn’t the first time and won’t be the last.Mayor tweeting yesterday that he is hearing he is coming over to join the Reign.
Competition brings out the best in everyone! If Parik and Hrenak aren't ready for the AHL send them back home to the Czech Republic and Slovakia respectively and let them develop there for a year or two. Plus the Kings have Markkonen in Finland! Like I always say you can't have enough good young prospects at any position! And it can be used as a bargaining chip with Seattle in the Expansion draft tooBetter than Villalta? Personally don't think so. Better than Ingham? At the moment yes, but Ingham has higher potential. I can see them bringing in Hrenak, but then you suddenly got a long jam of goalies in Ontario and not enough ice time for everyone.
The Kings have Grosenick as a back up if Quick is dealt! And it may be Quicker who's asking for a new lease on Life. If it nets the Kings a decent return I pull the trigger in a heartbeatFor me it's Petersen, Quick and a cast of hopefuls that "might" turn out to be something. Nothing that can step in to be an effective NHL caliber goalie. If Quick is selected by Seattle and/or traded, they are going to have to acquire a solid back-up for Petersen. Which is why I don't think they move Quick in a trade (Unless Blake is really courted by someone willing to overpay). Just my thoughts.
Hrenak and St Cloud State down 1-0 with 2 minutes left in the period. Shots are 5 to 1 in favor of Mass. Brutal to watch so far.
2-0 now. As you said an ugly game.
Tough for ESPN too, they had a lot of blue blood hockey programs in this tournament with big followings and got these 2 squads in the finals.
Any update on Bulat coming over?
The Kings will dump nearly 10 contracts to be sure so signing Bulat Shafigullin won't be a problem! Same goes for David HrenakI'll be honest. I'm not really in a rush to see him right now. We are close to the limit on contracts (50) and I'd like to see the crew we have sort themselves out over the rest of this year and next.
I expect a lot of Kings will be moved and a bunch of Jobs available at the NHL level so restocking the "Farm" with youngsters is a good move especially ones with potential! Plus he plays the Wing and the Kings are sorely lacking scoring WingersMayor tweeting yesterday that he is hearing he is coming over to join the Reign.
Honestly keep forgetting about him.U20: Slovakia - Czech Republic: 5-2. Chromiak 1+2. Martin was really good. Showed great skating, created a lot of scoring opportunities for his teammates. I was surprised by his puck protection, used his body very well even though he is not the biggest guy.
