[kingskring]

“@mayorNHL: Can confirm…

LA Kings protected Kopitar, Carter, Toffoli, Pearson, Doughty, Muzzin, Martinez, Forbort

#NHLExpansionDraftâ€

 

[LeProspector]

Long time coming for Forbert

 

[Little Psycho]

Can Vegas get Kempe?

 

[AriGoldd]

Can Vegas get Kempe?

No, he's exempt.

 

[Pandaman11]

Good. This is the right protection list, I was afraid our management would have some crazy idea.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Contrary to overwhelming negativity, Forbort is going to be a good one. Glad to see he's protected!

Dmen take longer, I always had faith. Gonna suck to lose Lewis though.

Some experts say McNabb.

But my prediction is Lewis too.

 

[LAKings88]

No surprise, pretty much what most felt would happen.

 

[Winger23]

Please let them take Mcnabb over Lewis...

 

[AlphaBravo]

If I was LV, I would take Dowd. The team is building for the future, and Dowd's potential is still untapped. Lewis is a reliable 3rd liner, but he is not going to be any better than he is now.

Not to mention that it keeps $ on OUR cap.

Yep.

Yep, also agree.

Dowd
Brown
McNabb

I think it's one of those three, in that order.

 

[LAKings88]

Lewis is the perfect bottom 6 energy guy.

Vegas will have enough dmen, gotta take some glue guys too.

Good contract with decent term too.

Dowd is 27, i dont really see the potential.

 

[SFKingshomer]

They are taking Brown with some compensation of course

 

[KingsFan7824]

Lewis. Born in Utah. Solid citizen as far as we know. Reasonable contract. Versatile. Probably a letter as soon as he gets a jersey. Really the perfect first year expansion team kind of player. That's the guy I'm taking if I'm the GM.

No, he's exempt.

Exempte. I can't be the first.

 

[Stimpythecat]

Lewis is a solid citizen bottom 6 guy on a decent contract. It would hurt to lose him.

Like most, I would prefer to lose McNabb.

 

[johnjm22]

Lewis has become incredibly overrated around here.

 

[Fishhead]

Glad they chose the obvious list.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Lewis has become incredibly overrated around here.

I somewhat agree. There are plenty of similar players out there; Moore, Winnik, Cizikas, Stajan, Helm, White, Eakin, etc. Won't be hard finding a replacement.

 

[Docgonzo]

Dowd is 27, i dont really see the potential.

Yeah I don't see much more potential that what we saw last season. Maybe one good/decent year like Leino or Lehtera then somebody will give a decent contract and then regret it.

 

[Steve Zissou]

I'm just here to see if Forbort was protected.
