Of course DL wouldn't do that and that's why Roberts is a hockey blogger on the internet, not even a real journalist , and not NHL front office material.
Citing Weal and ONeill as reasons the Kings would give up a true blue chip first round talent is ridiculous. Their success in the AHL is terrific, but it's not the NHL and it remains to be seen if either would be a top 6 player in the NHL. Neither are the elite player, the kind that can make an immediate impact as that #13 will be, hopefully a top winger, something they need. I also disagree with his argument that there isn't room in the current lineup for that #13 drafted. Last time I checked, there was a hole in the top 6 wing. They might not be in a position to draft this high next year, so unless they intend to move up higher, getting a better pick, you keep it.
