I wouldn't hold out much hope of a guy who didn't make any of the lists for the top College FA's to even be much more than lint on the roster but there is always a chance. I think it's funny that they list him at 5'9 when he is a legit 5'7.

Then again, he outscored teammate and Mtl #1 pick, Ryan Poehling by 11 points. If Lizotte never makes it, nothing lost. The Reign need skill up front for sure.
True, it's an opportunity which basically has zero risk.
Awesome, hope they start sitting the vets (Carter and Forbort wink, wink) and play the kids more often

Low risk move.
Plus if he plays a game this season, he would be expansion draft eligible, so even if he doesn't do well, he would help meet the requirements of the number of players waived.

One reason he may not have been on any lists, despite a reportedly fairly good skill set is he is young, only a 21 year-old sophomore. Many may have assumed he would return for his junior year so they did not include him in this years list.

I wonder if the Kings guaranteed him a few NHL games right off the bat as a way to entice him to sign. As I recall Dean did the same thing with Piskula.

Good organizational depth signing. Definitely some turnover coming on the Reign, and the forward talent is depleted in ONT. Moulson moving on, Amadio with the big club, unknown if Maillet or Sutter are returning. Reign need center's desperately. Hopefully they can bring in Lukas Craggs also, a forward that plays with an edge.

Pearson died on Carters line. 0 goals 17 games (now has 8 in last 18 in Van)
Toffoli died on Carters line.
Leipsic died on Carters line (I think Carter has yet to thread him a nice pass)
Kovalchuk died on Carters line
Lizotte should possibly request to go straight to The Reign and take over a line, instead of having to debut on Carters line.

Not a bad college haul the last couple of years.
Hoping they have good camps next year.

Snoozed on? He’s been good. Middle six guy, small but doesn’t stop. He’s like a grittier Leipsic. He deserves playing time more than some of the vets, but we will see how effective he is when the score counts.

Not in the slightest, all the praise just hasn't been in this thread.
He's been one of the most noticeable players on the ice, no matter what line he is on, and he won his spot early in camp, it was wild.
