#LAKings prospect update ... Both @JimmyDowder26 and @mikemersch25 are headed to Manchester.

Really excited to see Dowd play in the AHL. I have a handle on how I think M&M is going to play but Dude (duder, duderino if you not into that brevity thing) could be fun to watch now that he will be unleashed.

MAN is going to be stacked once Gravel signs and arrives. the wild card is Jonny B, hard to say from an outsider what may happen with him. if he signs and goes to MAN, then they really will be loaded up for the playoffs

The cup (Calder) is ours!

So they're both leaving without a college diploma?

Because college diplomas hold a lot of weight these days lol.

Especially in the NHL.

You can clearly see how someone like Doughty's been affected by not having his college degree.

Agreed, I think if he knew the value of Pi, he probably wouldn't have fell on that play that lead to a breakaway.

He ate the pi.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Hopefully Gravel is done soon as well.

It wasn't pi, it was Newtons laws of motion he should've known.
I'm sure he ate the Newtons too.

I thought they are both seniors? Gravel is too. Jonny B. is the only one that isnt. He's a sophmore.

In Doughty case, not knowing the value of "Pi" was a small factor or caused of that play. I believed the amount of "Pie" was the major factor for him to fell.

Oh, and the grease from his hair might have contribute to the slip and slide on ice as well.

They are, but doesn't the school year end in May? They're about 6 weeks shy, I would imagine. I wonder if they'll be able to finish their classes online, the way Alec Martinez is completing his accounting degree.

[Fat Elvis]

Signing JonnyB would make sense if SCS is graduating too much talent and needs to rebuild somewhat. If they're still going to have a strong program, I'd expect him to stay and take charge much like Gravel and Dowd did.

 

[Ban Hammered]

Dowd will be finishing his degree, two of his classes are online and he will make arrangements for his others (he's pre-med BTW and was the NCHC scholar athlete) You will have to wait for Brodz though, he's going nowhere and it is likely he stays all 4 years.

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

Thanks, Rabid Husky. It's good to know that they're thinking long-term. They seem like solid guys, leaders with a strong work ethic, and the Kings are lucky to have them.

Seconded. Gravel and Dowd are both expected to finish their coursework. Brodzinski has publicly and emphatically guaranteed that he'll be staying all four years.

 

[Ban Hammered]

Dowd a Hobey Hat Trick Finalist, which means he's a top 3 vote getter

I'm happy to see the kids signed and moving up the system. This type of thing is why we are going to continue being contenders. Just keep replenishing the system. I think if we keep doing this we won't have to go outside the system to replace players. That would also allow us to draft better as we will have all our picks. This draft id like to see a few rws and centers as i see that being set at d and lw for the forseeable future.
