GDT: LA Kings 2013 NHL Draft

[DryIslandBartender]

Stoked.

Zykov and Pearson manning the left side for the foreseeable future.

 

[KBA4life]

Good pick

 

[Fishhead]

Really happy with this trade. I thought he would be taken at the end of the first round. Another 2nd round Lombardi coup?

 

[Reaper45]

Listed as a RW in some places. Comparable to Michael Ryder.

 

[Whiskeypete]

and the BH's get a bit weaker down the middle. they need to either do something in FA, or they will be relying on prospects to play C

 

[Papa Mocha 15]

Congrats Bollard. Score the goal that wins it, and you get moved a day later.

 

[Jonteeh]

And there goes Hägg..

 

[William H Bonney]

Two raw prospects with a lot of untapped potential should go soon - Jimmy Lodge and Justin Bailey.

 

[Dave33]

Who is Alexander Frolov?

I just hope this kid isn't in love with wraparounds.

Skating concerns seem to be the easiest to overcome. The write ups, combined with LeBrun's tweet, have me pretty happy. Hopefully the Kings just worked some more 2nd rd magic.

 

[William H Bonney]

Devils just got a great player. Defensive d-man is physical with a good outlet pass. No offensive upside though.

 

[damacles1156]

I would have loved Hagg, but the Zykov kid has got great size and hands.

Perfect Lombardi player.

 

[Peter James Bond]

Zykov also had a good playoffs. 19 points in 19 playoff games. 10 goals 9 assists. So, he scored 50 goals this year. Just turned 18 in May.

I really don't understand why you all were so in love with Hagg. Much happier with Zykov rather than Hagg.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

I wonder if Martinez gets moved for a 3rd

 

[Vamos Rafa]

I just keep refreshing this thread to see if there's any trade that involves us.

 

[Papa Mocha 15]

Schneider trade to NJ is up to 29 pages on the Canucks board... WOW

 

[Whiskeypete]

dont forget that LA still will have Mersch coming in a few years at LW also. the depth is building, but it's the lack of current production there that is troubling.

 

[HeadInjury]

I wonder if Martinez gets moved for a 3rd

I was just wondering if that would happen as well.

It's a fun read

 

[damacles1156]

You can't replace guys like Dave Bolland, Great trade for Toronto.

We could have drafted Jones with that pick and people would complain...

I wonder if Martinez gets moved for a 3rd

God please no. That's rough.

I think the bigger thing was top 6 potential. Zykov has it. Mersch to me is a 3rd liner.

 

[King RAZZ]

I wrote Zykov off...even though he was my first choice (thought he would go 20-30)...

 

[KingKopitar11*]

Are we done with trades?

 

[Vamos Rafa]

How did we get the 37th pick again? I'm sorry...
