GDT: LA Kings 2013 NHL Draft

[ScoreZeGoals]

Are we done with trades?

For the day? Absolutely not. For the round? More than likely

 

[scryan]

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

Should be double that

The whole thing is ridiculous. I hope Luongo gets himself out of there...

Lets look into the future reaaaal quick.

I'm sure Dean will trade more of his picks though. As far as Kings players? I'm sure none will be traded today.

When you can't get through a one sentence speech without drooling, it's time to think about retiring.

I'm looking at you, Jim Gregory.

Is that who's calling the second round?

 

[Peter James Bond]

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.

True, Mersch had a stellar season and is coming on.

Pearson, Zykov, Mersch AND Kitsyn.

LW is now a future strength, actually.

Kitsyn is here and will be trainging here this Summer as well.
He will probably be a top 6 LW in Manch this year.

What was Zykov's ETA for the NHL?

 

[damacles1156]

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

Happy with Zykov

But Hagg is first round talent, play against Men already. Big, range, hits, excellent skater, very good first pass.

Very good Defensive player. Would have been nice to get one like him in the system.

Not a big deal, Zykov has all the tools the Kings like.

 

[Puck U]

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

This is how ...

So Updated ... Kings have 8 10 selections in the 2013 NHL Draft.

37. Valentin Zykov (from EDM. trade picks #57, #88 and #96)
57. Los Angeles Round 2
88. Los Angeles Round 3

103. Los Angeles (from Phx-CBJ-Phi. in Simon Gagne trade) Round 4
118. Los Angeles Round 4
146. Los Angeles (from Mtl. in Davis Drewiske trade) Round 5
148. Los Angeles Round 5
178. Los Angeles Round 6
191. Los Angeles (from Dal. for 7th round pick in 2012) Round 7
208. Los Angeles Round 7

What was Zykov's ETA for the NHL?

If he signs, since he just turned 18, I would imagine 3-5 years unless he turns out to be an elite talent. 36 picks ahead of him, so not likely elite, lets just hope he turns into a top 6 winger.

 

[damacles1156]

What was Zykov's ETA for the NHL?

He is 18, probably two , three years. The Kings are right up against the 50 player contract limit.

Zykov will be heading back to JR's.

Gave up our 57th, 88th, and 96th for the 37th.

 

[Roo Mad Bro]

Loved the Kings pick in Zykov.

Was hoping the Flyers would get him.

 

[Peter James Bond]

wasn't this Toffolis thing, that turned out okay

That's true. And if you watch the 2:46 clip of the interview above your post, he comes off as modest, but confident and kept saying at the end of the intervwiew, when asked about what he needs to improve, he said "I want to improve everything". Like 3 times. Once the Kings work on his development, he will improve everything. Awesome.

The Flyers did....sort of.

Flyers west!

 

[Bandit]

That kid Columbus just selected looks a hell of a lot like Jeff Carter...

Comes across as professional. Good sign.

 

[William H Bonney]

Good pick by Buffalo. Very raw but lots of upside. Hometown kid too.

 

[Rorschach]

Didn't I hear somewhere on HF that the Kings and Oilers won't trade with each other? I remember hearing that somewhere...

They got a new GM...

 

[Tadite]

The Canucks fanbase are just melting down. All the years of fans just hating on LU hyping the heck of Sch and its all gone to doom and darkness. Those fans are getting a hell of a lot of karma.

 

[Whiskeypete]

LA not likely to do anything, so i'm out. have fun kids. remember to point and laugh at the VAN fans as they lose their ****

 

[William H Bonney]

Clean it up, TSN. LA traded #57.

 

[King RAZZ]

I dare them to trade 57 for Muffin...

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

I bet we end-up back in the 3rd round
