I think Chabot is redundant if Clarke is on the team. He's not capable of being the leading defensive defenseman on his pair, and he never took the step everyone thought he would after he signed his big extension.

its mainly just RT, guy is a bonafide idiot. last year he was going on how he take comtois and zellweger over vilardi and clarke... that said i really hope we dont move spence."Spence is up to 35 points with Ontario in 42 games (3-32-35), seven shy of where he finished a year ago with 42 points in 46 games."
Cryote fans:
'We don't want Spence + 1st + pick/prospect for Chychrun. How dare you!? We deserve Clarke!"
* But I'm over here like... I don't think we should trade either for him.
* Sign a goalie and trade/sign a bigger LHD who can bang some bodies, drop the mitts if need be.

Reno Sucks!
that's part of it. But when he does draw-in, he doesn't give them a reason to want to put him out there again.

In yesterday's game, Bjornfot:
Was 3rd among defensemen for CF% Rel.
Was even for GF%.
Had the lowest expected GA for all defensemen
Was on the ice for only a single high danger chance against
He and Walker were great, they were on the ice for 8 shots for and 2 against.
He was one of our best defensemen at even strength, can't ask for much more than that from your 3rd pairing LD.

Yea I thought he looked good and is better than Edler. People were uptight about his penalty and wrote him off cause of one play. It was pretty borderline and they called it in a game management reffing situation.
Hard to fault a guy who doesnt play in the nhl for months at a time and has to adjust to the nhl speed perfectly. He had to stand guy a up at the blue line and he didnt get burned so thats the bright side. Just his timing on plays like that will get better with playing more.

Probably only looks at the stats on the main screen and doesn’t concern himself of the banners that hang or will hang there. That’s the only place you would see anything Kings-related at a Lakers game, right?

I love the smell of ice in the morning.
That newscaster should not touch an issue of Sports Illustrated. The ball, err puck, Brad Doty..Jesus.

Ha. I still remember that playoff series. I think every local news station in LA screwed up like that
At least she never pretended to know what she was talking about. LOL.
That DDT attempt by Doan was pretty bad though…

How could Blake have known?

I still don’t understand why this guy is given so much media attention for stuff that has nothing to do with basketball. Guys like Brady, Jordan, Trout, Mahomes, Kobe never were, I just don’t get it. The guy is clearly not a very intelligent person, and that is fine, he was blessed with alltime athletic ability to more than make up for it. But why is his opinion on world events, other sports, politics etc always magnified? I’ll never forget when ESPN had him call in the day of the Boston marathon bombing to get his opinions.
If they were worried about his offensive game improving they could have kept him in Sweden as an 18 year old instead of a year in the AHL and then the NHL at 19. It’s not surprising that his offensive game has never developed, yet another Kings prospect who's ceiling was damaged in the AHL.

Scouting Bjornfot as a draft eligible...he was a mid-sized relatively tough and quite competitive D with good mobility and first pass. Sturdy but not tall. Good awareness both ways (defensive and offensive) but it was quite clear even in junior that he didn't have significant NHL offensive upside. At his peak, some 30 pts seasons were conceivable as a projection, but it was clear he wasn't going to move the needle offensively. Still, he had good IQ, good first pass and mobility with the puck to skate it out as well. I felt his upside range was anywhere from #3-#5 D depending on how much of the offense he could squeeze out of that, but was leaning more towards a #4-#5. At the time I actually liked the Bjornfot pick unlike the Kupari pick. He also showed good intangibles in terms of stepping up in key moments, playing bigger than his size and all-around compete level. His hockey IQ always seemed better than his pure offensive production as well. Anyways that was in his draft year.
