Rumor: Los Angeles is interested in Prohorkin

[KHenry14]

Not necessarily, some of them take some time, like Panarin.

Then again, for each of those guys there's a guy like Plotnikov.

Panarin was 24 when he came to the Hawks and immediately scores 30 goals. No way Prokhorkin will ever grow enough in the KHL to do anything close to that. I'd love it if he did, but I'm a glass is half empty guy with regards to this guy...

I think once Prohorkin's contract in the KHL expires, he will be an UFA. The Kings lose his rights in 2019 I believe.

Look who plays with Porkins..... and, as a defensman, has better stats (+9) than their teammate, Voynov.....

Please tell me you're not actually upset about a KHL 3rd-pairing defenseman simply because we drafted him and he's had a good start over there at age 31.

God, seriously. This thread won’t die. I feel like I’ve been hearing about this guy for a decade.

Every time I see this thread pop up too, I feel like there's good news awaiting, but its just him doing good.

1) How on earth would you know (or presume to know?) which pairing Hersley plays on?

2) Yes. I'm upset over any prospect that we draft and then give up too quickly upon.....especially if that prospect is a right-shooting defenseman with size. He's a late-bloomer, and our scouting and development staff should have recognized that fact and treated him accordingly. That's what those guys get paid to do.

LOL, what? Hersley given up on too early? We're talking about a guy drafted in 2005 and hasn't played in North America since 2008. Also, he was dealt to Philadelphia back in 2008 for Denis Gauthier.

Anyone being incensed by the loss of Hersley is showing their lack of rationality and common sense. Given the source of the outrage, should we be surprised?

By minutes played/game, Hersley was the 6th, borderline 7th, d-man last year. By hits, he was lowest amongst regular d-men, with the next guy doubling him up. By points, he was 6th. Etc. Before that, he was doing next to nothing, save one 33-pt campaign, I guess.

I'm glad he's having a hot start, but at some point, you have to ask yourself why he left North America a decade ago and hasn't been brought back by ANY team. The guy showed nothing at the AHL level, and finally started scoring at the ECHL level, then left. Maybe a comparable guy is when we brought over Chris Lee for a PTO and he didn't even stick. This is a whole hell of a lot of hand-wringing over a 5th round pick that never demonstrated anything here. In fact, there's nothing really to demonstrate he's not just soaking up points on a superteam.

Why were you not upset about this for the entire last decade? He couldn't even crack our AHL roster and at some point you have to cut bait. Scouting and development can't save everyone.

Think Basilik is still upset over the failure to sign Matt Zultek, Jusitn Papineau, Jens Karlsson, and Dave Steckel?

 

[SlimCharles]

We will never be the same without Oscar Moller.

 

[Reaper45]

We will never be the same without Oscar Moller.

We still haven't recovered from the loss of Jaroslav Bednar.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I'm telling you guys, Tomas Vlasak never got a fair shake!

 

[kingsholygrail]

Brust or bust!

I'm just glad he moved on from Kitsyn. No sarcasm.

 

[AmadiosAmigos]

I think this is the year John Seymour makes his mark

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

His unfounded hype for Kitsyn was quite bizarre.

His unfounded hype for Kitsyn was quite bizarre.

But he scores ze goals.

 

[KINGS17]

Why didn't Prohorkin sign with the Kings?

We'll never know.

You don't think the Kings can sign Prohorkin?

They can try, but they won't. Prohorkin is KGB/KHL. Prohorkin's gone. There is no Prohorkin.

I think that ship has sailed. A couple of years ago, Prokhorkin was putting up great numbers, but lately not so much anymore.


Kubalik is the one I would be looking at. Speed, size, a great wrister and just 22.

Some interesting info in the Kubalik thread for you!
