Rumor: Los Angeles is interested in Prohorkin

[cyclones22]

Nice. Can't wait to see him in camp next season.

 

[LAKings88]

Awesome!

 

[teddygmr]

can he practice with the "Black Aces" during the remainder of these Playoffs?

 

[KBA4life]

He's dynamic, and by all accounts he's willing to get "dirty", and not just hang out on the perimeter dangling away aimlessly. I always look towards the future, even despite a massive game in a few hours. Trade hometown boy Richards++ for Evander Kane and let Prohorkin play with two defensively responsible wingers...roll with this next year:

Prohorkin-Kopitar-Gaborik
Pearson- Carter-Top Titty
Kane--Stoll--Brown
Clifford-Andreoff-Lewis

Muzzin-Doughty
Regehr-Voynov
McNabb-Martinez

Sexy!

What about Darth Raider?

Did you run out of face paint again?

So Williams, Richards & King out for Kane? I would guess Kane would be #1 LW

I have written a ton about Porkins and don't want to be seen as overhyping the kid. When I saw him play in person this winter overseas I said that he has come a long way and looks even better then he did before the draft and that is saying a bunch.

The kid has serious skill and would be a big asset to our team and a big part of its success within a season or two at the most. Kid can play and wants to be in LA. I think we will go out of our way to bring him back over once we can.

From a hockey prospects article from April 30


Top 3 drafted centers

Nikolai Prokhorkin, CSKA Moscow
Drafted in the fourth round, 121st overall, in 2012 by the Los Angeles Kings

Equally capable of playing center or wing, Prokhorkin had a spectacular season in the KHL, scoring 19 goals and 37 points in 52 regular season games. But more than the raw figure given by points, the most promising aspect of Prokhorkin’s season has been the fact that he could lead a good team like CSKA populated by many veteran players (including Alexander Radulov, Alexei Morozov, Igor Grigorenko, and many others) while also receiving consideration for the national team, where he was one of the last cuts from the 2014 World Championship squad. Prokhorkin has obviously progressed since his first taste of North American play with the Manchester Monarchs of the AHL, so it will be interesting to see how he will fare in his second attempt. Prokhorkin has declared more than once that he is interested in attempting to again compete for a spot in the NHL, but he still has one year left on his current contract with CSKA

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

Great news! I hope he has the patience and knows he's probably going to have to spend that season or two in Manchester, even if he was hot in the KHL.

 

[YP44]

Awesome!

That pic of your avatar I thought Nolan should be fez

 

[KingKopitar11*]

How fast can he make our line up?

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Fantastic news! Perhaps a new thread or update the title of this one?

That would be good. I just stole it, couldn't even tell you who made it.

Man everything is happening!!!!

Looks like training camp is going to be brutal.

As it should...

Moller and Prokhorkin back would be just awesome.

Hey, and it looks like Deslauriers' contract is one-way! I hope he works very hard on his scoring in the offseason. I'm pulling for him.

All that means is that the salary is the same if he is in the AHL vs the NHL. Doesn't mean anything about where he will play.

Good point, but I think Buffalo is in on the Connor McDavid tank sweepstakes.

ETA: just checked CNS' Twitter feed. DLo has to clear waivers this season so they are probably expecting him to stay with the big club.

Moller and Prokhorkin back would be just awesome.

So Moller claimed on waivers?

Smells and feels like Prokhorkin's agent is trying to use the Kings as leverage against CSKA, but that's pure speculation on my part.

Even if not, I'm not sure I like having him jump past the AHL. 8 games in Manchester isn't enough to be properly indoctrinated into Kings hockey. Bringing him onto the big club straight from the KHL seems like a very bad idea.

Someone please tell me there is nothing to worry about? TG?

He is not coming to the big club, his contract would be entry level. He would start his year in Manchester.

Let's get him signed first. The staff and players will dictate where he plays.
