Prospect Info: NHL Entry Draft thread: LA Kings select Quinton Byfield 2nd Overall (Part 3)

[kilowatt]

With five picks left, the Kings are guaranteed one of Paterka, Wallinder, Gunler, Grans, Poirier, Mysak, Kleven, or O'Rourke. I would love for the Kings to reach up and grab Peterka, but if we end up with one of Wallinder, Grans, Poirier, or Kleven, that would be awesome.

That's one happy family

 

[kovacro]

I was thinking Ozzy was going in the 2nd round. I think I did a mock where I had the Kings taking him with their second choice in round two.

Looking forward to tomorrow.

 

[Cook24]

Lame

 

[Steve Zissou]

Holy crap what a celebration by family of Ozzy's fam. So good.

 

[Steve Zissou]

I'm bummed we didn't finalize a trade up, but I think there are still some gems in the early 2nd round that have dropped.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Any tough players left for the Kings to draft?

 

[Matt13]

All the feels with the SJS pick.

 

[kingsboy11]

Really wanted to get Perrault once we started to see him drop, but there's still some quality players left on the board. Looking forward to tomorrow!

 

[kovacro]

Any tough players left for the Kings to draft?

Will Cuylle - Windsor Spitfires.

Could go in the latter part of the 2nd round. Tenacious, physical and can put the puck in the net.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Any tough players left for the Kings to draft?

I hope not. I'd rather focus on guys who can play and invite the knuckleheads as tryouts.

 

[Steve Zissou]

Still on the draft board...

Ryan O'Rourke, D
Lukas Reichel, LW
John-Jason Peterka, LW
William Wallinder, D
Noel Gunler, RW
Jan Mysak, LW
Sam Colangelo, RW
Thomas Bordeleau, C
Roni Hirvonen, C
Eemil Viro, D
Eamon Powell, D

 

[Jungle Boy]

Chicago got Reichel

 

[Docgonzo]

Hopefully we can trade our 2 lower picks for a high 2nd and pick up 2 of those. I can dream.

Reichel was drafted.

I'm hoping for Peterka, Wallinder, Grans, Mysak, Klevens, Poirier, in that order.

They likely have a shot at two of the bunch listed above even if they stand pat. Their second of three picks in the round is in the early 40’s.

Reichel was drafted.

I'm hoping for Peterka, Wallinder, Grans, Mysak, Klevens, Poirier, in that order.

I’m going to continue to bang the drum for Evangelista. Keep him in mind ladies and gents.

 

[kovacro]

The dreaded double post.

 

[LAKings88]

I miss Yannic.
First half of the season 1997-98 Yannic was one of my favorite kings ever.

That Tysplakov, Perrault , Murray line was so deadly

Damn, that was like the worst era of kings hockey for me.

 

[kilowatt]

I’m going to continue to bang the drum for Evangelista. Keep him in mind ladies and gents.

I think he might fall to 51. Paterka definitely won't.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Grans pls

 

[Lt Dan]

Damn, that was like the worst era of kings hockey for me.

1997-98 was a magical year. It was the eye of the hurricane for a horrible era
It was largely because it was a down year for most of the Pacific but that team had so much heart . Luc was back. Stumpel was at his best , Matt Johnson was a total psycho , Blake was finally healthy and scored like 25 goals and won the Norris and remember Fiset was a great regular season goalie and that he was much much better before that injury the next season.

And then everything went to back to hell the next season. And it got even worse with Donald Audette and Duschene's god awful return to LA

 

[jfont]

I’d love to see the Kings sneak back into the 1st round and nab Paterka or Mysak.

They're both still available

 

[KingsOfCali25]

1) Peterka
2) Mysak
3) Grans
4) Gunler
5) Wallinder

This would be my hopes for 35. We should get at least one.

I think Detroit will pick Wallinder as they need LHD and love their Swedish players. Ottawa should take Peterka to pair up with Stutzle. San Jose is the wildcard but I think they will take Mysak to pair other Czech star Hertl.
