Value of: Olivier to LA

[Kingspiracy]

Whats the cost on Olivier to La?

I just watched the scrap of him tuning up Gabriel and thought that we could do with a bit of that in LA with Lemieux currently under the weather.

How much for this meany?

Like a 7th and a hearty laugh from the Predators for planning on playing him in the NHL.

Is he that much of a liabilty?

Why not just call up Doty?

Why not just call up Doty?

Doty does not have an NHL contract.

Why was Boko Imama added to that redundant Brayden Burke deal? I am not impressed with the job that their assistant GM is doing. The kings have way too many veteran finesse forwards signed to NHL contracts; why is that necessary with their incredible prospect pipeline? They don't have one legitimate heavyweight in that system that is currently signed on an NHL deal.

Did we still have MacDermid then, i cant remember.

We could do with another guy like Lemieux, someone that can play but also take care of business.

Ive not watched much of Olivier, but he is the right sort of size for the role (not too lumbering but big enough).

He seemed to handle Gabriel quite well (even though he's bigger and has nhl experience)

One scout report I read said he had a good netfront presence (which we lack) also had a scoring pedigree in the minors. Plus hes the right age.

Olivier was good for us the previous 2 seasons… well as 4th line guy who could forecheck, skate well enough, and of course fight if needed. Thought he’d be a decent # 12/13 guy for us for awhile.

No idea what happened to him this year he seems to suck even in the minors.

And guys like Turcotte keep getting run in the AHL. I know the new NHL is popular but you’d think Luc, Blake, Emerson, Murray and the rest of the developmental staff would realize the benefit of toughness in the lineup considering when they played. Seeley the Reign GM never shied away from the rough stuff either.
