@funky Remember, Madden is only 21. A lot can change in a year.

Kaprizov is 24, Kubalik is already 25 now. These kids came into the league and had success right away, but they had 3-4 more years of development time outside of the NHL in comparison to player like Madden.

Same goes for Byfield and the rest of our prospects. They just need time to develop.

How has Turcotte been this year overall? Haven't been able to catch many games.

so-so. nothing spectacular and has been banged up a bit. Some folks on the board wish he would have stayed another year in college, but this was NOT a normal "year", both college or AHL, so it's hard to say. I think he is going to be a solid top-6 player, maybe not the game changer folks are hoping for. We'll see, he is very young still.

He is much better than he gets credit for, esp with the Reign. He does a lot of things that do not show in stats--he is high energy, drives play, takes hits, dogs the puck defensively and on forecheck. He was compared to Jonathan Toews at draft time and that is why, plus his leadership ability. He will be even better in the NHL with more skilled players.

Just needs to bulk up, get stronger and avoid the injury bug.

Turcotte is a glue guy that LA needs. Doubt he puts up a ton of points and he’ll drop in draft redos but I think he will factor in wins in ways that the stat sheet won’t pick up.

The next two off-seasons will be huge if young Turcotte! He could a second centre or a terrific 3rd line Centre who plays the 200 foot game with Speed,defensive awareness and creativity! Haven't had one of those around ever I believe

You mention he "takes hits". Does he also "give hits"?
 
Can someone remind me the rules around Kaliyev next year. I believe he is old enough to play AHL?
There is no need for him to see the OHL again.

Is this the same for Chromiak or will his age make him go back to Jrs for another year?

thanks

Correct no more OHL for Kaliyev - AHL or NHL

Chromiak is either OHL or NHL (so he’ll be back in juniors next year assuredly).

Great start against the Gulls tonight. Looks like a greatly improved Reign team from the last time I saw them 6 games ago. Playing w/ great structure and no odd man rushes against in the first 15 mins.

Kaliyev with a goal and a couple apples. I was hoping the kings would’ve called him up and put them on the line with byfield for a few games. Probably best that they left him down to round out his game. He sure has improved the last half of the season.

Most improved from beginning of the year- Reign whipping boys Durzi and Vallhalta. Both looking solid. Sadly the biggest regression has to go to Clague. He looks like a hot mess with a bad turnover and some jr level defending leading to 2 goals.

How did Chromiak look out there? Did he get much playing time?
 
Jeez I saw they were up 5-1 to start the 3rd and they end up winning 7-4. They've definitely improved over the year, but man they sure do make these games interesting :laugh:
