I always felt Kempe got a little side tracked when they had him play center too much. He was adjusting nicely on wing, so...
 
I like these moves if true. Heck...I'd call up Brodz too.

Pearson--Kopitar--Brodz
Kempe--Carter--Toffoli
Brown--Dowd--Gaborik
King--Shore--Lewis

Forbort--Doughty
Muzzin--LaDue
McNabb--Martinez

This season is going any where and we have a ton of home games to see what the kids got. Bring them all up.
 
Finally Kempe gets a shot, make it count kid. A bit surprised Brodzinski wasn't recalled instead...
 
If this is the case, I'm bummed for Brodzinski, but ecstatic for Kempe. Dude is probably better if you just want a shot of adrenaline, he'll bring feistiness/edge which we may need.
 
In the past, the Kings probably would have just brought up the d-man, even though Seto was just sent down. None of the Ontario forwards have played well enough to force their way on the team, none of them look truly ready.

So if this does happen, we could be seeing some more movement in philosophy like DL talked about at the beginning of the season.
 
Hope Kempe is in for Thursday since I just bought tickets to the Keith Sweat show at Nokia on Saturday.

It's just the Panthers...it will be okay to sell the tickets, I told myself. You won't miss anything...except maybe Kempe's debut.

Valentine's Day never ceases to be a pain in the ass.
 
Thought Brodzinski was going to get called up instead, but I'm really looking forward to seeing how Kempe performs in the NHL. As it has been said before many think his game is suited for the NHL rather than the AHL. One thing that is big issue for him is that he takes a lot of penalties
 
This is pretty unusual by Kings standards. Recalling a guy like Kempe who hasn't found his game in the AHL yet is sorta surprising. Maybe he just needs a kick in the ***?
