GDT: Rookie Game: Kings vs. Coyotes - 9/16/14 - 6PM

I can't believe you are saying that after seeing him play against prospects. He would get eaten alive in the NHL

This. By the way, what was the final score? 2-1 Kings? Got distracted and wasn't really able to watch today.

Thank you.

I can't help but shake my head when, just because a player does well against a mix of juniors and minor pros, people suddenly think he will easily replace an established veteran.

Zykov deserves a roster spot.. I'd take him over Stoll, Lewis, King, and Nolan.

You meant Nick Shore....Shore is NHL ready. He won't spend much time in Manchester this coming season.

Kopitar
Richards
Shore
Stoll.

Perfect....

Shore is a friggin beast in the face-off, and already plays very good 200ft of ice.

For those who watch watched a lot of prospects games over the years...

How good does McKeown look? Obviously nowhere near Doughty at that age, but is he anywhere near Voynov (at that age) Martinez (at that age?)

I know because of the OHL agreements he can't, but in theory...is he good enough for Manchester?

I'll take your answers off the air

McKeown could use another year in Jr's, prone to mistakes due to lack of exp.

Kid's strength is his skating and puck handling. Smooth skater, strong on his skates. good hands for a defender.

Kid just needs more playing time, and fill out his body. A-Mart never really came alive till he hit the AHL. Slava was supremely talented at 18, he should have went in the first 15 selections of the 2008 draft.

So McKeown is in the middle if you ask me.

Could you imagine if the Kings had landed Doughty,Karlsson,Voynov all in 2008....Holy cow.

I can, in fact, imagine. Due to the salary cap, one of them would be gone.
