Roster Talk: News, Theories, Lineups, Rumors Etc. New Season Cometh!

Yeah, but many years from now, like "I've fallen and can't get up", "where's the beef?", and "headon, apply directly to the forehead", "use promotional code any damn word in the English language" will never be forgotten.

And don't forget about Phil Swift, Vince from Shamwow and Billy Mays!!

Classics, man. Classics.



As for valuing Kopi, I'd like to be a fly on the wall during negotiations.

Completely off-topic - but **** them and Fan Duel. I am so sick of being inundated with their commercials.

Use promotional offer SUICIDE BY COMMERCIAL and we'll match your initial deposit...

I really don't care if it's considered gambling or not - a person can spend their money as irresponsibly as they wish in my book, but give me a freaking break on the commercials.

Have you been to Staples Center lately?Now you can "fantasy draft" [cough cough weekly wager] right on site.

 

[Trolfoli]

Per the Rein insider:

Adrian Kempe, on his move to center:
It was good I think, I’ve played center before and think I’m a pretty good center. I like to come low with my speed and carry the puck through the neutral zone. It was bit weird in the beginning … but I think I got into it.

Forbort got sent down?

 

[Reclamation Project]

Unfortunately.

 

[KingsFan7824]

Games on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for the Reign. The Kings are on a winning streak with the d-men they have, and play 1 game this weekend. Forbort hasn't played in a while. Makes sense to send him down the street to play a few games.

 

[cali101]

did people see this piece on bottom 6 forwards? andreoff, ugh. shore's been good defensively but very meh on offense.

[damacles1156]

Forbort needs to play, more games in the AHL ruined no one.

Yes, this was the whole point of moving the AHL team to Ontario.

while this situation is a little different, id argue this statement is false. lots of players ruined due to staying down too long same as coming up too early.

AA notched a goal tonight, so good for him. But until this point he's been pretty forgettable, and I think the article correctly projects him to the box once King heals.

Shore, at the moment, is at worst a lateral replacement for either of Richards or Stoll, at a fraction of the cost. So I'm happy enough. I'd guess that he'll be a bottom 6 mainstay for the Kings for a while, and if the offense develops then excellent.

Forbort has nothing left to learn in the AHL leaving him there is indeed a waste. Sooner or later the Kings are going to need him to play 3rd pairing minutes unless DL empties the farm for another top 4. Ehrhoff isn't going to last and Greene is done.

when King gets back I say shore will be heading to ontario. The choice of who goes off the roster comes down to andy weal and Shore The only one of the 3 that can go down without waivers is shore So Andy is going no where imo

I agree that forbort needs to play However i would wait till Greene plays healthy to determine hes done. I know he 'll get a chance for sure.

Fair enough but a Greene that is back to where he was last year just isn't good enough.

I can agree with this as well. Greene will get the chance to show it one way or another

that was a quick trip down and up!

 

[KopitarFAN]

that was a quick trip down and up!

Plan was just to send him down to play a couple games.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Plan was just to send him down to play a couple games.

Plus there's no way the team would travel with only six defensemen, especially given Ehrhoff's questionable status.

 

[cali101]

yes, the injuries made it quicker too.

 

[Omni Owl]

Apparently the Kings are pursuing a young right handed Russian kid named Zaitsev, anyone seen him play or know anything about his game?

Apparently the Kings are pursuing a young right handed Russian kid named Zaitsev, anyone seen him play or know anything about his game?

He went undrafted in 2010 and the Flyers tried to sign him in 2013 but he turned them down because he didn't want to play in the AHL, only the NHL. AT the time they offered him that contract, one of the local media wrote that he was a good two-way defenseman with above-average puck moving skills as well as an accurate shot from the point. He's played at the World Juniors and World Championships and Hextall hinted last spring when the Flyers season ended, that Zaitsev was on their radar again.

He's 24 yrs old, and will be a free agent next year. Yesterday , according to :

http://www.mynhltraderumors.com/201...s-avs-jackets-hurricanes-leafs-and-predators/

Damien Cox of Sportsnet:

Russian Nikita Zaitsev will be coming to the NHL next year and is a free agent. Teams that are going to watch him in a tournament this week – Flyers, Maple Leafs, Canucks, Kings and Flames. More teams will be interested.

some stats and such here.
