Sabourin is going to get a contract, that much is plain. The Kings have plenty of contract slots open, do they not?
What strikes me the most about from what I've seen from Sabourin is his confidence. I've only seen him at a couple practices and in the Ducks game, but he seems to really believe in himself. That's half the battle when trying to break into the NHL.

How does Mark Morris play Sabourin 2nd ,3 rd or 4 th line ? I`m not putting 1st line as I believe that Toffoli, Vey, and possibly Pearson might return, not because there not ready for the Show, only because the Kings have a lot of experienced veterans, we all know how much Sutter loves his Vets.Forbort will be returned to Manchester also IMHO.

believe they are near the limit on open contract slots, but i'm sure if the Kings are impressed, they will get it done,

They were at 44 before Cliché got claimed, so that would bring them to 43 of 50 (although technically MacDermid, doesn't count so I guess it's 42...) Trouble is there are guys like Brodzinski, Hyka, Lowry, Mersch, Prokhorkin, Ebert, Gravel, LaDue, Bartosak that can sign contracts after this year. So there are plenty of guys coming up soon that may be part of the equation.
Isn't there a pretty small window that teams can sign draft eligible players? Like only a couple of days around the end of camp and start of the regular season. That could be part of the silence as well. I vaguely remember MacDermid being in camp awhile, being sent back to Owen Sound and then the deal being announced.

I think you are right. I heard about it as a matter of fact thing last weekend so I just assumed that it had either been announced or would have been by now. Maybe I am premature.

Scott Sabourin signs a 3 year entry level deal today.
So let it be written so let it be done
.I knew we were going to sign him but Tigermask had the timing right. He went down and then we announced his deal.
Great signing and a solid kid.

Yes, but he'd better his chances if he were bigger and stronger. The guy's got 2 inches on Clifford and weighs about the same. He should be closer to Nolan's weight, but it's not an nhl killer if he didn't.
I know what you mean, he's effective the way he is though, if it's not broken why fix it. He did great the way he is.
I have watched and admired Simmonds, Clifford and Nolan over the years but I think Sabourin has had a better rookie camp than any above.
He had 3 fights, won them all. Had a goal, had a few breakways, had some big hits.

Its A Kingspiracy !
From what I've read, he's really impressed a lot of people and deserved the contract. The guy has to be pretty stoked now. Can he play left wing?
Hopefully he works on his game and improves enough to be a contributing middleweight with some skills other than fighting. Good signing.

I don't think he will replace Nolan. I see Nolan being a King for a long time. I think Sabourin will be a perfect 3rd line RW.
