Hey Kings Fans, Haven't been able to watch much of the Kings pre season Games. How does the line up look this year. Which young prospect looks to make the line up.

My best guess is
Lafferiere- Kopitar- Kempe
Fiala – Byfield – Foegele
Jeannot– Danault – Moore
Turcotte – Thomas – Fagemo/Lewis
Extra- Lewis/Fagemo



The defense is harder to pair with Doughty out but Alphabetically
Anderson
Burroughs
Clarke
Edmundson
Gavrikov
Spence
Extra- Jones

Kuemper
Rittich

I think you’re about right with that. I think Burroughs will start 5/5 with Anderson and the 3 pairs play roughly equal time at even strength. Clarke will take the pp1 minutes with Spence and Burroughs eating the right hand side PK minutes.

I think that’s enough to stay competitive and will really give Clarke an opportunity to do his thing offensively. It’ll be interesting for sure.

Laferriere-Kopitar-Kempe
Foegle-Byfield-Fiala
Jeannot-Danault-Moore
Lewis-Turcotte-Thomas
Helenius, Fagemo

Gavrikov-Spence
Edmundson-Clarke
Anderson-Burroughs
Englund

Kuemper
Rittich

Only real battles are going to be determined by the decision to keep 7 or 8 defensemen. 8 d seemed logical before Doughty got hurt, but they won't be able to limit the minutes for Clarke now, so maybe that plan goes out the window and they roll with 7 defensemen until Doughty is back around December.

Helenius deserves the look in my opinion, so one of Fagemo or Moverare gets waived based on their preference for the extra forward or defender. I also think Studnicka i a dark horse to make the team.

think so huh?
Let me rephrase. Eventually, Englund will get waived or traded.

They did give Englund an A during the pre-season.

I had Burroughs and Englund BOTH as extras earlier this summer and Fagemo as the extra forward.

Now, with DD's injury and a lack of RHD, things have changed. Jones seems like he might a look now as the 7th D, so where does that leave Englund? The 8th D again...

BLAND - Kings won't keep Helenius as a extra - he will either make the team as the 4C OR be in Ontario.

I'm sure that Jesse can chime in, but if you listen to all the Yannetti interviews this summer and speaking with him during the rookie camp, he thinks Helenius will be the 4C next year. Helenius is my fav prospect, might get a look this year, but don't see him being a full time NHL'er until next season.

The mixed lineups of likely starters and potential prospects Hiller has utilized have looked good.

Turcotte looks like a lock. They like Akil, Fagemo has goal score potential and I thought he looked ok. Others didn't agree.

I would waive Moverare, especially over Fagemo, who is most likely gone if waived.

I don’t understand why Laferriere is on line one but I guess that’s why they all get paid the big bucks.

I’d like to see:

Turcotte - Kopitar - Kempe
Fiala - Byfield - Foegele
Moore - Danault - Laferriere
Jeannot - Helenius - Thomas
Lewis, Fagemo

Anderson - Clarke
Gavrikov - Spence
Edmundson - Burroughs
Englund

Kuemper

Let the rumors begin...
A certain site says Kings talking with Wash, Bos and Pit about top 4 defensemen.
Has Drew had his surgery yet? I wonder if it's looking like more than 2+ months.
I would just leave the team as is and see how the D settles, as well as the team.

Does not make sense to try to get a defenseman and pay asset(s). Especially if Burroughs is capable
and any defenseman acquired may not make a difference, if a key forward is dealt. Drew's offense cannot be replaced and would let Clarke and Spence have some liberties to be more offensive. The Kings are pretty thin everywhere, honestly.

Too bad the defensive prospect depth is lacking top 4 types. System: Kirsanov, Woolley, Dvorak, Booth, Salin, Mania. I hope LHD Kirsanov and Salin sign in the spring. RHD Salin is killing it, with 4 goals, 5 assists, 9 pts in his first 9 Liiga games with TPS. He's apparently taken a step, offensively.
2025 draft class looking pretty solid and would preferably draft a high end D. LHD but RHD okay. It takes 2-4 yrs to make it anyway and will need both LHD and RHD. I don't see Mania getting a contract...he was uber meh at camp and not so good in scrimmages.

It's gonna be another year of the bottom pairing getting pinata'ed but this time Spence wont' be there to save the day

Burroughs is gonna set the record for most minuses in two consecutive years, guy is terrible, and if him AND Englund end up on the roster...

As hilarious as the org's lack of self-awareness is, it's no surprise to hear rumors of them exploring options.

What’s the alternative? I feel like we’re riding Kopitar into the sunset. I can’t see us trading him, can you? And as long as he and Doughty are on the roster we will be trying to win another cup. So we are competing until they retire basically.

The 4C thing seemed to start when Bernstein speculated about it on KOTP. It was purely him spit balling. Then all of a sudden it’s become a ‘thing’.

Edit: I completely misread your post as 4c instead of top 4 defenceman. :laugh: I don’t see it though, we have depth and don’t have the assets to acquire someone that won’t remotely replace DD.

If they can figure out a way to add Wash defenseman Roy and his Cap hit, I'd take a gander.

Jones and Lee make the roster, and Kaliyev goes on LTIR makes lots of sense.

Kings site doesn’t list Lee on the roster but does list Studnicka.
It also lists Taylor Ward who was placed on waivers yesterday because he'd been skating in a red no contact jersey separate from the other groups for a few days.

And Moverare who was already assigned to Ontario


The roster doesn't exist until Day 1 of the regular season. Until then it's all just training camp. I have no idea how the info on the roster page on the main site is populated but I wouldn't put any stock in what it's displaying.
