Who's Scuderi even going to play with? Can't play with Schenn. Martinez? But then that leaves McNabb with Schenn.

Makes no sense. Scuds is here to play for the kings. If anyone may be heading to EDM, it'll be someone like McNabb.

I think (hope) he's just insurance:
Muzzin-Doughty
McNabb-TRADE
Martinez-Schenn

Scuderi-McBain
Perhaps Forbort/Gravel to be part of a package moved for RD?

Yeah, because Schenn-McNabb getting caught on the ice in the playoffs vs Ducks/Blackhawks sounds great...

Heh... no. He's a slight upgrade over Ehrhoff, and a big upgrade in the hockey smarts department... he knows how to take a 5 minute major to win a Cup. Every army needs a couple of criminals.

Maybe adding Scuderi back permits Doughty to do what he does best when he no longer has to babysit for Brayden McNabb?
If Scuderi can play around 17 or so minutes of dependable hockey with Drew, he'll be doing his job.
Scuderi-Doughty
Muzzin-Schenn
McNabb-Martinez
That gives every pairing a puck rusher and a stay-at-home guy. In certain even strength situations, I'm sure Doughty will see shifts with other partners as well, mostly Muzzin. You know Doughty will be getting his 25-30+ minutes. Muzzin will be logging up to 25 or so minutes. Martinez and Schenn will be hitting about 20 minutes, and Scuderi and McNabb will be seeing 17 or less minutes.
McBain drops back down to being a 7th guy, and who knows, maybe Dean is still in the hunt for another big minute eating defenseman?

but he needs to be out there to have some one hit him from behind..that scares me. Plus he has one year left .

Agree, but its all about finding balance 1-6. The real question is who will be the final defenseman in our mix?

Los Angeles Kings - We're Back!
Blake statement is encouraging. Kings need prospects/draft picks down the road to keep the window open. Throwing away valuable assets for trumped up (by their current team and the herd) rentals is not wise. I thought Dean didn't want mercenaries.

Scuderi was a healthy scratch for his past two teams. Now he's going to handle top pairing minutes vs the likes of Kane/Getzlaf/Perry/Seguin/Benn?
I highly doubt it.
