[FrozenRoyalty]

With the Los Angeles Kings opening their 2019-20 season in less than 24 hours, let's do a little housekeeping, in terms of answering the question...

Why did some of the young prospects get sent down to the Ontario Reign instead of making the Kings roster?

The short answer is that such decisions are not as simple as one might think.

This story also takes a close look at center prospect Jaret Anderson-Dolan and includes comments from Reign head coach Mike Stothers, Kings assistant general manager Michael Futa, and from Anderson-Dolan.

Always nice to see all the praise for JAD. Nice work, Gann.

Keep them down there to develop, the Kings are going nowhere this season

Nice article as always. Top drawer.

That said moving Carter (to wing if we have to) to another team (easier said than done) and Kempe to RW would be great starts to making room for JAD to enter the line up, which he is more than ready to do.

Last nights game showed us where our problems are and they are in our veterans. The game keeps getting quicker and quicker and a few of our vets just aren't able t0 keep up. Point production may say otherwise but then we lost the game by a goal.

We need to not only improve our overall speed but we also need to improve our quickness and that is going to be difficult for some of our vets.

IF we are going to rebuild which is absolutely what we need to be doing then we need to splash our faces with ice water and dig in.
