Sheng Peng: #11 Sleeper for Kings?; Remembering '93 Robert Thomas might be a lottery sleeper + After Gretzky, which King earned most Three Star selections in 1993 postseason?

Hrudey played great in that run. The OT games in the finals probably (guessing) accounted for 2-3 of those three star points. While the result was disappointing, that Toronto CCF series was still the best Kings' playoffs series off all-time...until Chicago WCF in 13/14 .

Karma got us back with the curved stick in game two of the SCF. All balances out.

I should've added Kerry Fraser as one of the stars of Game Six.

Thomas looks like he has good puck possession.

I think the #11 pick will turn out nicely for LA. I know the draft is weak but it looks like 1-12 teams can get a decent player.

purely based on the writeups between tippett, suzuki and thomas, i like suzuki the best. sounds like an underrated gamer whereas tippett is one dimensional and thomas is your classic lunchpail 3/4 liner that lombardi would've traded up to draft...

Still a bunch more to go! But I think I agree so far. However, Tippett's upside is tantalizing.

Sounds like a solid pick, but I am biased because he has the same name as me.

On a scale of 1-10, how happy were you that the singer Rob Thomas fell into obscurity?

10, hate that band and I hated getting asked if I knew we had the same name or if we were related.
