I miss the days when we had frequent posts and things to talk about.

Jesse puljujärvi's rights + Russell for Voynov's rights... would you guys do that?

I dont think this is terrible by any means. I feel most EDM fans would be up in arms with this. I guess the question would be. Is LA willing to play or bury Russell for 2 years.

Thanks. Appreciate it

Jon Rosen on the newest episode of All The King’s Men podcast, talking about the Kings possibly taking Kirby Dach (if still there) at #5.

He has Dach as a true centerman and not one of those guys that’s a center/winger hybrid and on the bubble between the two. Sounds like Dach has potential to be a 1C eventually - but needs some areas of his game to develop more.

6’4” 193 lbs is a sweet frame to have in the middle.

I like Dach. He is a big prototypical center. My only worry with him is his speed.

And the same complaint with Villardi since day 1. Im for picking the best player available. I just hope they are skilled and fast enough for todays game.

I guess the Kings have a “line in the sand” of sorts about who they draft and if they have the foot speed, etc. to keep up with the game they want to see played. That’s according to Same Rosen when he was on ATKM podcast.

I’m assuming whoever they take, they feel has the ability/potential to develop into a player that can keep up in the modern day NHL.

Also...Dylan Cozens being compared to Jeff Carter in terms of center/wing skill and skating ability.

He's not the fastest skater, but neither is Kopitar. They both make up for it with high hockey IQ.

Agreed. Not to mention big frames - always a nice asset.
