What is going on with Carter's foot? Potential blockbuster fantasy trade would send him my way for a discount price but I can't find any info on a timeline

I want to see Andreoff get the nod. He plays a similar role to Clifford and would slide right in without feeling like the Kings lack that grit, that pop the Clifford bring to the table.

Pearson is not that physical, doesn't fight, stick up for teammates, etc.

BRING UP ANDREOFF!

Pearson is prolly just as physical as Clifford. Andreoff would be a huge upgrade in physicality and in the agitator dept. Cliff doesnt fight. He just gets beat up on. Cliff has to start finding a way to be more productive before his career is over. He doesnt do the gritty things well enough.

Im calling it now. Kings dont call up anyone and dont waive anyone. Fraser will play. Not that I like the idea. Just the Kings would have to make to many moves to bring up another player.

That's a fair bet. The giant caveat being how serious they feel the injuries to Greene/Clifford are.

All the pretext is there though...Greene coming off a season long back injury...Clifford now going on a potential third concussion...

The scenario of doing nothing could very well play out.

Honestly for me. I feel our team has played better without Greene. Hes just to slow. Hes a liability. Id rather have these kids who can skate play theyre 2way game then have a slow out of position anchor. Clifford has been a non factor for us. If they can put him on LTIR then I could see a call up. But all bets are on fraser playing. Sutter is already showing in such a short amount of time the confidence he has in Vey and Toff. Vey looked good. But lets hope he can keep that up.

For the most part it sounds like Sutter is completely fine playing Fraser on this trip, and waiting to see if Stoll is healthy and/or one of the injured players can fly out at some point.

Am I the only Kings fan who doesn't mind Fraser?

I mean let's be honest... he isn't asked to produce like a top 6 is.

He is a plug.

He is plugging away.

I'd rather see him be a plug and have guys in Manchester further develop than for them to play 6-9 minutes a night on a bottom line trying to develop chemistry with players who are plugs.

Just my 2 cents.
