Hustle

Better off looking to Columbus.

I'm hoping that Blake Lizotte and Sean Walker continue their excellent play and prove to be the revelations of the season.

I hope that if Blake can't (or doesn't want to) re-sign Tyler Toffoli, then he'll send him somewhere soon for a second and a prospect. We need to give the younger players like Michael Amadio, Carl Grundstrom, Austin Wagner and even Matt Luff more playing time, and neither Carter nor Kovalchuk is going anywhere.

I think that Tobias Bjornfot has a bright future with this team. You left him off your roster -- what do you think the Kings are going to do with him in the next couple of seasons?

After seeing Bjornfot being a scratch the last two games, I hope they send him down to Ontario. He needs to play. AHL will benefit him more than going back to Sweden.

Hopefully Lizotte will start producing more soon otherwise I fear he will be sent down. He has played very well in other areas though. IMO the way he is playing he should be put on the 4th line. Fast, aggressive, forcing turnovers, ect. Not producing much though, I don't know if putting him on the 4th line makes much sense. Ontario would be a better option possibly.

Walker is finally starting to play very well and catch my eye. I have been very impressed with his game. Almost a PPG player right now, hopefully he keeps It up.

You are right about Kempe, he is not a center.

as far as Iafallo goes, I agree with you. But you have to keep in mind the Iafallo-Kopitar-Brown line is red hot right now and our best line. Kopitar and Brown are MORE than Point Per Game players right now and breaking that whole line up is a mistake. We also don't really have a better option for 1LW. I think they should put Kovi with Kopi and Brown eventually. It makes a lot of sense because Kopi and Brown are our best forwards offensively and DEFENSIVELY putting a not so great defensive player like Kovi with those guys will balance well. Kovi will also bring extra goal scoring to that line.

I agree that the more playing time Lizotte and Bjornfot get, the better it will be for them and the faster they mature.

I would love to see McLellan try out a line of Wagner-Lizotte-Amadio.

A lot of ACGM's have Los Angeles trading Martinez, but I think he's the perfect partner for Walker at this stage of his career.
