How the Kings should line up this season

Damn Kupari needs to make it eventually . Makes sense putting Byfield with your best offensive forwards. How long is Arvidsson out

The lines are meh. I think they should be..

LW A.Kempe C A.Kopitar RW K.Fiala
LW T.Moore C P.Danault RW V.Arvidsson
LW A.Iafallo C Q.Byfield RW R.Kupari
LW B.Lemieux C B.Lizotte RW G.Vilardi

LD M.Anderson RD D.Doughty
LD T.Bjornfot RD M.Roy
LD A.Edler RD S.Durzi

G J.Quick
G C.Petersen

Byfield will need to be like 60% better to get the 2C. He got better but Lizotte proved to be the better 3C last season. He's only 20 so I imagine he will take a step, but 3C minutes and an uptick in offense and defense would be a win in my eyes.

Moore-Danault-Arvidsson were an absolute threat together, Kopitar is still an elite playmaker and having Kempe and Fiala will make him lethal.

I agree with most everything else though.

Fiala played LW in Minnesota and Kempe had his breakout season on the RW. Why would they swap them now?

Kaliyev doesn't make your squad, eh? Too bad since he's the single best sniper the Kings have had since Luc Robitaille.

What did you do with Grundstrom? He had a very good year last year, especially in the playoffs, and was just awarded with an extension. Yet you have him as a healthy scratch?

Bjornfot had a rough season last year. He's not going to be in the Kings starting six. He'll either be the 7th defenseman or start the season in Ontario in favor of Moverare.

So, to quote yourself, your "lines are meh."

As I said in the description, number the lines as you see fit.

I mostly listed that line 2nd since I wanted to avoid all the incredulous replies of "You have Fiala on the 3rd line!?!?!?" The Danault line was arguably the Kings 1st line last season.

Hypothetically, you could have the Danault line as #1, the Kopitar line as #2 and the Byfield line as #3. Or even the Kopitar line as #3. Regardless, you'll have 3 lines that are all a scoring threat.
