Description

It is starting to look as though the Kings will at least give Brandt Clarke a peak at the NHL, and it will be at the expense of Sean Durzi. Alternatively they could have Durzi or Walker play conditioning games in the AHL as both are coming off injuries.

Arvidsson is now out of the non-contact jersey and could potentially play opening night.

Judging from Group A pairings, the forwards on the cusp are who we expected: JAD, Andersson, and Vilardi

I believe Vilardi will push his way into this lineup at some point, just not yet.

Noteworthy players who (I'm assuming) will be sent to waivers:

- Jaret Anderson-Dolan

- TJ Tynan

- Phoenix Copley (might stay up if Petersen is still having injury issues)

- Jacob Moverare

Don't necessarily disagree with anything. Just noting that Tynan has already passed through waivers and has been assigned to Ontario.

Oh, for some reason, I thought he was just sent down today. Good if he already cleared, it makes sense why we released Nate Thompson in that case.

Nate Thompson was released from his NHL tryout agreement, but will be joining the Reign on an AHL tryout agreement. His time with the Kings organization isn't at an end just yet.

Brett Sutter 2.0 and (experienced) center depth, I'm for it.
