The Kings need depth at forward and not another top 6. This top 6 would be top class, but would still get run through the ground in a series with Vegas who can truly roll four all over again,

By adding Patch and Kovalchuk this team doesn't get any faster. Kovalchuk is not the skater he was 5 years ago. LA lacked the speed to skate with Vegas in a series, also don't see them keeping up with San Jose either.

That's your opinion. Kings have always been able to skate with Sharks and we've always had a relatively older team. We won 2 Stanley Cups with older teams. Everybody knows or at least should know that you don't need fast players to play a fast game. Our issue is going to be John Stevens.

Fair it is my opinion. I would also argue the game has changed quite a bit since the Kings won the cup four seasons ago. The Kings did win then with a team wasn't the fastest but what they could do is physically punish any team they play, much like the Ducks did 4-7 years ago. The problem with that is this Kings roster isn't all that punishing, the compete level isn't high and those two players certainly don't raise it, and I would be concerned about Stevens too because that all starts with him.
