<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tkecanuck341</b></div><div>Not sure if you care about lines. If so:

Fiala plays LW, Kempe plays RW. Fiala and Kopitar were tried together and found to have zero chemistry. They won't play together.

Moore-Danault-Arvidsson has been fantastic for the Kings for two seasons in a row now. I doubt they'll break them up. That line will slide down to the 3rd line.

Byfield is going to stay with Kopitar, because the Kings want him to learn everything they can before Kopitar starts to decline. Kempe is likely to start on their RW, but they might go with Kaliyev there instead if they want to try Fiala-Dubois-Kempe, which would be a very good line for the Kings a very long time.

Englund was signed to a 2-year $1M AAV contract despite being a fringe NHLer for a strategic reason. They want it to be a poison pill that other teams won't want to snag off waivers. He's likely to start in the AHL and will only be called up to cover for injuries. Bjornfot will get his spot at 3LD.

Copley will be the starter and Talbot the backup, unless something crazy happens in training camp.

They won't carry 3 goaltenders on the roster. JAD will likely be the 13th forward and the Kings will have to run with 6 defensemen.</div></div>

Amd Rittich is making under 900k so he could be sent down through waivers if nobody claims him

I just did RW because CapFriendly runs it like that
