Thread: Kings Lines and Pairings Outlook
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hckeydude123</b></div><div>As an LA native im very excited to go to games this coming season. This team on paper looks like its going to be very exciting as long as everyone stays health and goal tending holds up.

Forward group wise I think you've got it spot on, maybe Lewis gets a little more playing time than JAD but only because his leadership and experience not over his skill.

Defensive wise that's probably how it'll end up but I surely wouldnt mind seeing Clarke or Spence with Gavy and Bjornfot with Roy just to add a little dynamic to the back end.

Goaltending wise I'd start the season with Copley and hope that he could have as good of a season as he did last year. I think they will end up splitting the season pretty evenly between Copley and Talbot.</div></div>

That's awesome, enjoy this upcoming season! I think it'll be a pretty fun season if the goaltending doesn't disappoint. My only concern going into the season with the Kings is the 3 goalies they have are like backup- fringe backup quality. They should look to trade for a goalie at the deadline again if they have a subpar start which could very well happen.

Thread: Realistic Outlook
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>I don't see the Hawks doing that. Vlasic, Phillips, Tinordi will get the bulk with Roos being brought up if they need assistance. They're at a stage where they need to see whether their LD can cut it OR not. Their single deepest prospect depth is LD. At some point you just need to see what they can do. It's actually the reason they let Caleb Jones go. Just too many LD.

***EDIT*** The reason he's not with CHI yet is because Ironically, Josh Bailey costs slightly more in a buyout, but not much more. The NYI were willing to pay the price. BOS isn't...and I'm not suggesting BOS should. Just they haven't yet.</div></div>

That's totally fair, I agree the Hawks should see what they have at LD currently to see if some guys are ready for that next step.

My thoughts were to have Forbort and Tinordi at LD and see if Vlasic or Roos can work them out of the lineup instead of just giving it to them. Plus having some more NHL calibre d men gives Bedard more some more assurance that they're not going to get shelled every night.
