<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MNKingsFan</b></div><div>Your lineup doesn’t include Frk, AA, and Tkachev. I expect AA to just not be signed. There will also be another player to move down when we sign a FA. I count at least 2 forwards that would have to be waived and only if Tkachev starts in Ontario. 3 would need to be waived or sent down with another player coming in. They’re all decent in their roles, there’s just too many. That also means no promotion for Kaliyev, Kupari, and Turcotte because there’s no room.</div></div>

I don't think Frk plays another game in a Kings sweater. The Kings put him through waivers when he returned from injury last season, and I expect they'll do the same again this year, unless he has a phenomenal training camp. Either way, he's not a 4th liner.

Tkachev will be waiver exempt and will likely follow the same path that Prokhorkin did when he came over. He'll start the year in Ontario and will potentially work his way up into the lineup.

Byfield will very likely be loaned to the WJC for 6-8 weeks in Nov-Dec, so that will make room for Turcotte to come up. There will also be inevitable injuries to cover for.

So Frk will be waived, but who are the other two guys that need to go?
