Hope the Kings have enough energy left to finish this one out. Last night they barely made it through the 3rd. Really love the effort though. Kings are playing hard.
Cole Caufield > Matt BoldyI know it’s a horse that’s been beaten to death, but I really can’t help but think that the fortunes of this franchise would’ve been starkly different over the last four years if we’d have drafted a Boldy over Turcotte, or Stutzle over Byfield. You can see the effect that a truly skilled forward has in general.. and before anyone says Fiala, I firmly stand by my assertion that his Olympic injury was an ‘addition by subtraction’ type of situation. That guy is poison in the well, and I would truly love to see management find a way to offload both he and Byfield for some talented defenders in the offseason.
Any of the other USNTDP players selected that year would have been a better choice than Turcotte. We basically got the only lemon out of the bunch…..Cole Caufield > Matt Boldy

I thought Turc looked better centering TO and Laf.I'm not sure what my alternative would be, but I don't see any chemistry between 12-55-14. Maybe swap Laughton into that spot? Byfield is better as an energy guy at this point.
