Anyone remember whose twitter has been the best to follow regarding claims being made? I thought @FriedgeHNIC was the best in the past but I can't remember its been so long since I cared to check it.

I just saw a long-ago tweet (like 12 hours ago) from Frank Seravalli...he looks to be the best to follow for waivers.

Either way, losing him for nothing after giving up a 2nd round pick to obtain him and then spending 2 years developing him would be poor asset management and definitely would sting. Obviously we can't win them all, but logjam aside (which is also poor asset management) Andersson has the skill today to be in the NHL.

Gamble with a second round YES, but poor asset manegement, not realy. Rangers screwed a 19yo development for a first rounder throwing him in the fire and expecting too much. At the time, Kings offering a second rounder for what he could PONENTIONALY be was a smart move. A 1st (with issues) for a 2nd (unknown). How many 2nds really pan out? Put him through our EXTEDED AHL washing machine. Give him limited chances and see what we got. Well, a kid who has potential and flair (we have seen sparks and they are sparkly!) but just not all. Hard to do when your a top 6 style player on 4th line. Are you going to take Ardvidson or Kempe out to give this kid a try? HE double hocky sticks NO. Not consistant enough. Eg. we did the same with Vallardi and he looks to finaly showing some color. We all had seen Vardi has the IT factor. A few years, some chances, here we are. Do i need to remind about Kempes upbringing?

Take Grundy for another example. Drive!!!!! Forecheck and ending it. Has some hands. He dose not have the gas tank for top six. We saw that early last year. But he found his position on where to fit mid last year and coach could not take him out. Playoffs only solidified it. Arguably the best player we had. Lias has not done that. Yet.

Top six is his only avenue. He needs top players around him to excell. There is no room for that on this team now, or a potential at this time. Guys like Kupari and Fagemo have surpassed the reliability Lias may have had. He may have had more potential but it never stayed consistant.

This was a gamble worth trying as it was only a 2nd. Now Blake needs to parly this into something to be worth while. Onis is on Blake now. It's still a potential asset to someone. Otherwise YES, it is poor asset management.
 
I am completely pleased with this roster. JAD was looking great in the preseason games. Kupari was looking just so-so, even though I still love him. There will, unfortunately, be plenty of opportunities for various Reign players to get NHL time this season.
 
Ontario is going to be loaded again this year.

1st pair D-men will likely be Bjornfot/Spence, 2nd pair is probably Moverare/Grans,
with 3rd pair being Nousianen and _______??

For the AHL, that's pretty damn good, IMO.

1st Line:
LiasA/Kupari/Fagemo

2nd line:
Chromiak/Tynan/Madden

3rd line:
Ward/Thomas/Dudas

4th line:
?/Helenius/?

I could be wrong, but my guess is this club will kick some sincere ass.

JMO, but the coaching would have to be pretty bad for that NOT to happen.
 
NOTE:

1 Funny thing, is that on the Kings, the FWs are almost all LEFT shots, except for a couple guys.

On the Reign, the FWS are mostly RIGHT-hand shots, except for a couple.

How much that matters, I have no idea.

They should be very, very good IF the Kings aren't decimated by injuries again resulting in the Reign losing much of their talent. They would have done much better in the playoffs last season if it were not for all the players that were called up to the Kings.

Agreed, that first line especially is super stacked and should hopefully dominate. Still think our goaltending is somewhat questionable though.
