This should be interesting, Amadio is another prospect I was hyped for, along with Kempe...

 

[Scottkmlps]

Oh, nice.

 

[Kings4thecup]

Hopefully Amadio get a chance and proves he belongs.

Exciting the way they are giving prospects some exposure/experience and then rotating with a new prospect if they are not terribly effective. Keeps motivating all the prospects and sends the message that if you help the team and grab a spot you'll stay up and if you don't you'll get a chance to keep working on your game in the AHL.

I agree. Love giving all these guys a taste.

lets see what the kid can do !!!! any ideas on what line he centers if he plays???
I'd like to see him center the 3rd line with Cammy and Lewis

I agree he would be a good fit on that line, although more likely coach goes into protection mode and puts him on the 4th line. Anything to get Andreoff out of the line up is good. If Amadio goes to the 4th they could put Laich on LW or put Shore centering the 4th.

Throw him into the fire.

Pearson - Amadio - Toffoli

 

[KingCanadain1976]

I like the fact the kings seem to be trying out the kids earlier in there career. However i think this is to early I would have preferred to see him in Jan or Feb I think he still has things to learn in the ahl

 

[Ollie Weeks]

Oh my.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Okay.

 

[Fat Elvis]

You would not see Auger, Amadio or Iafallo and possibly Fantenburg in the lineup if Sutter was still at the helm IMO. That is a change that had to be made. Really excited for LA's prospects in that they're getting a shot. Wish that Weal would of been given a proper look.

 

[regulate]

Amadio is 4 months older than Kempe.

 

[KingsHockey24]

We're obviously just showcasing him to Vegas for Vadim Shipachyov.

I'm kidding guys.. kind of.

 

[sinister6000]

I thought Amadio, or Mersch would have been called up before Auger.

Just like we never saw Voynov, Nolan, King, Pearson, Toffoli, Muzzin, Forbort, Shore, Andreoff, Jones, Dowd... right?

 

[TruKingFan]

This notion that Sutter never plays rookies is just garbage. People will go out of their way to discredit the coach (and GM) that gave this franchise their best 3-year championship run that FAR FAR surpasses anything in the Gretzky era. Sickening. Just say thanks and give it up.

 

[Sol]

This is pretty f***ing hot. Pls be good bby. I hope he sticks.. Exciting time To be a Kings fan. All these rookies getting a shot so quickly, very refreshing.

Should go a long way to motivate players.

While I agree with you that all those guys you just mentioned is an example of introducing young players, but all of those guys were in our system for a couple of years before they made the NHL full time. With Iafallo and Fantenberg i think its fair to say that both Sutter and Lombardi would not have started them int he NHL right off the bat. Iafallo had no professional experience. And while Fantenberg had professional experience in the KHL, he's never played on NA ice. Lombardi would always talk about earning your dues and there's no such thing as too much time in the AHL so you could assume both Iafallo and Fantenberg would not be on this team to start the year if Lombardi and Sutter were still here.

 

[KingsOfCali25]

That would be something awesome, but I think he is going to wait until he becomes a UFA to come over. But could you imagine Porky and Voynov coming over.

Maybe I'm wrong but without any type of agreement between the NHL and KHL, don't the Kings hold his rights indefinitely??? pretty sure I read that somewhere...
Also, would love to see Dominik Kubalik come over as well.. Kid is pretty talented and if doesn't make the club then finally trade him... assets are coming in left and right over the next few years...
Gabriel Vilardi
Michael Amadio
Jaret Anderson-Dolan
Nikolai Prokhorkin
Dominik Kubalik
Alexander Dergachyov
Austin Wagner
Kale Clague
Cal Petersen
Paul LaDue
Kevin Gravel
Matt Villalta
Jonny Brodzinski
and a few more..... We finally have that pipeline going!!

 

[Little Psycho]

I'm not the only one that reads his name as Armadillo right?

And who is to say they would not have earned a call-up?
