I would say that Alex Frolov has a chance to be a Jere Lehtinen type of player, i.e. great two way forward that can put up 60 points a year. That may be a bit optimistic but he works so hard on the defensive end it only makes him that much better. He has stopped the wrap around and is shooting more, which I'm sure that the coaching staff has throttled him on.
Seeing Cammalleri also reminds me of a young Cliff Ronning or better yet, another Mike Comrie. So if the Kings have got a future Jere Lehtinen and a Mike Comrie- type of players in their lineup, that measures up to good things in LA.
I agree, Punch, Frolov isn't going to score 40 goals in this league. He may get 30. But if he can be 25-30 goals and 40 assists and a Selke candidate for years to come, then his value to LA takes care of itself.
Honestly, and I might get flamed for this, but watching these kids play, Cammy, Brown, Frolov, and Gleason so far this year doesn't make me miss Allison and Deadmarsh all that much. Granted I would love to get them back, however, I am more proud of management that they have finally learned to draft correctly and let the kids play. Only if Aulin was healthy...
