They better. I was about to get over there and kick some ass.

 

[HYORI 1963]

Just in nick of time. Not signing him would have been just wong. I'm weally happy with this signing.

Gravel next?

Vey!

 

[cyclones22]

Woulda been very siskell of the Kings to not sign Ebert.

 

[Peter James Bond]

Severely Awesome!

Congrads Nick! Anyone who puts up over 70 points (regular season plus playoffs) and was over plus 60 and called one of the best skaters in junior hockey...and helped his team win the OHL Championship,
you gotta love it! A good day for King fans!

I like this, because the top 3 Defensemen in the system; McNabb, Forbort, and Gravel,
are all 6'4" 210+ guys and there is a need for a dynamic skating, offensive defenseman
in the system.

Your turn, Kevin! Just sign.

 

[KingsCourt]

sweeeettt!!...KG, you're up...sign on that damn dotted line.

 

[HYORI 1963]

Your turn, Kevin! Just sign.

Exactly! Just sign, then ask questions later.

 

[kovacro]

Hope his game translates well from junior to pro. I love our prospect pool.

Hopefully they can get Gravel done next.

 

[palffytofrovlov]

Good happy thats done, next up Kevin....

 

[bmr]

Man, the Kings are going to be stacked in Manchester, even with guys like Toffoli and Pearson leaving. I can't wait to see what Ebert can do. That kid is a steal where we picked him!

 

[losingsand]

Love this signing....Seems like a good kid that's turned it around.
Love the speed and puck moving ability. Always rootin for these last overall picks.

Great news for Nick and the Kings' organization. I don't understand why Gravel wouldn't sign, though. The Kings' biggest need is big, defensive defensemen. Gravel will have a legitimate chance to crack the lineup next year. I could see Greene and Mitchell both leaving this summer, leaving spots for Gravel and McNabb.

Muzzin - Doughty
Gravel - Voynov
McNabb - Martinez

That's a pretty damn mobile defense. Would they go with a lineup that young though?

 

[Peter James Bond]

If Gravel signs, Manch D:

McNabb Gravel
Forbort Ebert
Bodnarchuk Loverde

That's as good as some NHL teams. I think as Mitchell and Greene are gone,
McNabb makes the Kings.

Mcnabb is guaranteed to make the big club next year

 

[bmr]

Mcnabb is guaranteed to make the big club next year

Doesn't he have to play with the big club next year or he is subject to waivers? I remember reading something about this...

 

[HYORI 1963]

Yep, McNabb is out of options. He's guaranteed a spot, because he needs to clear waivers, which he won't.

 

[KBA4life]

Yep, McNabb is out of options. He's guaranteed a spot, because he needs to clear waivers, which he won't.

And because of what they gave up to get him. Excited to see him play

 

[KingCanadain1976]

what is the cap hit for him ? anyone know ? good to see all the kids getting signed.

 

[damacles1156]

what is the cap hit for him ? anyone know ? good to see all the kids getting signed.

Most likely in the 500 - 700k range.

Everyone knows this except for you, and we're not telling. You're canadien.

Gravel will not be jumping straight to the NHL, he'll be in the A for a year or two first. Not top mention you left out Regehr.
