J Dub with Richards ? Yes please , he can break Richards out of his epic funk he had been in last two weeks.
Realease the J Dub slump buster magic.

Toffoli hasn't been taking advantage of his time on Richards' line the last few games. Some of this may be due to Richards, but Toffoli has no guaranteed spot as of yet.
Time to step up your game kid.
I wonder how far away we are from
Brown/Kopitar/Williams
King/Richie/Carter
again. I mean at least we are seeing our true top 6 (for this season) somewhat back together. Now all we need is for Lewis to go back to the 4rth line and we are set.
By the end of the season we will need to address one way or the other our legit need for a truly capable LW. Clifford or Lewis or whoever either has to be given the time to lock the spot down or we need to get (or call up) someone who can and give them the time to do so.
Well, you gotta admit that Sutter has made something out of King on the LW. If Brown was having a season with normal production the left side would be looking not so bad right now.
Every team has a hole here or there. If LW is the Kings' "hole", that's better than it being at center, defense, or goaltending.
I like the top two lines but would rather see Carter back on Richie's RW, and I'd like King on LW. Reunite the top line and see if that rejuvenates Brown.
All true.
Though we are a team that is fine tuning in order to win a cup so even our small needs become much bigger as a result of our actual potential.
Player Lewis on our 3rd line changes the entire dynamic of what is should be capable of doing. We need to find a LW either from within or possibly elsewhere if we expect to be able to roll 4 lines that can be dominant and get us another cup imo. Lewis on the 4rth is fine but with the way our 3rd line is set up we have to be able to have them be a threat.

I agree TG, and I fully expect Dean to be looking at every conceivable deal to get the Kings some help on the left side. I'm not expecting a block buster though, and I certainly don't want to see either one of Toffoli or Vey going the other way.
If Dean could pick up a veteran two-way LW with a little scoring touch for the 3rd line, I would be satisfied. Lewis is still a very good 4th liner IMO that seems to come up big when the games matter the most.
Richards hasn't been doing jack, a sniper is not a play maker.
Put stoll and Carter together and Carter wouldn't do hot either.
I know you guys are being rough on TT but Richards is more to blame.
You're starting to sound like some Philadelphia fans about 6 months before Richards was traded.
Happy Monday to you too, Rec
I'm not expecting much out of it but it's a problem I alluded to in the other thread--almost any configuration of those 7 players is fantastic (Kopi, Carter, Williams, Brown, Richards, Toffoli, and this year King), but whoever gets the "other" players on the third line it usually makes that line ineffective. We have 2.5 solid lines. If we can ever solve that, either via LW/other trade/callup, I think we're sitting pretty.
In the meantime, whoever those "other" 3rd liners are are going to get trashed a la Derek Armstrong playing on the 2nd line.
Man but our third line is atrocious. I'd give away my car for a left winger
