Thread title has incorrect date (18 instead of 19).

[Now corrected, thanks. I initially got a shock, thinking I may have missed a game.]

 

[Statto]

Vilardi is day to day, I believe

 

[Axl Rhoadz]

SJ got Oettinger last night, so assuming we get Wedgewood. Let's hope TM doesn't counter with our backup.

 

[ibleedkings]

Love the early GDT!!!

 

[LAKings88]

Just win.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Vilardi is day to day, I believe

Hopefully this is the day after!

Because no one deserves Lemieux-Byfield-Kupari.

[Statto]

I really hope they give Turcotte a go

 

[kilowatt]

Put Turcotte with Kopitar and Kempe Todd, you coward!

Turcotte - Kopitar - Kempe
Iafallo - Danault - Arvidsson
Fiala - Byfield - Kupari
Lemieux - Lizotte - JAD

Anderson - Doughty
Bjornfot - Durzi
Edler - Roy

Turcotte called up? Nice.

Not sure if he'll even play.

Nice for him to get a bigger paycheck though.

 

[Little Psycho]

I really hope they give Turcotte a go

Watch him be a bench warmer.

Looks like we are all mildly excited cos we know how TM works

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

25 minutes for Kopitar
4 for Byfield between Lemieux and Kupari
Turcotte and Toby on the bench
Fagemo starts on top line, doens't play in the 3rd

Anyone for a parlay

Anyone would be a fool to bet against these predictions.

If I didn't know better, I would think that you were the Toddfather himself

That is probably why Blake did it in a sense. He usually does it as a reward to the players he feels have earned it or needs to for morale. I actually do believe it when Blake says he just gives Todd options and lets him build the lines. It would be nice if Todd gives him a look.

Admittedly, it isn't cut and dry for Todd because in his mind this is a team competing for the playoffs and there isn't much room for experimentation. However, Durzi was "found" and earned his spot from team injuries. Would be nice to get a look at where these kids slot in the NHL.

madden has been playing pretty well lately and chromiak has begun to heat up lately, maybe this is to see if turc has progressed or about to be passed over ,and will be dealt at the tdl , might fit into what arizona wants , turc, toby and the 24 rd1 pick , are the 3 firsts and walker to make the cap ,wouldn't hurt the roster now and chycrun appears to be an upgrade , just a thought but if we want to improve the roster on the left side we are competing against a few teams so it will not be cheap

 

[johnjm22]

Also, if the Kings are going to trade Turcotte, it makes sense to give him some NHL exposure I think.

 

[YP44]

Finally a game day!

29th PK with Danault, Kopitar and Iafallo who are all good defensive forwards is a joke.

 

[Telos]

Since they demoted Byfield from the top 6, it would be interesting to see him with Turcotte since they had been paired together a bit in Ontario.

It would be extra interesting if they gave the center spot to Turcotte and gave them a fast RW to see what they could do Ah, to dream...

Byfield is no longer in the top 6?

Byfield is no longer in the top 6?

According to Rosen it is back to Fiala-Kopitar-Kempe.

Grundstrom wont play on trip; Vilardi day-to-day; roster moves coming; talkin’ aurora borealis with Copley

“Grunny’s value is in certain things that he did really well, and we’ll look to replace that in his minutes in his spot as much as we can.”

theforumreport.com

With that said, Anze Kopitar centered Kevin Fiala and Adrian Kempe. Again, there are more adjustments to come, part of the game-to-game fluidity with which the coaching staff juggles its talent. But the observation set off a flurry of responses on Twitter, many pointing to the relative shot, chance and expected goals-based numbers when the three play together. (Fiala and Kopitar’s numbers are hardly different when playing with or apart from each other, though Fiala and Kempe have benefited when they’ve been separated.

TM is nothing if not predictable. I don't really blame him vs. Dallas, but it's part of a pattern of we're loading up vet heavy on the top six and giving the kids less than 15 combined minutes in the bottom six. I'd anticipate Kopitar's line to be 22+ minutes tonight, Danault's 20+, the third line 11ish, the fourth line 7ish.

Too many kids in the lineup freaks him out.

Curious to see if Lizotte slides down or if Byfield is on his wing. I mean, I understand wanting Fiala with a space creator like Vilardi, which he wouldn't have with Lizotte and whoever they move up from the 4th. Moving Byfield down does help on Face-offs with essentially 2 centers.

Personally, I would have done something like moving JAD up to the first and flanking Lizotte with Fiala/Byfield. When Moore comes back I'd still like to see Iafallo move up to the first line and put Byfield between Vilardi and Fiala.

A lot of the ice time is going to be dictated by who Dallas rolls out.

Was right about Turc being a bench warmer lol.
