7th in time on ice among forwards, too. A couple minutes below his average time, too. PLD defenders can't even cite time on ice, as he still played his average time.

Trade PLD to Montreal for Josh Anderson and draft choices...2nd R next year and 3rd R in 2026

F-ing get up and hunt! Cmon Todd!
Byfield at C is going to be fun to watch.. since he'll be carrying the puck down low out of the zone slicing and dicing ala Bobby Orr

What PLD defenders? The best he got on these boards in the last month was something like, "He's sucked, but I hope he can figure it out."

The Rangers traded Lias Andersson to LA for a 2nd round pick. The Rangers drafted Will Cullye, a player I hoped LA would draft with that pick. So the Rangers got a young tough power forward. And we got their bust. Thanks Rob.

This team has been absolutely cursed at trying to find a center. Couldn't do it by draft or trade. Byfield is literally the last hope, all the chips are on him. I hope he succeeds, but at the very least, even if he fails at center, we know he is going to be a solid top 6 wing.

Moving PLD onward would be a blessing in disguise he's a pain in the ass and has had no chemistry with pretty much everyone and every team he has gone too...let Montreal have him if they want him

He's not going to fail its not in his DNA besides he's had the great Kopitar to mentor him
I'm pretty sure Kings would have never drafted Cullye. Not defensive minded enough.

Honestly how is he going to fail at center? He's faster this season than last. He's skating the puck with speed through the neutral zone and getting zone entry (something he wasnt doing last year). His tenacity and responsibility in the d-zone is top notch. Only Todd could screw it up from here.
Plus he's big and tough, we can't have forwards like that on this team.
Exactly why they wouldn't have chose him. Makes too much sense. Lol.

Quick is still pissed LA tossed him aside like a used Tire...I'd be pissed too he gave everything to this Organization and they(Blake) shit on him
AEG would fire Blake...so yeah sit the cry baby and whinny bitch and put Kaliyev out there and while they are at it bring up Turcotte for good

They didn't toss him aside. They gave him 2 seasons to turn it around and he couldn't. He didn't stick in Vegas either, but I am glad he has found his game.
Alright know this girl is one of us fest up. Absolute epic. Lol.
Since Dave Taylor was able to draft a franchise goalie like Quick with only a 3rd round pick. I don't think LA has used a pick higher than the 3rd round on goalies in years. That strategy isn't working very well.
