[FrozenRoyalty]

Although he has been with the Los Angeles Kings organization for less than two weeks, left wing prospect Carl Grundstrom, who came over from Toronto in the Jake Muzzin trade, is already making quite the positive impression.

To hear what Grundstrom thinks about his play with the Ontario Reign (Kings' AHL affiliate), along with what Reign head coach Mike Stothers thinks of his newest player, check out...

Seems like a good add. Looking forward to when he gets the call up.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Energy AND skill is clutch at this juncture.

 

[KingsOfCali25]

My question is who does he take out of the lineup? Clifford? Wagner? Who?

Carter, thompson, toffoli, Hagelin

Once the trade deadline passes, I think you see some players getting called up to get a look. Grundstrom and Roy for sure and maybe Clague possibly Lintuniemi.

If Lintuniemi is called up, it will be for a mercy game on his NHL farewell tour.

He's going to be a real solid forward, top 9 on the low end IMO with skill and grit. The high-end 25/25 candidate who goes off for 30 every now and then. He's scored at every level he's played at.. and I expect him to be the perfect LAK style hockey player.

 

[Mats26]

He has a strong work ethic, NHL skills, speed, shot etc.. The issue is will the Kings surround him with enough talent to succeed and become a 45+ pt player?

 

[The Winter Soldier]

3g 4a 7 pts in 7 games.

So, Dustin Brown or Tanner Pearson?

More of a 180 no? Lmao

 

[Isaac Nootin]

As a Leaf fan, he was my favorite prospect in our system, was sad to see him go.

Glad to see the trade working out for both teams so far.

He'll be a player I follow as his career progresses.

 

[YP44]

cannot wait to move out players by next monday to open a spot for him

 

[Eye of Ra]

well hagelin is out, so i guess grundstrom is in

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

well hagelin is out, so i guess grundstrom is in

It was just mentioned that Hagelin departs, and Brodzinski is now activated

 

[Peter James Bond II]

well hagelin is out, so i guess grundstrom is in

Still sitting Amadio or Brodzinski...so Amadio scored again, so that means he will sit. He sits in games after
he scores. So maybe Brodzinski plays in Florida..and a chance another deal or 2 by deadline, I suspect:

Lewis, Clifford, Kovalchuk (if he wants to move) and possibly Martinez or Quick. Carter and Pphaneuf untradeable Of all, I give Lewis highest chance. I do want to see Grundstrom up and hope it's soon. Maybe if one of the forwards gets traded, Grundstrom comes up. (or Luff)

 

[Peter James Bond II]

From the Mayor - when he asked Brodzinski about playing with Grundstrom:

Brodzinski on linemate Carl Grundstrom – He's a power forward and has some skill too. He's fun to play with, for sure. He's F1 on the forecheck and he's gonna get that puck back for you. He's going to make those small area plays that some guys can't make.
— The Mayor John Hoven (@mayorNHL) February 16, 2019
Brodzinski continues to like what he sees in Grundstrom – "He's a hard working kid. Has a hard shot, really heavy shot. He's going to want to hone in on that going to the NHL; he's a heavy shot and a heavy body. He needs to work the corners and use that shot to his advanrage."

Good Luck Carl, in you first shot in the bigs

 

[Debrincat93]

IMO, i think this kid is a legitimate sleeper to emerge if developed properly.
just a feeling.

I sure hope so. We need to have as many young talented players as possible. Will help our cap immensely.

 

[deeshamrock]

I think it's a great idea for Blake and co . to get a good look at him for the remainder of the year. Give him some minutes and see what's he's got. He's been terrific on the Reign and this is great way for him to test the waters.

Rosen says he'll be playing with Kempe and Toffoli

 

[The Winter Soldier]

That's the way to start your NHL career.

 

[Peter James Bond II]

Carl will be a great addition to this team. Can skate, hit, grind, win battles, goes to the net, has an NHL shot (didn't get to see that tonight though) good hands, defensively responsible. Can play either wing too. Can play on any line, for that matter. Hard worker, good attitude. Still have the TOR #1 and Durzi too. Good trade.

Players like Grundstrom, JAD, Kupari (Kakko / Hughes / ? ) and Mikey Anderson can come in and start a new culture. Petersen, for that matter. Walker, Roy , Wagner showing some good things too.
