News Article: Jamie McBain talks tryout with Monarchs

[Raccoon Jesus]

What the hell

CNS didn't seem too impressed with him.

 

[Captain Mittens*]

Insane in the McBain, insane in the brain!

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Kind of hope he signs so I can use this as an avatar

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Well, couldn't hurt our power play, that's for sure.

 

[CNS]

What the hell

CNS didn't seem too impressed with him.

I've maintained this whole time that he's been incredibly up and down. Makes a nice, flashy play, skates well, shoots well, then feeds the other team with a perfect pass.

 

[Captain Mittens*]

Well, couldn't hurt our power play, that's for sure.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Dean just ****ing with everyone. God level troll. He'll find a way to trade his rights to Columbus for Ryan Murray at 50% salary retained.

 

[Trolfoli]

Depth signing for the right side in case Martinez goes down before Voynov is back...

 

[KingCanadain1976]

I hope this means some rest for the defense. Everyones mins are up and need a rest. I also think Mcnabb needs a game off or two to straighten himself out.

Jamie McBain apparently will take jersey No. 5 if he plays for the Kings, as seems likely.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Why sign McBain? Bodnarchuk could have the call up.

The greatness of Tim Watters returns!

He's hurt.

 

[Johnny Utah]

They said bods is healthy and ready to go.

Kings really mess up the AHL development if they sign McBain and at some point have to send him down. That would leave Schultz, bods and McBain taking time away from all the other young d.

 

[CNS]

They said bods is healthy and ready to go.

Was supposed to be. Things can change.

New defenseman on the ice for Kings. I’m told it’s Jamie McBain but that he hasn’t yet signed a contact. Was on PTO in AHL

Well heck. Lombardi earning his money.

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

I asked about him on the Buffalo board. I got "Decent shot...sucks at everything else" and "Calling him a pylon would be an insult to pylons." Ouch.

 

[NHLFanSince2020]

I know it's just +/- and I know -13 doesn't sound good, but among the regular BS defensemen, JM was among the tops.

We're going to need every red cent before this is over.

Didn't they also call RR a pylon?

I miss our best player Cap Space

 

[Ollie Weeks]

Dmen just about always make out better here than wherever they came from. Team structure and on-ice support usually provides them with more comfort while playing than they're used to. I always keep an open mind when new player comes in from a bad team.

 

[Ollie Weeks]

LOL, Sami Salo is looking for a job too. Come one, come all, to the LA Kings! Bring your friends- can they play D?!
