Kings Article: Michael Futa On Alex Iafallo: “He Gives Us Another Swing in the Skill and Speed Areaâ€

[FrozenRoyalty]

Forward Alex Iafallo, who signed with the Kings as an unrestricted free agent out of the University of Minnesota, Duluth last April, has shown that he is a fast, strong skater and that he has a good skill set and a deceptive, quick shot.

The front office is pretty high on him, but who is he? What kind of player is he? Does he have a chance to crack the Kings lineup out of camp?

Good article, and it's cool to get Quick's perspective on how he sees and evaluates shots.

Pretty impressive. Iafallo may just end up being better than Kempe, Brodzinski, Amadio...this is not a cool thing to say and hoping the best for all of these players.
Just thought that no one is talking about him...and rightfully so, because no one
has seen him in a game yet.

So great to know the Kings added 3 potential high end forwards this Summer with
Vilardi, Jaret Dolan-Anderson and Iafallo. Vilardi plays a heavy game and JAD and Iafallo have great speed and a lot of skill. Vilardi had 2 injuries and takes team to Memorial Cup, JAD is a leader (capt?) on Canada under 18 team and Iafallo goes to final 4.

Cool that Quick mentions Brodzinki's and Iafallo's shots.

Great article, Gann!

Gann, your recent articles have been a sorely needed breath of fresh air. Great insights on a new prospect I didn't know much about. Keep up the good work!

Just hope he isn't a pitch in the dirt, but it's really just strike one if he isn't what the Kings are looking for at the NHL level.

He might be a good leader in Ontario.
