Who does QB center in his first game?

Is there any reason why Byfield won't get top 6 minutes? It's only a handful of games and the Kings are a shit team. There's no reason to limit his ice time and put him with losers. Some of y'all crazy.

Wagner QB Luff, keep all the low IQ guys together.

Lmao I love the jab

We could ice a young, exciting roster. No, really, we could. We won't, but we could.

Iafallo - Kopitar - Vilardi
Kempe - Byfield - Athanasiou
Grundstrom - JAD - Kupari
Moore - Lizotte - Brown

Bjornfot - Doughty
Clague - Roy
Anderson - Walker

Being logical is against Todd's nature.

Remember Brian Boyle?

Don't compare a High School player to a 2 year vet from the OHL who led his team in scoring at 16 and 17 years old...US High School is akin to Midget hockey in Canada

Byfield’s not the toughest customer but how much protection does a 6’4
5” 220 lb player need? AHL has way more goons. Put him with good hockey players, even if we dont have many of those.

The AHL for the most part is "Garage" League...famous last words of Mario(The Magnificent)Lemieux!

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

long term I agree. Once Byfeild is centering his own line I would have Vilardi on Kopitars wing

Initially thought Vilardi could make the transition to the RWing...not sure he could do it,doesn't win a lot of Board battles and isn't buff

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Vilardi should be with Kopitar because I don't feel he's a good enough skater to play center.

He definitely isn't a great or good enough skater when we have Byfield,Turcotte and Kupari on the rise and they can flat out Fly like the Flying Frenchmen

 

[SufferingSelfCreated]

Vilardi has to lean HARD into his hockey IQ. Because he is borderline not fast enough for the NHL.

There is always room on every roster for a big forward with touch around the net.

If Vilardi develops that ability, I think he will stick.

Gabe isn't a young Jeff Carter! Nor will he ever...never been a scorer at any level...I would have packaged him last season for a first rounder to Buffalo oh well...the Kings need Wingers

Vilardi's wheels have looked better lately.
