[Lt Dan]

Another year of pun

This should be a great Reign team.

Ok haven’t even paying attention to the Reign too much but saw the new numbers/new faces on twitter, when did they get Serron Noel and J.D. Greenway?

Looks like both signed tryouts on Monday (according to EP)

Definitely some big kids

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Crazy, I was a big Noel fan at the draft. And didn't realize Jordan had a brother so close in age.

As long as it doesn't take playing time away from the other actual prospects these are great signings

 

[Johnny Utah]

Both Noel and Greenway can fight - one spent time in the ECHL last year.

Baffles me how the Kings always load up Ontario with size and toughness but leave the Kings soft as charmin.

Because toughness that can play is the rarest of traits these days

 

[Schrute farms]

Both those guys are big boys -- and their main statistical production is PIM.
Noel must have been hurt last year (i'm assuming) since he played only like 8 games.
Good positions at least wrt the Kings (right handed shot RW & a LHD).
Looking forward to endless post from J-Utah about these guys getting on the Kings roster and playing 3rd/4th line and preventing anyone from touching our talent on ice.

These tryout guys vary rarely stick, but will likely get into one of the two exhibition games to see what they bring. Lee's injury (and potentially Madden's, not sure if serious) could open a spot for a PTO for depth.

assuming two forwards are assigned to Ontario at the end of camp the Reign will have 13 forwards under contract (NHL or AHL) including Hudon, Doty and Pavlychev

for whatever thats worth

 

[regulate]

Build your top 9 in ONT. Too many players.

Turcotte
Laferriere
Pinelli
Chromiak
Hodgson
Tynan
Hudon
Madden
Thomas
Maltsev
Anderson-Dolan *must clear waivers
Ward

The rest

Pavlychev
Doty
Helenius
Francis
Johnson

JAD - Turcotte - Hadon
Maltsev - Tynan - Thomas
Madden - Pinelli - Chromiak

in other words i have no clue.

I'm guessing you forgot Laferriere?

This is no longer true with Madden being healthy and assigned to Ontario.

As of today, Sunday the 8th, the Reign should have in camp
(according to my notes and records)

3 goalies (Portillo, Ingham, Berube)
9 defensemen (under NHL/AHL contracts)
14 forwards (under NHL/AHL contracts)

The Reign training camp roster also has two remaining forwards signed to a PTO (I think) and if JAD clears he becomes the 15th forward with an NHL or AHL contract

These aren't predictions its just illustrative and to keep it straight in my head

Hudon(AHL)-Tynan-Laferriere
Maltsev-Thomas-Hodgson
Ward-Turcotte-Chromiak
Pinelli-Helenius-Madden
Doty(AHL)-Francis(PTO)-Pavlychev(AHL)-Johnson(PTO)

plus possibly JAD

Connauton-Clarke
Moverare-Santini
Krygier-Hicketts
Nousianen-Wylie (AHL)
Inamato (AHL)

Ingham(AHL)
Portillo
JF Berube (PTO)


I THINK thats accurate

 

[BigBrown]

Don't worry about room, I'm sure Turcotte and Thomas will likely be on IR shortly.

In all seriousness, I really hope they get to be healthy this season.

A reminder about the AHL veteran rule on dressing the 18 skaters for a game. I have not gone through and looked at all the players to do the math on who if any players this affects, but there are some AHL players with a fair amount of experience on this roster.

Veteran Rule: "Of the eighteen (18) skaters (not counting two goaltenders) that teams may dress for a game, at least thirteen (13) must be qualified as “development players.” Of those 13, twelve (12) must have played in 260 or fewer professional games (including AHL, NHL and European elite leagues), and one must have played in 320 or fewer professional games. All calculations for development status are based on regular-season totals as of the start of the season."

the following numbers are AHL + NHL only

684 - Connauton
591 - Tynan
514 - Hudon
441 - Hicketts
362 - Santini

Maltsev has played only 190 NHL/AHL games but not sure if VHL/MHL/KHL games count

I don't think anybody else is a concern other than Englund

I knew I could count on Jessie. No pun intended.

 

[kilowatt]

Nice goal, Turcotte from Madden I believe

 

[All The Kings Men]

a goal from Turcotte and a fight from Doty in the first 5 minutes(ish) of today's game.

Nice goal, Turcotte from Madden I believe

Maltsev

 

[Johnny Utah]

Travis Howe edged Doty.

Turcotte with a goal.

Helenius edged Wolfe.

Some big hits.

Already more exciting than the last two years of Kings hockey.

Portillo big save.

 

[kilowatt]

It's crazy to me that Turcotte isn't getting a shot with the big club right now

 

[kilowatt]

Reign are on fire right now

I'd think the KHL should at least count, as that's the top league in Russia.

Edit: then again, there's no agreement with Russia and the NHL (as it isn't in the same agreement as the other European leagues) so maybe they aren't even recognized.

 

[kilowatt]

Great pass by Laferriere to Hicketts. Laferriere and Turcotte look head and shoulders above everyone else right now.

Another goal by Turcotte. Reign not letting up at all.

Here's the YouTube link by the way if anyone wants to watch:
