@JamesLambLA He's a confident athlete. I really think this could work out. He learned from one of the very best.

[Caleb Rapoport @caleb_rapoport]

Bad thing?

[James LA @JamesLambLA]

@NHLRussell Drew asks for a trade and ditches the team by NOV……..

[Caleb Rapoport @caleb_rapoport]

@KenWebb24 @NHLRussell Kuzi still possible at 2LW

[Caleb Rapoport @caleb_rapoport]

@JamesLambLA That's fixable.
Agree about the defense.
It really seems like LA is going to sacrifice the upcoming season to be a possible choice for 97.
Which is a really scary gamble.. Unless it's not a gamble if you know what I'm saying.

[Caleb Rapoport @caleb_rapoport]

@KenWebb24 @NHLRussell Panarin and Fiala legit enough?

[Caleb Rapoport @caleb_rapoport]

The #LAKings could definitely use this type of offensive weapon.

[Steven Ellis @SEllisHockey]

Elton Hermansson's first goal is a beauty – he just pulled off the Michigan.

2-0 Sweden. #WorldJuniors

[Caleb Rapoport @caleb_rapoport]

@AStanovich68 Absolutely.

[Caleb Rapoport @caleb_rapoport]

@JamesLambLA LA was already basically out of the playoffs.
The difference is that their top 2 possible centers (55/9) would be literally twice a fast as Kopitar.

[Caleb Rapoport @caleb_rapoport]

@KenWebb24 @NHLRussell It's almost as if this move could make him more elite. If I'm wrong I'm wrong but when I asked Adrian at exits he was way more open to it than anyone in that room expected. He's a gamer.

[Caleb Rapoport @caleb_rapoport]

@TheBannermenPod It's almost as if this front office believes or knows a certain $20M Center is going to arrive in Los Angeles in the next 18 months.

[Caleb Rapoport @caleb_rapoport]

@DooleyLAK Dools!

It just might work.

He's a very good hockey player.

[Zach Dooley @DooleyLAK]

Also in today's Ken Holland press conference -

Peter Laviolette spoke with Adrian Kempe about potentially playing center this season. Alex Laferriere remains an option as well and the Kings hope to negotiate with some UFA's at center as well.

TLDR - Lots of options there.

[Caleb Rapoport @caleb_rapoport]

All in. #LAKings
The opportunity to completely change the trajectory of the franchise presents itself.

Top 3 D man on earth.

[JFresh @JFreshHockey]

Game on

[Caleb Rapoport @caleb_rapoport]

Imagine becoming the biggest WNBA star of all-time in one day just because of a GIF.. 😂

@AndrewKnollNHL

[Caleb Rapoport @caleb_rapoport]

@wyshynski 🙄

[Caleb Rapoport @caleb_rapoport]

@NHLRussell Caps will take Lin.. 😂

[Caleb Rapoport @caleb_rapoport]

@LAKingsCrowned But maybe they now deal Nico to LA.. So kinda correct.

[Caleb Rapoport @caleb_rapoport]

Nope.
Devil.

Alexander Command | C | 6’ | 183 lbs

Orebro HK | 30g | 17a | 47 pts

Could he be Kopitar’s replacement at 17th overall?
