knows, And we're here to help, just here to help. We're helpful

12
00:01:00,039 --> 00:01:03,560
people. I don't know, Victor. We're talking about your favorite California team

13
00:01:03,599 --> 00:01:11,840
today, right, No, maybe
my third or fourth favorite, your fourth

14
00:01:11,879 --> 00:01:15,200
favorite, the Barricout account. As
far as I'm concerned, that's probably your

15
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,799
second. So yeah, we're talking
about the La Kings today. It's gonna

16
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,760
be good times. The La Kings
are. Oh boy, they're a tough

17
00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:25,599
one to wrap your We keep saying
this later, but they're a tough one

18
00:01:25,599 --> 00:01:30,719
to get your your arms around.
But one thing, Victor, it's easy

19
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,640
to get your arms around, and
that is all the good things that you

20

can do associating yourself with this show. A discord is the first thing as

21
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:44,359
social media collapses around us, you
need a place to get your thoughts off,

22
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,640
to interact with people in maybe the

28
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,840
me up fanhocul Life. But in
addition to all that, Victor, we

29
00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:16,280
got Patreon. What do you got
going at the Patreon right now? Yeah,

30
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,000
lots of great stuff. We did
our twenty twenty three ranks. You

31
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,800
can still see those. It's a
separate tab in case you want to just

32
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,879
focus on the twenty twenty three's,
but we're integrating those into the forward,

33
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,560
d and goalie ranks now too,
so you can see where do these guys

34
00:02:30,599 --> 00:02:35,719
that I have drafted or just got
drafted, how do they fit in with

35
00:02:35,759 --> 00:02:38,479
the overall rest of ranks. Where
does someone like an Oliver More fit in

36
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:44,840
with the rest of the forwards in
terms of like their upside all forwards under

37
00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:47,599
a hundred games, It's tough.
A lot of our drafts have these blended

38
00:02:47,759 --> 00:02:51,159
drafts where it's mixed in, so
you can go through the ranks and cook

39
00:02:51,199 --> 00:02:54,800
out who the best top upside guys
are. There's that. There's of course

40
00:02:54,879 --> 00:03:00,639
Patron cast, there's Patron Priority Channel. We can do a row doctor go

41
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,280
over what you need to do with
your team. If you're going through a

42
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,360
rookie draft, you can DM like
who's available and help you out with your

43
00:03:07,439 --> 00:03:10,680
drafts. There, so all kinds
of great stuff. And of course we're

44
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:15,840
also doing the average draft position project, so if you want to share with

45
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:20,919
us your draft, we can integrate
that and we pump that back to the

46
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:25,240
patrons and quote some of these positions
on the show and be happy to share

47
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,000
that with you. It's interesting some
of the guys, we've recently talked about

48
00:03:29,479 --> 00:03:34,520
your Andrew Christal's going right around pick
eighteen. You might want to know that

49
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,960
in terms of how long can you
wait on someone like that, it turns

50
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,000
out not that long, and so
it's really helpful to have all that information.

51
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,599
If you would be so kind of
share that with us, all you

52
00:03:44,639 --> 00:03:46,080
got to do is go to when
your draft is done, go into fan

53
00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:50,240
Tracks, click download the CSV,
and share with us. If you could

54
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,439
give information like how many teams and
what the settings are, that would be

55
00:03:53,439 --> 00:03:58,159
great too. But really appreciate that
Brandon and Jason have been compiling that data.

56
00:03:58,159 --> 00:04:00,520
It's really good stuff. But that
if you want to support the show,

57
00:04:01,719 --> 00:04:06,080
you can do that at Patreon dot
com slash Fantasy Hockey Life. And

58
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,719
one of the other great things is
the Tier Dynasty. So the Tier Dynasty

59
00:04:10,759 --> 00:04:14,800
that has been really good success this
year, and we're moving forward with adding

60
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,399
a couple new divisions and it's going
to be a true tier. This first

61
00:04:17,439 --> 00:04:20,759
year it was all horizontal, but
now we're getting vertical tiers one, two,

62
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,920
three, four by the end of
the year. It's going to be

63
00:04:23,959 --> 00:04:28,000
really great stuff. So if you
want to take your Dynasty competition to the

64
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,399
next level. Got to check it
out. It's going to be a great

65
00:04:30,439 --> 00:04:34,399
thing. So you can see more
information about that if you go to www.

66
00:04:34,439 --> 00:04:42,480
Dot Fantasy Hockeylife dot com forward slash
tidy tidy check it out. Absolutely

67
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,319
you should do that. If you
want Andrew Crystal, maybe you can wait

68
00:04:46,319 --> 00:04:49,040
a little longer, but you can't
wait as long as Brian as long as

69
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:54,720
Brian McClellan did. So, Definitely
check out that ADPD to get the advantage

70
00:04:54,759 --> 00:04:58,680
on those people who might just be
looking at a set of ranks or looking

71
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,240
at the NHL draft result. Heaven
prepared. Let's take a break, come

72
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:13,959
back and going back to Callie to
the Los Angeles King. We're welcoming to

73
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,199
our show. A guy who knows
is Los Angeles Kings. It is Dennis

74
00:05:16,199 --> 00:05:23,560
Bernstein from sirius XM NHL and a
senior writer at the fourth period. Dennis,

75
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,519
how you doing today, Jesse Victor. I'm great to be It's glad

76
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,720
to be with you. And yes, i'd better know something about the Kings

77
00:05:28,759 --> 00:05:31,439
since i've covered them since it's it's
now Crypto dot com Arena, but it's

78
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,800
in Staples Center, open in nineteen
ninety nine, so happy to come on

79
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,800
the podcast with you guys and talk
about the Kings next season. Oh wow,

80
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,879
wow, that's a that's an awful
long time to be following the Kings.

81
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,199
Yeah, back to the back to
the previous millennium and yeah, and

82
00:05:46,319 --> 00:05:49,240
following them all the way to the
crypt all the way to the Crypto dot

83
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:54,519
com. Yes, let's talk about
this team, the pro team, as

84
00:05:54,639 --> 00:05:58,519
the Lieutenant Colonel Hannibal Smith used to
say, from the A team. I

85
00:05:58,639 --> 00:06:05,800
love it when a plan comes to
because it did. For the King's last

86
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,519
year. They set the franchise points
record, believe it or not, with

87
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,959
one hundred four points. They suppressed
shots very well for the fewest against in

88
00:06:14,959 --> 00:06:17,920
the NHL. The same trend showed
up at shot attempts. Their Fenwick four

89
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:23,079
shot attempts four unblocked is almost fifty
four percent. That was fourth in the

90
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,120
league. The problem, obviously,
we'll get to the goaltenders, especially early

91
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,680
in the season eighty nine say percentage
six worst in the NHL. Up until

92
00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:34,920
February sixth, that was worst eight
eighty two the league second worst. Why

93
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:39,800
did I pick that arbitrary date because
that was the last night franchise legend John

94
00:06:39,879 --> 00:06:44,040
Quick laced them up before Jonas Corpusalo
came in and put up a great nine

95
00:06:44,199 --> 00:06:47,079
twenty one for the King's Stretch run
and made himself a lot of Canadian dollars

96
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,879
in the process. They gave the
Oilers a good scare in the playoffs before

97
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:56,519
they got overwhelmed by McDavid dry Sidling
Company. And the offseason they cleaned out

98
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,639
a few of their promising young guys, but they brought in stud who were

99
00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:04,079
going to be talking about a little
while. How did Kings Watchers assess last

100
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,800
season and do they think they have
in place what they need to take it

101
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,319
a step up this year? Dennis. They have to start winning in the

102
00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:15,360
playoffs, Jess, And it's as
simple as that. They're good enough you

103
00:07:15,439 --> 00:07:17,519
mentioned and sitting the franchise record,
they still have never won a Pacific Division

104
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,959
title in their history. They did
win a Smythe Division back in the day,

105
00:07:21,199 --> 00:07:25,319
and I'm all enough to remember the
Smythe Division. But this is a

106
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,000
team that should contend for the division
title without question. You mentioned the goaltending,

107
00:07:29,199 --> 00:07:30,920
the defense. What really crushed him
last year in the playoffs was the

108
00:07:31,439 --> 00:07:35,319
penalty kill. I think they killed
maybe had fifty percent of the maybe a

109
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,720
little bit over fifty percent of the
power play opportunities for the Evanton Oilers,

110
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,040
So they will be competitive. They
should be in the mix with Vegas and

111
00:07:43,279 --> 00:07:46,279
Vington for the division title. They
could be a dangerous team. I thought

112
00:07:46,319 --> 00:07:48,759
they could be a dangerous team last
season. I really thought they had a

113
00:07:48,839 --> 00:07:53,920
legit shot to get out of the
West at Esta goaltending. Corporsala was great

114
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,920
down the stretch. With respect to
his goaltending, really helped save the secency

115
00:07:58,439 --> 00:08:01,680
the goaltending, if you go back, Compley helped save it early on,

116
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,079
and then they didn't just have enough
faith in Compley getting the job done in

117
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,720
the playoffs, they changed for Covid
Salo. He did a good job,

118
00:08:07,839 --> 00:08:09,160
he was not good in the playoffs, guys. He got beat high a

119
00:08:09,199 --> 00:08:13,439
lot, and with respect to that, goaltending wasn't great in the playoffs.

120
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,560
And then as you mentioned, he
got four million dollars a year from Honor.

121
00:08:16,959 --> 00:08:20,600
There's no way there's two bumped up
against the Caps. So they're going

122
00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:24,240
to go to try cam Talbot.
Nadelkovitch was also an option for them in

123
00:08:24,279 --> 00:08:28,680
the offseason. So it should be
a really entertaining team. And coming out

124
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,800
of the Darrel Sutter era, whether
the team really always struggled to score even

125
00:08:31,839 --> 00:08:33,879
though they win championships. It should
be an exciting team. But yes,

126
00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:37,759
the questions will be goaltending, defense, and just the size of this team.

127
00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:41,000
That's not a very big team,
so that you're not going to have

128
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,919
a league leader in hits or anything
like that. But they can be.

129
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:48,279
They're a contender without question, but
it's now it's time to start winning playoff

130
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,120
rounds. They have to do that. Just making the playoffs. It was

131
00:08:50,159 --> 00:08:54,279
good enough three seasons ago when they
were rebuilding, it's not good enough now.

132
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,720
You really have to go deep in
the playoffs with this team. Because

133
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,960
you mentioned the Dubois trade. There's
no reason why this team can't go deep

134
00:09:00,279 --> 00:09:05,080
with the quality have up front.
Speaking of the quality up front, we

135
00:09:05,159 --> 00:09:09,000
got a start, of course with
Kevin Fiala. He was really great last

136
00:09:09,039 --> 00:09:13,639
season. Jesse and I had him
as tier two guys. I think we

137
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,840
underestivate him him a little bit.
I had him ranked thirty fourth, Jesse

138
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,519
thirty seventh. He ended up sixty
fourth best forward. But in his sixty

139
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:26,200
nine games he did really good stuff. He had twenty three points, forty

140
00:09:26,279 --> 00:09:30,200
nine assist for seventy two points eighty
six point pace. He missed some time

141
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,879
with lower body injuries in March and
then had an undisclosed injury where he missed

142
00:09:33,919 --> 00:09:37,440
playoff time, which was really unfortunate
for the Kings, and some people wondered

143
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,759
if his point per game pace last
season in Minnesota could continue in LA,

144
00:09:41,919 --> 00:09:45,600
and we figured out that yes,
it can. He did very well.

145
00:09:45,879 --> 00:09:50,360
He's got six years left at seven
point eight seventy five million. When you

146
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,200
look at his underlying numbers, yeah, his like expected goals and COURSI isn't

147
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,600
so good. He's a little bit
closer to average though, But that's not

148
00:09:56,639 --> 00:10:01,279
why you have Fialla out there.
He's an excellent offensive thrive and his expected

149
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,759
goals are near the top of the
top five percent in the league. None

150
00:10:03,759 --> 00:10:07,720
of his metrics to me, suggests
regression. His shooting percentages in line,

151
00:10:07,759 --> 00:10:11,679
his PDO is actually a little low, and his points participation where I think

152
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,399
where they should be for an elite
player like him. So, Dennis,

153
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,000
are we in store for another point
per game plus season from Fiala leading the

154
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,879
Kings in point pace? Yeah.
One of the reasons, Victor why they

155
00:10:20,879 --> 00:10:24,240
didn't win the divisions because Fiala did
get hurt. The guy knee on knee

156
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,519
by Andrew Kalkilano late in the season. You mentioned the sixty nine games that

157
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,000
he played him his thirteen that was
a major reason why I didn't come back

158
00:10:31,039 --> 00:10:35,399
into the playoffs. Yes, this
I love this. But this player changed

159
00:10:35,399 --> 00:10:39,360
the paradigm offensively, made them a
much more data je and creative team.

160
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,399
Offensively. Love this player. Now, who does he play with this season

161
00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:46,919
is going to be Duba. If
it's Fiala Duba, that's gonna scare teams

162
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,759
without questions. So this guy's a
creator. He's not a huge goal so

163
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,879
he's not a thirty five goal scorer. But this guy is dynamic. I

164
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,159
love his edgework. He's an exciting
player. So yeah, I think this

165
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:01,360
is a Tier one player for Fantasyls
with the spect to fail. I hope

166
00:11:01,399 --> 00:11:03,919
he plays eight games, and he
had he played eighty two games, he

167
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,120
probably would have broken Copatar's streak of
leading. I think he's led the team

168
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,200
in scoring for sixteen or seventeen years
in a row. Filla would have broken

169
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:16,080
it had he not gotten injured.
So this is a dynamic player. Who

170
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,240
if you're going to play with dude, washerpri even improve upon those numbers he

171
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:26,200
had last season very good. You
can't talk about this team without talking about

172
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:31,480
a Jacopatar. For the sixth straight
year, the captain led the Kings and

173
00:11:31,639 --> 00:11:35,200
scoring, this time with twenty eight
goals, forty eight assists seventy four points

174
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,919
in a full eighty two games.
He ended up the fifty third ranked Fantasy

175
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,879
hockey player. That was added on
to a two shot, one block,

176
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,919
close to one hit per game stat
line and a Lady bingwin. He was

177
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:52,279
fourth in the NHL and assists and
at thirty five average more than twenty minutes

178
00:11:52,279 --> 00:11:54,519
a night. His with or without
you the Wow. He shows an excellent

179
00:11:54,559 --> 00:12:01,879
habit of pulling absolutely everybody he plays
with to an better affected goals for at

180
00:12:01,919 --> 00:12:05,679
five on five and he played with
Kemp Band one wing all year and then

181
00:12:05,759 --> 00:12:09,200
flipped from Fialla to Byfield about halfway
through the year. More on Byfield later.

182
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,639
Although we just talked about Fialla.
The biggest question I have is how

183
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,879
long can this last? If I
read correctly, in the first six seasons

184
00:12:16,919 --> 00:12:22,279
of his thirties, he's missed two
NHL games. That's crazy. He'll be

185
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,759
thirty six when the Avs come to
town on October eleventh to start this season.

186
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:31,200
He's got three more years of contract, one more really big year that

187
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,919
huge contract did he signed, and
then two gently declining years of an extension.

188
00:12:35,159 --> 00:12:39,159
So is this going to be another
vintage on Jay year power or point

189
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,360
per game all the good play iron
Man? Or how long can this thing

190
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,559
last? Tennis? With Dubu in
the middle. Now, it might take

191
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,679
away a little bit from scoring.
I think I think this is in with

192
00:12:48,759 --> 00:12:50,159
respect to your TI years, I
think this is a tier two player because

193
00:12:50,159 --> 00:12:52,759
you mentioned the shots he's not.
He had twenty eight goals, but he

194
00:12:52,799 --> 00:12:56,559
hardly shoots. If he was really
had a shooter's mentality, like a Victor

195
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:01,080
Orvison, he probably would have thirty
ft to forty goals. But he's not

196
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,039
that type of player. He's a
coach's son. He'd rather facilitate than shoot.

197
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,279
And so with respect to that,
yes, Jesse, I expect him

198
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,039
to be at the same level.
I do expect that probably Fialla will be

199
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,399
the leading score on this team.
But this is a point of game player

200
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,279
without questions. Still, I think
there's no degradation in his game, and

201
00:13:16,279 --> 00:13:20,360
you mentioned a lady being I keep
going back to the fact that this guy

202
00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:24,879
played twenty minutes a night, had
all the difficult matchups sometimes don't know would

203
00:13:24,879 --> 00:13:28,080
take them, and had four penalty
minutes. To me, that's the most

204
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,399
stunning statistic ball. How kind of
guy who plays at that level and plays

205
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,720
against all the big matchups only have
four penalty minutes and that was great.

206
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,919
So yeah, I expect the same
for Copatar. I know him really well

207
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,360
known him personally. He's getting in
shape back in Slovenia right now. I'll

208
00:13:41,399 --> 00:13:43,600
come back at the end of probably
August to join the team. But I

209
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:48,200
don't see any slide in his game. I think the expectations with respect to

210
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,200
his production should be along the lowns
so which saw last season for a j.

211
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:56,639
Coopatar. Yeah, he's such a
fun player to watch and another player

212
00:13:56,639 --> 00:14:00,279
that's going to be really fun to
watch for the Kings. They just brought

213
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:05,080
in Pierre Luke. Dubois played seventy
three games with Winnipeg last season. Seventy

214
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,519
one point pace was the highest of
his career. I think he was very

215
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:13,120
motivated to earn an ice contract in
a landing spot outside of Winnipeg. He

216
00:14:13,399 --> 00:14:16,960
obviously wasn't happy there. He had
a slight decline or sorry, I had

217
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,519
a slight increase in a shooting percentage
and pdo so maybe there's some regression there.

218
00:14:20,519 --> 00:14:22,799
But I think there's a big unknown
here. In terms of time on

219
00:14:22,879 --> 00:14:28,919
ice, he was getting eighteen minutes
in Winnipeg almost nineteen. Does he get

220
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,559
that in LA? That was That's
part of the question. I would say.

221
00:14:31,679 --> 00:14:35,600
In terms of block shots, hits
ranked ninetieth his position. I think

222
00:14:35,639 --> 00:14:39,360
in the past he's been a bigger
hitter. I wonder if that returns more

223
00:14:39,399 --> 00:14:43,440
physicality. The big contract suggests a
big role, eight years at eight point

224
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:48,039
five million, And I guess here's
the question, Dennis, what do you

225
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:52,200
expect from peld this season in terms
of role and point pace? Victor for

226
00:14:52,279 --> 00:14:54,519
context, David chasing his player for
a couple of seasons now. They had

227
00:14:54,519 --> 00:15:00,200
a strong interest in him when he
got traded to Winnipeg from Columbus, and

228
00:15:00,279 --> 00:15:03,720
the situation there was if Keklana had
wanted some futures the Kings put together futures

229
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,279
package instead of a proven player like
Patrick Lane, he would have been a

230
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,200
King two years ago. That's how
much they liked this player, and you

231
00:15:11,279 --> 00:15:13,039
mentioned the time, and I think
in a perfect world, what would happen

232
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:18,360
with this team, you should play
Copatas seventeen minutes, the No seventeen minutes,

233
00:15:18,399 --> 00:15:20,799
du Bos seventeen minutes, and Lake
Lazat nine minutes, a nation of

234
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,559
sixteen minutes. So I think he's
an impact player. With that question,

235
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:30,639
he'll be the second line center.
And you mentioned Byfield. If Byfield had

236
00:15:30,639 --> 00:15:33,600
emerged at the center, the steal
would have happened. And I know they

237
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:37,840
are continuing to pump up by Field, and yeah, he's still only twenty

238
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,120
twenty one years old, but he
scored three goals last year, so you

239
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,600
had to do something. Now when
you go Copatar Dubois and then down the

240
00:15:45,639 --> 00:15:48,440
middle, that could beat Edmonton.
So I think that's the goal of this

241
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,320
team, is how can we get
out of the Pacific Division. And you

242
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:56,279
mentioned that you could also reference the
great strength that Vegas has in the middle,

243
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,879
so Dua, I think he is
a second tier player. So I

244
00:15:58,879 --> 00:16:02,399
don't think he'll lead the team scoring, but he should be a thirty thirty

245
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,120
guy without question. And he's gonna
play with Kevin Fiala, who's a facilitator.

246
00:16:06,399 --> 00:16:08,799
He's gonna get shots, He's gonna
get opportunities. The question is who

247
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,200
plays on that line with I assume
because you wouldn't want to break up the

248
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:18,200
Dunnahole line with Arvidson and Trevor Moore, kemp A, Copatar and by Field,

249
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:22,320
So it's probably may be a guy
like Victor Arthur Khalif who might have

250
00:16:22,399 --> 00:16:26,240
to have a three year Kalief's gonna
play with these two guys. This will

251
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:30,320
be the most exciting line on this
team without question when you I can't wait

252
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,840
to see Dubois and Fiala once you
get the training cap, get some chemist

253
00:16:33,919 --> 00:16:37,080
together. This should be a dangerous
line for other teams to defend. So

254
00:16:37,159 --> 00:16:40,960
I think, like I said,
a thirty thirty guy, maybe thirty five,

255
00:16:41,039 --> 00:16:42,399
depending on how much he gets on
the power play. Again, that

256
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,840
power play could be scary. And
we even talked about that power play.

257
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:49,240
You put kemp A, Copatar,
Dubois, Fiala, and Dowdy on a

258
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:53,759
power play that's that's not Edmonton's power
play because nobody's Evanton's power play. But

259
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,840
this should be a top ten power
play next season as well. So I

260
00:16:56,919 --> 00:17:00,840
think really the expectations should be Victor, they gave up what three or four

261
00:17:00,879 --> 00:17:03,720
assets for him. They're paying him
eight point five million dollars a year for

262
00:17:03,839 --> 00:17:08,759
eight years. That's expectangeous. That
goes along with the assets you've traded for

263
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:11,559
and this contract you signed for him. So I expect a big season.

264
00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:15,599
Plus, Dubo's gonna love living in
Los Angeles. They've taken him everywhere.

265
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,319
They took him to a King's game, they took him to a Galaxy game.

266
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,880
They've done a full core press to
just defeat the chatter about him not

267
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,559
being happy and being a malcontent and
being as a cry baby. Look,

268
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:32,039
he played at Winnipeg in Columbus,
right, so when he comes to Los

269
00:17:32,079 --> 00:17:33,920
Angeles there's a lot more to do. He can walk down the streat Manhattan

270
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,519
Beach not get noticed. Like when
you're in Columbus and you're a star player,

271
00:17:37,559 --> 00:17:41,440
you get noticed. Just like Phil
Donau came here on left here.

272
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,599
I think the same thing. Dubost
is a dream to come and play Los

273
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,279
Angeles. I expect a big season. The season from this player. Well,

274
00:17:48,319 --> 00:17:52,640
Adrian Kempey is the next guy to
talk about. I have him ranked

275
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,079
this tier three for next year,
victor tier two. I have a feeling

276
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,640
you might see this little differently than
us. He had a career year regardless

277
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:03,000
of forty one goals, ranked thirteenth
and the NHL and goals tack on twenty

278
00:18:03,039 --> 00:18:04,920
six assists to that. On top
of that, he took three shots a

279
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,200
game through a hit and a half, locked into that top power player,

280
00:18:08,279 --> 00:18:14,319
producing twenty power play points, even
scoring three short handed goals. As mentioned

281
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,720
before, a play next to Kapatar
was a nice gig. He had eighty

282
00:18:17,759 --> 00:18:21,799
plus percent of his minutes with Copatar
for two years running now, and both

283
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,720
his offense and defense greaded out extremely
well in advanced metrics. In that King's

284
00:18:26,759 --> 00:18:30,519
playoff run, he led the squad
with five goals and three assists in those

285
00:18:30,559 --> 00:18:33,160
six games. And all this from
a twenty six year old on a sweet

286
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,079
five point five million dollars deal has
got to be something that Kings are loving.

287
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,200
Why is kemp A still successful in
his current role? And do you

288
00:18:41,519 --> 00:18:45,680
expect this to continue? Okay,
jes so we've talked for about fifteen minutes.

289
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,799
You know me too well already.
Yes, it's just a tier one

290
00:18:47,839 --> 00:18:49,359
player. I think this is a
star. This is a star player.

291
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:53,359
This is an elite score in this
league. Why he emerged was he was

292
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,319
playing out a position for a long
time. He was drafted as a center.

293
00:18:56,519 --> 00:19:00,200
They tried him at center, and
you mentioned the assist. He's just

294
00:19:00,279 --> 00:19:03,680
not a facilitator. He's a shooter. He's a shoot first guy. And

295
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,319
I think what happened was not only
was he playing out a position, but

296
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,680
he was a deferential player. Like
when he went up with Copatar to start,

297
00:19:11,079 --> 00:19:15,440
he always deferred to Anja and last
year that alpha dog mentality took effect

298
00:19:15,519 --> 00:19:19,920
and he's now a leader in the
clubhouse. He talks a lot after games,

299
00:19:21,039 --> 00:19:26,359
even when they lose. He's really
gravitated and grown in the leadership role,

300
00:19:26,559 --> 00:19:29,000
and I think that's helped him on
the ice with respect to his attitude.

301
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,200
He doesn't defer to anybody anymore.
Jesse like, so I expect,

302
00:19:32,759 --> 00:19:36,160
well, do I expect forty one
goals? Maybe not, But I didn't

303
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,720
expect it improvement over thirty five last
year. And I don't think that even

304
00:19:38,839 --> 00:19:42,279
Tom McClelland did, because he had
mentioned when we at the start of last

305
00:19:42,319 --> 00:19:45,920
season we spoke with Todd that he
had a bunch of empty net goals as

306
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,839
well. So let's manage our expectations
on that and he just broke through it.

307
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,640
I think he could easily get to
forty again. He's going to get

308
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,400
the opportunities playing with Copatar Byfield creates
space. He's byefields not get to score

309
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,359
that they wanted to be. I
think he shoots. He's not afraid to

310
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,039
shoot. He's got to shoot the
first mentality I think for you guys,

311
00:20:03,079 --> 00:20:06,839
this is a Tier one player without
question. I would not hesitate the draft

312
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,400
this player high in my fantasy leagues
because I think that this guy will certainly

313
00:20:10,519 --> 00:20:14,319
lead a team in scoring, in
goals, maybe an outside shot at points,

314
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,319
but like you said, he's not
really a facilitator. They want him

315
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,000
to shoot, and it's just he's
put it together. He's always had the

316
00:20:19,079 --> 00:20:22,839
tools. He's finally put it together, and sometimes it takes a player five

317
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,960
to six seasons. Is why it
took Adrian Kempy to put it together.

318
00:20:26,039 --> 00:20:30,160
But again, I think this is
a top level elite scorer in this league

319
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,000
next season as well, because of
who he plays with and because he's in

320
00:20:33,079 --> 00:20:37,319
a featured role. Dang all right, I love that. I love that,

321
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,359
Dennis, This is good talk about
kempe Let's move on to Victor Arvidson.

322
00:20:41,799 --> 00:20:45,240
The Swedish winger is going into the
last season of that seven times four

323
00:20:45,319 --> 00:20:49,279
point two five. He signs long
ago with the Nashville Predators. He turned

324
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,799
thirty on the third to last game
of this past season, and by the

325
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:57,160
last game of the season had notched
twenty six goals, thirty three assists,

326
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:03,200
fifty nine points in seven seven games, managed three shots a game, and

327
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,640
twenty five power play points. He
missed five games on the year. That's

328
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,359
not bad. Three due to illness, two do to the birth of a

329
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,480
child. He missed no more.
He missed more than that number five games

330
00:21:14,519 --> 00:21:18,039
in each of the four preceding years. He missed fifty nine games over the

331
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:22,079
preceding four years if you add him
up so with no shade meant to the

332
00:21:22,279 --> 00:21:26,119
late stage Renee Preds. This is
the best team he's played for in a

333
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,720
few years too. I would say, is he in the long term plans

334
00:21:29,759 --> 00:21:33,200
of these new look Kings as a
top six winger or is and is he

335
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:38,400
going to keep this deployment production for
another year assuming good health? He could

336
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,720
be Jesse because they don't really have
to pay another play at this point.

337
00:21:41,799 --> 00:21:45,319
The one guy they would have had
to pay. Who's a younger player would

338
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,880
have been Gay Villardi who went into
Duwatrey Bofield has an emerged yet, so

339
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,519
even in you're coming out of the
LCA so they can't keep up. They

340
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,960
was chatter that would be the player
that you would trade to create cap space.

341
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,400
I love Victor Robertson because again you
talk about shoot first mental, this

342
00:22:00,559 --> 00:22:03,079
guy loves to shoot. Now,
I think he's a Tier three player with

343
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,880
respect to his point production, but
this guy will shoot and you mention his

344
00:22:07,039 --> 00:22:10,920
health. Remember two seasons will go
in the playoffs. Arburton had a back

345
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,200
issue. I think he had hurt
him in a disk. Missed the entire

346
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,279
PLAYFFS and that was one of the
contributing reasons why they lost. This is

347
00:22:15,319 --> 00:22:18,920
a guy who's a veteran, who
is dependable. I think it can count

348
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,680
on for fifty to sixty points.
Again, I think he could easily replicate

349
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,319
the season he had last season.
He's got great chemistry with them. And

350
00:22:26,319 --> 00:22:30,119
then the question is could they move
him up to play with Fiala and with

351
00:22:30,279 --> 00:22:34,200
Duba. If they do, then
you got to reset your expectations on his

352
00:22:34,519 --> 00:22:37,480
point production is probably going to be
higher, but this is a player I'd

353
00:22:37,519 --> 00:22:41,599
like to see them resign, and
you do need some veteran presence, and

354
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,839
I don't see the next player coming
through that would replace Victor Arburtson. Could

355
00:22:45,839 --> 00:22:48,759
they go into the free edge of
market next season and replace Victor he decides

356
00:22:48,799 --> 00:22:52,200
to walk out, But again,
these are players that because we live in

357
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:56,720
Los Angeles and it's beautiful here and
it's chum winners. Players come here swift,

358
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,920
especially to Swedes like alexand Edlar came
here, love it, continue to

359
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,599
play here, then retired as a
king. Arvitson loves playing here, so

360
00:23:03,759 --> 00:23:07,000
does can't be as well. So
I think he's a tier three player because

361
00:23:07,079 --> 00:23:11,359
the production won't be there from a
He's not a thirty thirty guy, but

362
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,920
I certainly think he can replicate his
stature from last season, and he's a

363
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,599
valuable player of this team. I'd
like to see them and he saw him

364
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,799
on a two to three year deal
because of what you mentioned, he had

365
00:23:19,839 --> 00:23:23,359
an injury history. He's been healthy
and Los Angeles and when you saw him

366
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,920
healthy again, he's an influencer.
I like this. I like the chemistry

367
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,839
he has on that line, so
I'd like to see Victor arvitson stay in

368
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,200
Los Angeles, and I do think
that he can equal his production from last

369
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:40,880
season. He make a good point
about I talk about top six, but

370
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:45,319
this is a team with three really
good centers because Phil Denaut is no joke.

371
00:23:45,759 --> 00:23:48,319
He seems to have been largely as
advertised since they signed him away from

372
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:52,599
the Cup runner up Halves a couple
of years ago. Another thirty something Kings

373
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:57,400
are not necessarily that young. Even
after the semi rebuild, Denaut netted eighteen

374
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,839
goals assisted on thirty six. That's
fifty four points in eighty two games.

375
00:24:02,279 --> 00:24:06,319
Like a lot of centerman his forte
is definitely not volume shooting. He's got

376
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,960
other people for that, but two
shots a hit in a block every game

377
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:15,400
makes for decent peripheral stats. Plays
well on the power play, He eats

378
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,839
minute shorthanded only on Jacopatar had more
time on ice on the short handed end

379
00:24:21,279 --> 00:24:25,480
as a forward. It denotes a
guy who definitely probably is better for an

380
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:30,039
NHL team that's winning than a fantasy
manager who is looking for points and stuff

381
00:24:30,079 --> 00:24:33,759
like that. But do you see
him continuing to lockdown this middle sixth centerman

382
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:38,440
role for the foreseeable future or is
pld's arrival maybe going to push him down.

383
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,160
What do you make of Philip Dino's
future? Well, there was some

384
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:45,680
regression last year Jesse on his goal
production, which wasn't surprising. He had

385
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,279
a great first season here. I
think getting out of Montreal and not having

386
00:24:48,319 --> 00:24:53,039
to answer questions in French thirty times
after games, probably he had some relief

387
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:57,440
on that he on a championship team. And philm may not like me to

388
00:24:57,519 --> 00:25:03,000
say this, he's a three Sea, but to have Copatar, Dubois and

389
00:25:03,839 --> 00:25:07,079
Denos your three seed, that's as
good as any. To be honest with

390
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,319
you, right, you can't get
about that fills a quality player, a

391
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,880
leader in the room, great defensive
player. And what it does, going

392
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:18,279
back to Dubois, it gives Dubois
cover because Dubos never gonna have to take

393
00:25:18,319 --> 00:25:22,519
a tough defensive zone face off with
both Copetar and Denou. But Copatar has

394
00:25:22,559 --> 00:25:26,640
won Selkies, Denote could win a
Selkie at some point, so it also

395
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,599
gives comfort Dubo out there he can
concentrate on offense. Phil's a great player,

396
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,119
but I think from a you're right, from a production standpoint, is

397
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:37,319
he a hydra fantasy pick. No
way, he's not. He's just not

398
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,400
that type of player. But he's
in the goal. With the spect to

399
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:44,480
winning a championship, you need a
player like Phil Denot on your third line

400
00:25:44,799 --> 00:25:48,640
to chip in some goals, timely
goals, play great defense, work on

401
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,519
the penalty kill and that. So
his role will change a little bit,

402
00:25:51,599 --> 00:25:53,200
and I think Phil will say,
Okay, great, you don't need me

403
00:25:53,319 --> 00:25:56,960
to be a twenty five let's say
thirty five player this year. If he

404
00:25:57,039 --> 00:26:02,640
gets seventeen and I don't seventeen and
thirty on a third line, that's going

405
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,960
to be a really good offensive team. So yeah, Phil is not a

406
00:26:06,079 --> 00:26:10,039
high fantasy pick for me, but
again, an important part of this team

407
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:15,319
as they try to go forward in
the playoffs, especially important, as you

408
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:19,000
mentioned just all around defensively helps your
goalies, helps everyone else, helps the

409
00:26:19,079 --> 00:26:22,599
depth as you mentioned, scary down
the middle. With those three, Wow,

410
00:26:23,519 --> 00:26:26,640
let's move on to some of the
more perpheral guys you already mentioned them.

411
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,519
I want to pose you a point
to pick him here, and that's

412
00:26:29,599 --> 00:26:33,880
quinnin Byfield and Arthur Kaliev, two
young players that I've been excited about for

413
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,839
a while. Byfield as you mentioned
hasn't quite come along as a center.

414
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,880
It's been nice to see him in
the top six as a wing, though

415
00:26:41,279 --> 00:26:45,240
thirty four point pace playing with some
of the top sixers there over fourteen minutes

416
00:26:45,279 --> 00:26:49,039
a night seems like he might have
the edge, but Kaliev improved his point

417
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:53,680
pace from year one at twenty eight
to forty one point pace, still only

418
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,480
getting under twelve minutes a night,
though, so depends on the role I

419
00:26:56,559 --> 00:27:02,400
assume for these two. Byfield seems
a little bit better defensively, CALLI I

420
00:27:02,799 --> 00:27:04,920
maybe with a better shot. I
don't know what do you think between these

421
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,160
two? Who would you take?
If you want it a little bit more

422
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:11,160
point production? Quintin Bifield has to
score more than three goals next season,

423
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:17,480
and that was his production playing with
Kempay and Copatar and the Kings have propped

424
00:27:17,519 --> 00:27:18,640
this player up, and I get
it. He's the second overall pick.

425
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,039
You're not gonna look he's not a
bust, but he's got to score more

426
00:27:22,039 --> 00:27:26,079
than three goals. And you're right
about Artie. Artie when he's on the

427
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:30,319
ice, is a productive player.
He shoots the puck a lot he can,

428
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,359
He finds the back of the power
play. But as you mentioned,

429
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,160
Victor, he's not a good defensive
player. He's a one dimensional player,

430
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,079
and that's a challenge with Arthur Calliff. If he's going to emerge and be

431
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:41,880
a top six player, he's got
to be way better defensively. Because you

432
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,960
watch the playoffs, he was a
scratch, not because he couldn't produce,

433
00:27:45,079 --> 00:27:48,480
because he couldn't play. He couldn't
put the other side of the ice.

434
00:27:48,839 --> 00:27:52,640
From a point production standpoint, I
just think that by default, Quintin's gonna

435
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,160
get more ice time. He's going
to play on the top line or whatever

436
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,319
you want to call it. I
don't know you could argue anyone in the

437
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,480
street linsco be a top line.
He's gonna play more. He's gonna play

438
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:06,319
sixteen minutes a night. I think
already he's only gonna play probably twelve unless

439
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,279
he gets up, as we mentioned, into that role where he's playing with

440
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,319
Duboin Fiala, and maybe it's a
game changer for him. Right now,

441
00:28:11,319 --> 00:28:15,279
I'd say Quentin Byfield, he's gonna
be featured. He's gonna grow. The

442
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,160
problem Victim with Quintin is that I
don't know what his shot is like when

443
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:22,039
you watch him play they say he
does all the little things really well.

444
00:28:22,279 --> 00:28:23,960
He goes into corners, he creates
space for the other two players. But

445
00:28:25,039 --> 00:28:26,839
when I watched them, what kind
of a shot does he have? It

446
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,359
looks like he has a pretty decent
risk shot, but he never shoots because

447
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,119
he's not in a position to shoots. That's some of the learning. And

448
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,680
he has a great role model and
a guy like the president of the team,

449
00:28:37,799 --> 00:28:40,480
Luke Roboti, who is never the
fastest skater, was never the most

450
00:28:40,519 --> 00:28:42,640
talented player, but he found the
spots on the ice to go to get

451
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,920
the shot off. And that's what
Quintin Byfield has to do. So I

452
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,640
think he'll scored more than three goals
on this team next season. He better

453
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,279
look at the team. How could
he not get the opportunities? And that's

454
00:28:53,319 --> 00:28:56,319
the one thing I think And the
Kings will not admit this, but I

455
00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:00,359
gotta think that they thought he would
be like the two Sea, the one

456
00:29:00,359 --> 00:29:03,359
seed of the future. So when
you go trade for du Bois and you

457
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,240
give him an eight year contract,
now dual could play left free. I

458
00:29:06,319 --> 00:29:10,319
think there was just a general dissatisfaction
with Quentin Byfield's production, like he should

459
00:29:10,319 --> 00:29:12,799
be better right now, so from
a point standpoint, I think by default

460
00:29:14,279 --> 00:29:18,640
Quinton would score more than Arthur Khaliev, but again it's going to be close.

461
00:29:18,799 --> 00:29:22,119
I don't expect a breakout season from
either one of these players, more

462
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,039
so Quintin because where he is and
maybe he's got a little bit more confidence.

463
00:29:25,319 --> 00:29:26,960
But already, if he gets a
top six roll or a ministers role,

464
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,480
he'll produce as a fantasy player because
they'll score power play goals and he'll

465
00:29:30,519 --> 00:29:33,640
get his shot off. That's the
one thing about him. And granted he's

466
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:38,480
not Altovetkin. I know people trying
to draw that parallel with respectively shot I'm

467
00:29:38,519 --> 00:29:41,920
like, slow down, this guy's
gonna break the Oh he's gonna break the

468
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,200
goal scoring record, not Arthur Kalief. It's gonna be interesting. And Jesse's

469
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,839
one point. People was talked about
the King's prospect pool and how great it

470
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,640
is, and it's a it's not
a young team. They traded away a

471
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,799
lot of those guys. Now the
one guy that might breakthrough would be would

472
00:29:56,799 --> 00:30:00,799
be brand Clark this season, But
again I would favor Arthur Callier from a

473
00:30:00,839 --> 00:30:04,960
points production standpoint. Next season.
Yeah, great point, and I have

474
00:30:06,079 --> 00:30:08,480
definitely thought that too, about Byfield
being the one or two C of the

475
00:30:08,559 --> 00:30:11,799
future. I've said this on the
podcast, but it certainly seems like that

476
00:30:12,039 --> 00:30:15,200
is not trending in that direction.
And you're right about the shot. He

477
00:30:15,319 --> 00:30:18,119
reminds me a little bit of like
Joe Thornton. I think Joe Thornton could

478
00:30:18,119 --> 00:30:22,000
have scored thirty plus goals if he
wanted to, but he just never wanted

479
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:26,799
to shoot. He hilariously scored probably
five to ten goals of his career where

480
00:30:26,799 --> 00:30:30,519
he really didn't want to shoot,
but the net was just wide open so

481
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,400
he had to. But yeah,
it'll be interesting to see what happens between

482
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,160
those two and really good points on
those. Let's switch over to the D

483
00:30:37,359 --> 00:30:41,039
now we got to talk, of
course about Drew Dowdy. Another solid season

484
00:30:41,119 --> 00:30:45,119
for the now thirty three year old. It looked a little bit like Sean

485
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,000
Dursey was going to cut into his
production, and he did for a while

486
00:30:48,039 --> 00:30:52,200
there. Now he's in Arizona.
Fifty three point pace for Dowdy is around

487
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:56,480
what we've been expecting from him.
Nine goals, forty three assists is how

488
00:30:56,519 --> 00:31:00,519
he got there. Twenty seven power
play points is really fantastic, and with

489
00:31:00,759 --> 00:31:03,799
the block shots, hits. He's
definitely a tier one guy in my book.

490
00:31:03,839 --> 00:31:07,039
I had him ranked sixteenth last year
Jesse ten. He ended up at

491
00:31:07,079 --> 00:31:11,200
twenty first for defenseman. Solid,
solid, top twenty five guy for sure.

492
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,759
None of his underlyings are really out
of line for me. Shooting percentage,

493
00:31:15,799 --> 00:31:18,519
pdo IP or all either in line
or low, So I'm happy with

494
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:25,000
that. His bash fifty six for
his position. That's also pretty solid for

495
00:31:25,079 --> 00:31:27,640
someone who gets all the power play
points that he does four years at that

496
00:31:27,799 --> 00:31:32,960
hefty eleven million in a cap league, you're probably not going there, but

497
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,400
maybe someone can retain money on him, and he'd be happy to have Drew

498
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,559
Dawddy in that case. But looking
at some of his underlyings, his offense

499
00:31:40,599 --> 00:31:42,440
seems like it's fallen off a little
bit at even strength, but still really

500
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,599
good on the power play. So
Dennis, I don't really see any reason

501
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,079
why Daddy can't keep doing what he's
doing. Do you expect status quote from

502
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,799
him? I do. He's healthy, he's a horse. She's gonna play

503
00:31:52,839 --> 00:31:55,240
the minutes. He's not. Look, he's not Eric Carlson. He's not

504
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,039
gonna score one hundred points. He's
going to get around fifty points, and

505
00:31:57,079 --> 00:32:00,039
his shot was a little bit more
accurate. I always look like when Drew

506
00:32:00,119 --> 00:32:02,640
Line's off for a slapshot, I'm
like, okay, somebody watch out because

507
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,359
it's not going to hit the net, and I hit one of the players

508
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,279
or the backboards. So he was
a little better accuracy last season. But

509
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:13,279
Drew's consistent, and I think he
can come in that fifty point level eight

510
00:32:13,359 --> 00:32:15,519
to ten goals next season. Yeah, he'll be a not a mountstar on

511
00:32:15,559 --> 00:32:19,119
a power play, but his production
will come through the power play. He's

512
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,720
not that great enough a five on
five offensive threat anymore, not that he

513
00:32:22,799 --> 00:32:25,119
ever was, to be honest with
him, he was. He played what

514
00:32:25,319 --> 00:32:29,519
I think the second most minute next
season last season. So that's what you

515
00:32:29,599 --> 00:32:32,039
do. You get consistent play from
Drew, you get a super competitive player.

516
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,359
You get a leader in the room, like I was not afraid to

517
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,480
talk, which is the best part
of my job talking to do daddy.

518
00:32:37,759 --> 00:32:40,359
And he's a true leader on the
side. So they can't win a championship

519
00:32:40,359 --> 00:32:45,400
without him. Is he look?
Is he worth eleven million dollars a year

520
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:49,799
in a tight cap era. No, But they signed the contract so many

521
00:32:49,839 --> 00:32:52,920
seasons ago when they didn't think that
they would still be at eighty three million

522
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:54,440
dollars on a cap. But again, yeah, I think a tier two

523
00:32:54,480 --> 00:33:00,519
player at this point because his production
won't be astronomical. But again I don't

524
00:33:00,559 --> 00:33:02,839
see any regression in his game from
an offensive standpoint. It's certainly a safe

525
00:33:02,839 --> 00:33:09,079
pick when you go down your fantasy
teams this season. Let's go further down

526
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:14,960
the right handed defenseman here and talk
about Matt Roy. He had a decent

527
00:33:15,079 --> 00:33:19,160
portfolio stats for the fantasy player last
year two blocks, hit and half shot

528
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,799
and half and a point every three
contest. Looking at Denot's numbers, I

529
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,240
noticed that when he and Roy were
on the ice at the same time,

530
00:33:25,319 --> 00:33:30,359
it was a cheek code. For
some reason, opposition expected goals dropped like

531
00:33:30,519 --> 00:33:34,519
a rock, while expectations for the
King's spiked. That's just a little weird

532
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,559
thing. Anyway, Drew Daddy gets
the power play time on ice on this

533
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,480
team. But now Dursey's gone,
there's a little bit of difference in the

534
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:45,920
defensive corps here. A few candidates
maybe could ease into a little bit more

535
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:50,200
playtime. Do you think that Roy
is going to maintain that similar role in

536
00:33:50,319 --> 00:33:53,720
production and all those physical stats we
love in the next year, or do

537
00:33:53,799 --> 00:33:58,759
you foresee some sort of a change. Yeah, now he's an underrited player,

538
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,359
Jesse. He was a top two
any shop blocker last season, and

539
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,400
this team doesn't block a lot of
shots. They're not an over They're not

540
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,320
a big hitting team. I think
they've had two players in the top hundred

541
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,199
in hits. And he's got to
think nine goals, which is surprising to

542
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:14,000
me. Matt never scored in this
and again, this is a situation where

543
00:34:14,039 --> 00:34:16,039
a player grew into his position,
So I think this is probably for you

544
00:34:16,119 --> 00:34:19,239
guys. I probably a tier two
player, to be honest with him,

545
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,360
So I think the goals will be
there. He might get an opportunity to

546
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,079
play on the power play. But
he's not the fastest skater he I thought

547
00:34:25,119 --> 00:34:28,559
he was always a stay at home
defenseman. I remember he drafted him in

548
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,920
the seventh round from Michigan Tech.
What great value they got for him.

549
00:34:31,159 --> 00:34:35,400
Steady player, that's what this player
is like. Is he going to lead

550
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,960
this team in scoring? No?
He was. He as good an offensive

551
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:39,679
player as Sean Jersey. No.
I was surprised at shot. He's got

552
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:45,079
a pretty heavy shot, so I
think a second tier defenseman that will block

553
00:34:45,159 --> 00:34:47,599
shots, play a lot of minutes. But I expect more of the same

554
00:34:47,639 --> 00:34:52,400
from Matt Roy because again he's not
called on to do the work that dirty

555
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,880
has to do. I think the
second unit power plays probably been to the

556
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:59,760
fault of maybe Brand Clark, who's
who saw in the YEO. He's done

557
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,840
amazing things. The question is can
he played this level? Can he played

558
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:06,360
defensively? But Matt would be a
nice safe pick in the late rounds because

559
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:07,599
I think he's an under the radar. When you think of the Kings,

560
00:35:07,679 --> 00:35:12,199
you think of Dowdy, Anderson,
Gabrikov, maybe Brand Clark, you don't

561
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,960
really think of Matt Roy. He
doesn't come top to mind when you think

562
00:35:15,039 --> 00:35:19,159
of fantasy selections, but could be
a solid late round pick for some players

563
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,159
on the left side. Let me
throw two of Matsha at the same time

564
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:27,480
and maybe get a pick him out
of you, Mikey Anderson and Vladistov Gabrikov.

565
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,519
Gabrikov watch was a long concern last
year. We were talking about that

566
00:35:30,639 --> 00:35:34,559
guy for a very long time coming
at the trade deadline, and you have

567
00:35:34,639 --> 00:35:37,039
to admit he worked out just fine
for the Kings as far as I'm concerned,

568
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:42,000
goals scored while he was on the
ice tilted seventy to thirty in the

569
00:35:42,079 --> 00:35:45,599
favor of the Kings. And if
you set the minimum time on ice at

570
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:50,599
three hundred minutes at five on five
Gabrikov when he was on the Kings,

571
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:55,599
that King's debut placed eighty or eighth
of six hundred and seventy two skaters in

572
00:35:55,719 --> 00:36:00,480
that percentage metric in terms of outscoring
the opposition while in the ice, and

573
00:36:00,639 --> 00:36:02,920
he signed it to your deal.
Anderson assigned for eight more years. He

574
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,679
did that mid season and both these
guys scored around twenty points. Anderson has

575
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:12,440
the better peripheral stats, the better
bash. What do you make of Mikey

576
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,039
Anderson and Gabra Kober? Are these
guys going to be mainstays for the long

577
00:36:15,159 --> 00:36:19,480
term for this team? Enton better
be because he signed an eight year deal

578
00:36:19,519 --> 00:36:22,599
a nice price. It's a funny
thing. Mike Anderson is the biggest guy,

579
00:36:22,679 --> 00:36:24,719
but he was top hundred in hits
when he was in the top hundred

580
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,679
and hits along with Gunstons. But
from a production standpoint, look, gaff

581
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,079
came in and really helped save the
season. They had no depth on the

582
00:36:31,199 --> 00:36:35,840
left side, they're playing Alexander Edlar. Over there, they're playing Sean Dursey,

583
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,119
who's a right defenseman on the left
side. This guy helped save their

584
00:36:38,119 --> 00:36:40,800
season, helped them get in the
playoffs, a great guy in the room,

585
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:45,320
a funny guy in the room.
Mesh as well. Interestingly, he

586
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,719
took a two year deal so he
could sign an extension after this season.

587
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:52,079
Loves Los Angeles. I think a
full season. People you mentioned at the

588
00:36:52,119 --> 00:36:55,719
top about goaltending, people forget that
Gave only played in the regular season.

589
00:36:55,760 --> 00:37:00,239
I think twenty games for this team. Having a full season of Gavrakoff will

590
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,599
certainly help this team defensively. He
should be a better point producer. Mikey

591
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,840
is a solid kid, a great
leader in the room. Well, we're

592
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,239
a letter in Los Angeles. At
some point, he's just not an offensive

593
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:13,239
player, so he'll help you with
the hits. But that's a late round

594
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,639
pick for Anderson. I just think
the better player, the more well rounded

595
00:37:15,679 --> 00:37:19,559
player, is Gavrikoff at this point
in time, and I think in the

596
00:37:19,599 --> 00:37:22,719
next season, giving a full season, will Sentators will be the more productive

597
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:27,880
offensive player as well. Well.
You mentioned earlier a little bit about brand

598
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,599
Clark, and I just wanted to
ask you straight up, do you think

599
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:32,840
what do you think the chances are
he plays more than eight NHL games this

600
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:37,960
season ninety nine point nine percent.
This is the year for Brant Clark,

601
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:43,360
because the other option would be Jordan
Spence. I just think you put Grant

602
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,639
Clark on the third pair on the
right side and let him go and let

603
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:47,719
him do his sting and let him
grow into it. He has played,

604
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:52,519
he played what nine nine games last
season? Didn't look out of place?

605
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:57,159
Wasn't the dominant player obviously that he
is in the LHL. He's gonna play

606
00:37:57,199 --> 00:38:00,320
this season without going He's gonna make
the roster. He's gonna play. He

607
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:01,800
may not play every game, Victor, but he's going to play a lot

608
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:06,559
of games. And this is a
player and I know that they've draw parallels

609
00:38:06,599 --> 00:38:09,679
to maybe a Dowdy because he's precocious
and he's a great offensive player. Not

610
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,119
there yet on him, but I
certainly think he will be part of the

611
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,360
unless there's an injury. I think
he's on that top six. Defensively.

612
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:20,039
You might see George Spence come and
spell him sometimes. But I think this

613
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,639
is maybe not a breakthrough season.
But if you look at the tools that

614
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:27,760
he has on this team, if
he quarterbacks a second unit of power play,

615
00:38:28,159 --> 00:38:30,320
he's gonna get some points. So
but I definitely think he's going to

616
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,360
play this season in the NHL Victor. It's time for brand Clark. They've

617
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:35,719
waited on this player, and now
I think it's time. I think the

618
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,400
team is good enough to give this
player cover where if he's playing on a

619
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:42,960
third unit and he makes some mistakes
defensively, they can cover for him.

620
00:38:43,199 --> 00:38:46,719
But I do expect him in Los
Angeles this season. That's exciting for everyone

621
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:51,760
who's been waiting for that to happen. I definitely have been too. Yeah,

622
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:53,679
that's great to hear, and I
agree. They definitely have some good

623
00:38:53,880 --> 00:39:00,800
defenseman that they compare with him to
help mask any defensive inefficiencies. Let's move

624
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,800
over to the goalies now. The
Kings gave up the fourth ranked expected goals

625
00:39:05,079 --> 00:39:07,559
against for sixty two point three eight
according to Evolving Hockey, but conceded the

626
00:39:07,679 --> 00:39:13,679
seventeenth actual goals. Not great,
but big change for them as the first

627
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,960
season since the eight o nine season
that Jonathan Quick won't play well at least

628
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,800
seventeen games that was his low mark, but he's been the mainstay there.

629
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,679
Of course, cal Peterson gone and
now it looks like a tannem of Phoenix,

630
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:28,440
Copley and Cam Talbot. So let's
talk first about Copley, since he

631
00:39:28,599 --> 00:39:31,320
was there last season, played twenty
seven games in eighteen nineteen with Washington and

632
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:37,679
then since then played two games over
three seasons before playing thirty seven this past

633
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:42,159
year. What a crazy trajectory for
him. His goal save above expected this

634
00:39:42,199 --> 00:39:45,519
season was nine point two six that's
great at even strength Delta Fenwick point nine

635
00:39:45,559 --> 00:39:50,000
percent and he had a really strong
record in the regular season. One year

636
00:39:50,079 --> 00:39:52,760
left at that one point five million
dollar nice contract. It seems like the

637
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:57,039
Kings believe Copley is their man,
at least it seems that way at least

638
00:39:57,039 --> 00:40:00,119
according to the contract as well.
Is that true? Are they gonna potentially

639
00:40:00,159 --> 00:40:02,639
bring in someone else? I guess
is the first question? And if not,

640
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:07,000
what do we expect from Compley this
season? Dennis Victor In the big

641
00:40:07,079 --> 00:40:09,440
picture, they want Eric Partillo to
emerge, who was going to be playing

642
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:14,119
in the Ontario League in the HL
this season, came out of Michigan a

643
00:40:14,159 --> 00:40:16,800
big Now, the King's really never
had big goaltenders like Jonathan Quick. Look

644
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,800
he's the goat right in Los Angeles. He's gonna retire. They're gonna put

645
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:22,719
his jersey up to the rafts.
Maybe get a statue, whatever, because

646
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:27,239
everybody gets a statue in Los Angeles. No disrespect on my buddy, Dustin

647
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:31,199
Brown. That's the big picture.
So this is a transitional period goaltending wise

648
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:36,039
for the Kings. Copley did nothing. Look, Copley helped save the season.

649
00:40:36,119 --> 00:40:39,360
Lessons you mentioned about Jonathan Quick not
being here anymore. Look, Jonathan

650
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:43,679
Quick played its way out of Los
Angeles. He wasn't good. Cal Peterson

651
00:40:44,159 --> 00:40:46,679
lost confidence somewhere down the road,
was playing in the HL last season.

652
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:51,159
It was a bad contract for Rob
Blake to give an unproven player five million

653
00:40:51,199 --> 00:40:53,599
dollars a year for three seasons.
Coppy came in early and helped save the

654
00:40:53,639 --> 00:40:55,880
season, but they didn't have a
confidence enough in them to think that he

655
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,360
could lead them in the playoffs,
so they went and got corpus Aalo.

656
00:41:00,039 --> 00:41:02,599
Think the same thing applies this season. I think it's a forty forty split

657
00:41:02,639 --> 00:41:06,880
at this point in time. And
the thing about Todd, unless you go

658
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:10,159
on a real big streak, he's
probably going to alternate goaltenders. So do

659
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:14,800
I think that Phoenix Compley would play
sixty games for this team. Absolutely not.

660
00:41:15,119 --> 00:41:17,239
Do I think that Cam Talbot,
who's played for Todd in the past

661
00:41:17,599 --> 00:41:21,800
and they might be a connection there
for miss Evington days. I think that

662
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,599
Cam Talbot could have emerges the number
one. It's a big question mark.

663
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:29,400
Cam had a bad season in Ottawa
last season. The two prior ones were

664
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,880
pretty good. And here's the thing. If we've talked about their offense for

665
00:41:34,199 --> 00:41:37,159
what forty minutes, If the offense
is as we expected, they don't need

666
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:42,559
they don't need Vasilevski, they don't
need to start get they need a nine

667
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,880
ten, nine fifteen guy save percentage
wise, could one of these two guys

668
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:50,320
do it? Yeah? Could it
be Phoenix Company? Sure? I would

669
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,800
have went the Copley in the playoffs, and I know that Corporsala played well

670
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,599
down the stretch, but again he
got beat high a lot in the playoffs,

671
00:41:55,599 --> 00:42:00,519
and so they decide to move on. Phoenix could emerges them number one.

672
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:04,199
But I think at this point before
the season starts, you gotta think

673
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:07,079
this is a forty forty split net
with respect at a time that the two

674
00:42:07,119 --> 00:42:14,000
players will play with the specta Copley
and Ken Talbot. Yeah, really great

675
00:42:14,039 --> 00:42:17,480
stuff there. I also, just
the record have been a long standing corpus

676
00:42:17,519 --> 00:42:22,920
Allo skeptic. But anyways, he
definitely looked good for a while there in

677
00:42:22,079 --> 00:42:27,199
LA. You talked about Talbot already. I just wanted to also remind people

678
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,000
that David Riddick is there. I
don't expect much from him. I don't

679
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:34,559
know if you do, But do
you see anything different there with the goalie

680
00:42:34,639 --> 00:42:37,519
situation aside from what you just said. No, I think Riddic will be

681
00:42:37,599 --> 00:42:42,119
in the O in the HL as
a tandem. It's the veteran presence behind

682
00:42:42,199 --> 00:42:45,079
Portillo helped titor him probably on the
ice as well. But I think,

683
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:49,559
look, if David Riddick's going to
be on the team next season, something

684
00:42:49,599 --> 00:42:52,920
went wrong with either Copley or Talbot. It's a nice insurance policy. If

685
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:57,480
he's playing for the King's Victor like
then something went wrong and that's not a

686
00:42:57,519 --> 00:43:00,920
good sign because I think that that's
why he's there. So it's an insurance

687
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:02,559
policy. Don't expect a lot.
Short of an injury, he would be

688
00:43:02,599 --> 00:43:07,320
the first call off unless Portello really
shows himself well in the early season,

689
00:43:07,679 --> 00:43:10,679
but British has ticketed for Ontario on
the HL and I think he played at

690
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:15,679
the entire season showed up something happening
to the first two goalies. All right,

691
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:20,639
Dennis, this has been some great
information on the Los Angeles Kings,

692
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,519
the team everybody would be watching very
closely next year. How do we closely

693
00:43:23,639 --> 00:43:28,039
watch all the work that you'll be
doing out there and keep up with your

694
00:43:28,079 --> 00:43:30,360
content this coming year. I'll be
a challenge, Jesse, because I'm doing

695
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:34,320
a lot now, just kidding.
You can go to the fourth Period dot

696
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:37,960
com is where I right. Probably
every seven to ten days, I'll do

697
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:40,760
a column on the Kings Serious XM. We do the Hot Stove that goes

698
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:45,519
on from eleven to one Eastern on
Saturdays. I also sit in once a

699
00:43:45,559 --> 00:43:47,880
week with Steve Kolias on the Powerplay, which is three to six to Eastern.

700
00:43:49,119 --> 00:43:52,519
Also do Kings of the podcast so
that which is a King's driven podcast

701
00:43:52,599 --> 00:43:55,480
with my partner John Hoven, the
Mayor. That's a lot of great content

702
00:43:55,559 --> 00:43:59,159
there as well. So I think
that basically covers that. I do radio

703
00:43:59,159 --> 00:44:01,920
appearances around with America, some TV
spots as well for V san and some

704
00:44:02,199 --> 00:44:06,360
with Scottie Farrell. So I'm not
hiding. If you guys want to find

705
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:07,559
my content, it's going to be
pretty easy to find. Next season,

706
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:12,599
Tremenis, we will definitely be doing
that. Thank you so much for coming

707
00:44:12,639 --> 00:44:15,960
on today. I was great being
a podcast. Jesse and Victor appreciate the

708
00:44:15,079 --> 00:44:27,280
time. Wilson, that's good.
Fired passed off my goodness. Walk go

709
00:44:27,519 --> 00:44:35,679
with a cat quick grab. Now
it's your weekly goalie talk with Cats Silverman,

710
00:44:36,159 --> 00:44:42,400
Cat's instincts. Time now to get
Cat's instincts on the Los Angeles Kings

711
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:46,400
goalies. Cat Silverman joining us from
in goldmag and we have to we were

712
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:52,960
talking about this beforehand and this system
is not great. They didn't make a

713
00:44:52,039 --> 00:44:55,719
really good move though, And I
would say and acquiring Eric Portillo, who's

714
00:44:55,760 --> 00:45:00,519
the main guy, the only guy
that we're going to talk about system,

715
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:06,440
the lone savior. He's a six
foot six, twenty twenty five pound twenty

716
00:45:06,559 --> 00:45:09,320
nineteen third round pick by Buffalo.
He was traded to Los Angeles in March.

717
00:45:09,599 --> 00:45:12,880
It sounds like they weren't going to
sign him or be able to sign

718
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,559
him, and then he signed with
LA. Played a lot at Michigan for

719
00:45:15,599 --> 00:45:19,719
the last two years, who was
a really strong team based on some of

720
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,480
the other prospects that they have had, and from what I heard, his

721
00:45:22,639 --> 00:45:25,920
time was up and down there and
this season will be great to see him

722
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:30,800
playing professionally for the first time.
His equivalency is not great. It's on

723
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:36,199
the teens in the mid teens,
like fourteen percent. Most of the guys

724
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,079
that he looks like are either bus
or average at best. He does have

725
00:45:39,119 --> 00:45:46,960
a nineteen YEMI comp who had a
crazy low equivalency was an incredible company.

726
00:45:47,519 --> 00:45:52,079
Really okay, so tell us this
system is thin Portillo. For Portillo has

727
00:45:52,159 --> 00:45:55,039
to be the clear favorite, but
what do your instincts tell you about him?

728
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:01,920
So initially when Buffalo drafted him,
I was like, Yes, finally

729
00:46:02,119 --> 00:46:09,000
this team that desperately needs goaltending has
drafted someone who can go through the collegiate

730
00:46:09,079 --> 00:46:13,239
system and then step in at the
NHL level. This is perfect for them.

731
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:19,000
And then they ended up getting Dylan
garrind from I believe it was Tampa

732
00:46:19,119 --> 00:46:24,039
Bay in a trade and really didn't
have a spot I think for Portillo,

733
00:46:24,119 --> 00:46:28,119
who it sounds like wasn't going to
sign there anyway, So they ended up

734
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:32,320
trading those rights, and boy did
LA need it. I think it's incredibly

735
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:39,519
funny that the Anaheim Ducks ended up
trading for a wealth of young goaltending talent

736
00:46:39,639 --> 00:46:44,800
and they have every good goalie prospect
in the league, and then the King

737
00:46:45,079 --> 00:46:47,679
said, who needs a goalie?
We have Jonathan Quick who they don't anymore,

738
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:52,719
so we're going to see how things
go for them. I liked Portillo's

739
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:57,320
game. It's surprising to hear that
he has such a low percentage there,

740
00:46:58,199 --> 00:47:02,440
just because I thought his game was
a lot of fun to watch. He's

741
00:47:02,679 --> 00:47:07,719
huge. He's like six foot six, two hundred and twenty pounds. He's

742
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:12,559
truly like Ben Bishop sized, and
he's not as slow as a lot of

743
00:47:12,679 --> 00:47:15,239
guys who are his size. He's
not as inflexible as a lot of guys

744
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:20,199
his size, especially once you get
into those guys who are over six two

745
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,559
and well over two hundred pounds.
Sometimes those guys have trouble with agility and

746
00:47:23,639 --> 00:47:28,840
with being able to move laterally and
up from their knees with the kind of

747
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:32,559
speed that they need at the NHL
level. I feel like he always had

748
00:47:32,599 --> 00:47:37,719
just a really consistent baseline to his
game, so it's surprising to hear that

749
00:47:38,599 --> 00:47:45,360
he's not just looking at the underlying
numbers as likely to be a success.

750
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:52,480
I do think that the Anti Miami
comparable there is hilarious because Anti Miami is

751
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:59,320
one of the wildest goaltenders to watch, outside of maybe Alex Staylock, who

752
00:48:00,519 --> 00:48:02,119
you never knew where he was going
to go or what he was going to

753
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:06,960
do, And you could guess what
Miami was going to do, but only

754
00:48:07,079 --> 00:48:09,960
one out of every four stops he
made were predictable. Orchilla is a little

755
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:15,840
more consistent than that. I think
he's a little more calm. I do

756
00:48:15,159 --> 00:48:22,280
wonder if as he continued to play, he started to look a little predictable,

757
00:48:22,639 --> 00:48:24,440
which might be why because he did
have good numbers when he first came

758
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:28,800
over to North America and was playing
I believe it was in the USHL,

759
00:48:29,599 --> 00:48:31,239
and it looked like he was putting
up some pretty good numbers there. And

760
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:36,639
then he went to college and yeah, his first two years at the University

761
00:48:36,679 --> 00:48:38,960
of Michigan he had obviously the first
year, he only had seven games.

762
00:48:39,079 --> 00:48:43,480
After that and he played a full
season, looked great. Last year's numbers

763
00:48:43,559 --> 00:48:49,800
weren't amazing, but we're still solid, just not unstoppable, solid, so

764
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:55,599
it'll be interesting to see. I
don't know what playing for the Ontario Rain

765
00:48:55,679 --> 00:48:59,760
will do for a goaltender right now, because I don't know what the rest

766
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:04,039
of the King's prospect pool looks like, but I know that they have some

767
00:49:04,199 --> 00:49:07,360
slim pickings in certain areas, so
we'll see. He's not one that I

768
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:14,679
am necessarily delighted about anymore, but
I did at one point think that he

769
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:22,599
was the best option in the Buffalo
system ahead of Ukapeca Lukanan, who was

770
00:49:22,639 --> 00:49:28,239
already playing in the NHL, so
that should count for something. I think

771
00:49:30,119 --> 00:49:34,239
he's the best that LA has,
but it's still not that great, especially

772
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:38,159
compared to their Southern California rivals,
who have two number one goalies in their

773
00:49:38,199 --> 00:49:43,599
prospect pool, as we previously discussed. So yeah, if you're wondering who

774
00:49:43,639 --> 00:49:47,639
else we should talk about, the
answer is no, and it's gonna some

775
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,920
teams we talk about multiple but in
LA, we're gonna just move on.

776
00:49:52,039 --> 00:49:57,039
So thanks for giving us your instincts. Cat On, Eric Portillo, We'll

777
00:49:57,119 --> 00:50:16,400
be back right after this the dynasty, but watchings King continue to have a

778
00:50:16,639 --> 00:50:22,280
very good prospect system. Victor's FHL
ratings have the system ranked tenth, which

779
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,239
is not quite what they have been. I don't think there maybe, but

780
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:30,360
there is such high end talent on
this prospect system, and it all starts

781
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:35,639
with one of the most prominent prospects
out there on the defensive side. You're

782
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:37,920
no brain or Victor. Who is
it? Yeah, that would be Brant

783
00:50:38,039 --> 00:50:43,480
Clark. LA's twenty twenty one eighth
overall pick, six foot, two hundred

784
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:46,440
and eighty five pound right hand in
d played a lot of played for a

785
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:50,800
lot of teams this season. It
was definitely a lot of moving around for

786
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:54,960
him. He played nine games with
LA had two assists. He played five

787
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:58,599
games for the Antia Rain had one
goal, one assist. Then he won

788
00:50:58,639 --> 00:51:01,920
a gold medal with Canada at the
World Junior Championships the U twenty eight points

789
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:07,360
in seven games. Went back to
Barry after the World Juniors and posting sixty

790
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:12,119
one points in thirty one regular season
games in the HL and then twenty three

791
00:51:12,199 --> 00:51:15,639
points in twelve games for the playoffs. Was definitely one of, if not

792
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:19,760
the best defensemen in that league.
In the playoffs, he was fantastic.

793
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:22,480
He's now twenty, so he should
be done with the HL and in the

794
00:51:22,679 --> 00:51:27,440
HL for next season. If not
the NHL, I think there's a decent

795
00:51:27,559 --> 00:51:30,519
chance that he makes it there.
And in cashare wondering. I have him

796
00:51:30,559 --> 00:51:35,840
as my sixth defenseman and my fantasy
ranks, so there's five guys ahead of

797
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,320
them. Who might they be?
You can guess. Let me know what

798
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:44,599
you think. Mitch Brown tracking data
has him overall at a ninety fifth percentile

799
00:51:45,159 --> 00:51:47,480
really good. His offense and defense
are both good. Where he really struggles

800
00:51:47,599 --> 00:51:52,960
in some aspects is the transition game. And we've heard about his skating before,

801
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:57,760
but his relative percent of controlled exits
is really where he struggles. According

802
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:01,400
to this data set, along with
control exits per sixty, his entries are

803
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:05,159
good. Who gets the puck in
really well, but getting the puck out

804
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:08,239
defensively is a bit of a struggle
for him, and also his retrievals going

805
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:12,440
back and getting the puck. Those
are two areas where he really struggles and

806
00:52:12,559 --> 00:52:16,159
that might limit him, at least
initially from having a professional impact. I

807
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:21,400
think that those are things obviously he
can work on and get much better at.

808
00:52:21,559 --> 00:52:27,840
He's got some other things in his
advantages created expected primary points involvement.

809
00:52:28,159 --> 00:52:31,599
All of those things lookally really good
for brand Clark and what else looks good

810
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:37,679
is our Fantasy Hockey Life scout report, Jesse, What does that tell us?

811
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:42,320
Let me tell you Victor brand Clark
was scouted by our guy Brandon.

812
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:46,119
He says. The skating is incredibly
agile, player of dynamic momentum, possesses

813
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:52,400
elastic acceleration, as he seems to
be championing at the bit, champion at

814
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:54,440
the bit, chomping at the bit. It's been discussed to get an emotion.

815
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:59,440
Clark has access to a full range
of skill at different speeds and looks

816
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:02,920
equally comfortable and confident, be it
leaving the rush or slowing down the play

817
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:07,840
and pulling attention to him in a
similar way dots or Yager would pass here.

818
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:12,599
In handling, clear that Clark likes
to hold onto the puck carry it

819
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:17,639
into advance the play if possible a
half zone passer. His stretch passes could

820
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:22,239
use some work, as more often
than not the past attempt winds up incomplete.

821
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:24,960
In shooting, the shot is subtle
in effect and smooth in motion.

822
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:30,800
It's almost like a firm and lofty
pass directed to the net. He demonstrates

823
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:34,599
varying degrees of tempo and his movement
before the shot is released. Wouldn't go

824
00:53:34,679 --> 00:53:37,440
so far as saying the shot is
harmless, as it has high potential to

825
00:53:37,599 --> 00:53:43,119
create secondary opportunities. However, the
crease around the crease if it doesn't sneak

826
00:53:43,199 --> 00:53:46,039
through the goaltender, however, the
shot does not have the aggression or bite

827
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:52,559
Brandon says the IQ. Clark is
extremely comfortable with the puck and under pressure.

828
00:53:52,599 --> 00:53:55,400
His skating ability opens up options for
him to alter the look of the

829
00:53:55,480 --> 00:54:01,639
developing play at his whim spatial awareness
with his mobility, continually looking to make

830
00:54:01,679 --> 00:54:07,519
the best play possible as opposed to
the most obvious for checking. Not normally

831
00:54:07,639 --> 00:54:09,760
active on the four check as a
defender, but he showed glimpses of what

832
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:15,679
his spatial pressure can accomplish defense.
He's adept at closing gaps on opponents while

833
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:21,239
defending the rush. After encroaching on
the player's space, his long reach guards

834
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:25,360
against puck movement and eventually becomes the
final play disruptor. He's shown the willingness

835
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:30,280
to box players off. He flexes
the ability to not only disrupt the play,

836
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:34,480
but to then force a turnover and
move the puck in his team's favor

837
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:38,039
while on the PK tends to fall
back into a collapsing a more passive posture.

838
00:54:38,679 --> 00:54:43,599
His best asset then is the skating
with an honorable mention to spatial awareness.

839
00:54:43,679 --> 00:54:47,599
His biggest concern is that long range
breakout puck movement the top tier outcome

840
00:54:47,679 --> 00:54:52,559
for him. Assist heavy minute munching, top pair of D with first unit

841
00:54:52,599 --> 00:54:57,840
power play shot development could bring him
closer to the seventy plus point range boom.

842
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:02,559
That would be nice. Fiftieth outcome
tier roll second pairing, power play

843
00:55:02,559 --> 00:55:06,760
specialist that could be used as a
pesky penal to kill option to capitalize on

844
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:12,519
turnovers, ensuring rushers. Stylistic comparable
skating shows shades of Scott Niedermeyer, while

845
00:55:12,599 --> 00:55:16,079
his puck carrion and proximal game resembles
the slick one on one stylens of Eric

846
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:22,320
Carlson with a dash of Yager Datzuk
keepaway playmaking. It sounds like we're making

847
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:28,639
the genetic monster hockey player right there. The NHL rank King Mason Black shows

848
00:55:28,679 --> 00:55:32,199
he's coming close to first line potential, above first line potential, getting starting

849
00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:38,679
to hug superstar potential in terms of
his p NHL equivalences, But the poll

850
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:44,840
that went out there from NHL rank
King Mason Black was Brandt Clark versus last

851
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:49,360
year's number two overall pick, Simon
Nemich of the New Jersey Devils, and

852
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:54,199
Brant Clark easily handling Shimon Nevitch with
four hundred eighty eight votes. He won

853
00:55:54,599 --> 00:56:00,719
by a fifty seven to forty three
margin. Brant Clark I think has the

854
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:06,239
better offensive reputation from everything that I
have studied up until now, Victor over

855
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:09,519
Nimich, So I know Nemi was
not your guy in that draft class.

856
00:56:09,559 --> 00:56:15,239
Would you continue to take or would
you take brand Clark over him? Yes,

857
00:56:15,639 --> 00:56:19,079
definitely I would, And now I'm
gonna have to go watch his skating

858
00:56:19,119 --> 00:56:24,480
again after Brandon says he has shades
of Scott Niedermeyer. That is incredibly exciting,

859
00:56:24,639 --> 00:56:27,920
and I don't remember seeing that,
so I'm gonna have to look again.

860
00:56:28,519 --> 00:56:31,000
Anyways, Yes, I would definitely
take Clark here. NMIs, You're

861
00:56:31,079 --> 00:56:34,559
right, was not my guy.
It was definitely your check and I had

862
00:56:34,679 --> 00:56:38,679
even I think metaycheck ahead of him. Menchukoff maybe was in there, but

863
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:43,519
right now I have Nemich ranked fifteenth
in my d and Clark at six I

864
00:56:43,599 --> 00:56:45,639
mentioned, so I definitely have Clark
ahead. I definitely agree with the people

865
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:50,880
here, and the opportunity is great, greater in LA, even not that

866
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:54,760
I usually weigh that so heavily,
but Brand Clark definitely has, you know,

867
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:59,280
all the opportunity. Obviously, Drew
Dowdy's still there, but he's the

868
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:01,800
next in line. He's the chosen
one. Is Brand Clark in that LA

869
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:05,760
system to run the power play for
years to come, and they have definitely

870
00:57:06,039 --> 00:57:08,360
emerging from this retool. He's going
to be the guy and they're gonna be

871
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:12,000
a good team. New Much is
still a good player. Don't get me

872
00:57:12,039 --> 00:57:15,000
wrong, he's great. He definitely
looks like he's going to be a really

873
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:20,480
good professional player as well. He
was great in the HL. But he

874
00:57:20,679 --> 00:57:23,559
is blocked because there's Hamilton, There's
Hughes there, He's got some competition there.

875
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:28,519
That doesn't mean he can't be moved
and be great elsewhere. But I

876
00:57:28,599 --> 00:57:30,639
definitely would take Clark. I think
he has more offensive prowess and just the

877
00:57:30,719 --> 00:57:35,920
way that he sees the game and
finds teammates. I think he has more

878
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:39,679
offensive creativity. They both have ridiculously
high star potentials. If you look at

879
00:57:39,719 --> 00:57:44,599
these two in the Hockey Prospecting model, they're both over eighty percent chance of

880
00:57:44,679 --> 00:57:49,480
being a star, which is incredible. The comps here are ridiculous Victor Headman,

881
00:57:49,599 --> 00:57:52,800
Phil Housley, Bobby or That's absurd. So all both of these guys

882
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:55,960
have really great comps. But I
would definitely think Clark for all the things

883
00:57:57,000 --> 00:58:00,920
I mentioned and looking at his specific
call. He's also got Tony D'Angelo,

884
00:58:02,239 --> 00:58:06,800
which is whatever. But also Evan
Bouchard is a guy he looks a lot

885
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:09,480
like in this model, and I
think Evan Bouchard would be a pretty reasonable

886
00:58:09,559 --> 00:58:14,199
comp in terms of what to expect
for Clark. Obviously he's not done developing

887
00:58:14,239 --> 00:58:19,280
either, but he's obviously shown some
pretty excellent prowess. The top down Hockey

888
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:22,840
model, which is always a bit
more conservative than Hockey Prospecting, is a

889
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:27,920
little more conservative on Clark. It
has him at just twenty three percent chance

890
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:30,719
of being a star. That seems
really low to me, but ninety six

891
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:36,519
percent chance of being an NHL or
so pretty good upside with near Locke to

892
00:58:36,599 --> 00:58:40,079
play NHL games. That's I think
we can comfortably say that about Bran Clark

893
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:45,800
dressing. Yes, sir, Bran
Clark. Boy, that's a pretty exciting

894
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:50,960
report on him. I think everybody
already knew Brent Clark was top of the

895
00:58:51,039 --> 00:58:52,559
list, but boy, that's pretty
good. Let's move on, Victor.

896
00:58:52,559 --> 00:58:58,320
Who's your need to know prospect in
the LA King system? Yeah, this

897
00:58:58,559 --> 00:59:00,840
is actually a bit tough. As
you mentioned, the system is not what

898
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:05,800
it was a lot of those guys
have graduated and so a little bit down

899
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:09,239
the pipeline here. Ryan con Me
is who we're going to go with,

900
00:59:10,159 --> 00:59:15,519
and he was LA's sixth round pick
just from this past draft, twenty three,

901
00:59:15,599 --> 00:59:19,639
five ten eighty seven pound right wing, very old for this class.

902
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:23,960
He's a October twenty third birthday,
so just under thirty days away from being

903
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:29,039
eligible for next year's draft. Always
a bit interesting. Sixty two points in

904
00:59:29,119 --> 00:59:36,559
sixty games for Sioux City of the
USHL, and he's going to New Hampshire

905
00:59:36,639 --> 00:59:39,639
for the NCUBA next season, so
that'll be good to see how he transitions

906
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:43,519
there, and so he's definitely going
to be at least a few years away.

907
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:49,519
Then Mitch Brown's data set, he's
overall eighty three. Pretty good his

908
00:59:49,679 --> 00:59:52,480
offense though, hello, but a
little bit blow average in terms of expected

909
00:59:52,559 --> 00:59:57,039
goals and assist per sixty. That's
not what you want to hear, but

910
00:59:57,280 --> 01:00:00,960
the rest of his game looks really
good. Defense, transition game all looks

911
01:00:01,079 --> 01:00:06,039
pretty excellent. So let's hear a
little bit more about Ryan Conny from our

912
01:00:06,159 --> 01:00:10,880
FHL scout Jesse just indeed and the
FHL scout in this point. In this

913
01:00:12,079 --> 01:00:15,920
one is our boy Yarnow coming off
the top rope over there in Finland.

914
01:00:15,559 --> 01:00:21,760
His skating is an energetic skater bit
smaller players. Skating draws are quite short

915
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:24,440
ones, but still effective in small
areas of the ice, fast on those

916
01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:29,159
short situations, but in a way
lacks the very high end speed and also

917
01:00:29,239 --> 01:00:32,079
the downside of his skating that after
a couple of draws starts to look a

918
01:00:32,159 --> 01:00:37,760
bit heavy. Passing not usually so
much, keeping the possession of the puck

919
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:39,920
and the offensive zone. Instead,
the play style is quite direct, either

920
01:00:40,039 --> 01:00:45,199
going with the shot or moving the
puck quickly average puck handling skills. Tries

921
01:00:45,239 --> 01:00:50,480
to dribble the opponent sometimes but not
always with good success. On the power

922
01:00:50,599 --> 01:00:53,079
play, he can keep the puck
on left hand side distributed back to the

923
01:00:53,199 --> 01:00:58,320
d or try to find the bumper
guy from the center, or send the

924
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:02,320
puck behind the net that can lead
to scoring chances. Shooting very good,

925
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:07,719
especially the one timer from the left
circle and the powerplay powerful wrist shot from

926
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:12,679
breakaway situations. Definitely a shoot first
type of guy i Q. He's not

927
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:15,800
a puck carrier, but can read
the play well to get him into scoring

928
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:21,159
chance. Is extremely good and anticipating
the attacking situations in the game that can

929
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:23,000
lead to his team getting fast counter
attacks, three on two, two on

930
01:01:23,119 --> 01:01:27,960
one breakaways, even in the pedal
to kill. When those situations of not

931
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:30,760
getting a direct shot, he can
distribute the puck by his backhand good to

932
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:35,679
find space for his shot in the
offensive zone and if the shooting lanes block,

933
01:01:35,719 --> 01:01:38,800
can distribute the puck to other players
defense, usually the last man back

934
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:43,039
in his own zone to help the
d mostly because of his attacking style of

935
01:01:43,159 --> 01:01:45,679
play when in the D zone,
not hesitant to do checks with a stick,

936
01:01:46,119 --> 01:01:51,920
not much necessarily with the body or
a heavy hitter. So the best

937
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:55,199
asset overall here that one timer on
the power play ready to fire shots from

938
01:01:55,239 --> 01:01:59,960
the left hand side of the circle
and can distribute the puck if the shot

939
01:02:00,199 --> 01:02:06,800
line is blocked in a very dangerous
finisher at five on five. Biggest concern

940
01:02:07,039 --> 01:02:10,119
the size. He needs more of
it to be in two hundred foot game

941
01:02:10,159 --> 01:02:15,599
type player in the National Hockey League. What's the top outcome for this guy?

942
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:20,239
Middle of bottom six winger says Yarno
utilize both on the penalty kill and

943
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:23,079
the power play. Valuable in fantasy
even if he doesn't break into the top

944
01:02:23,159 --> 01:02:28,280
lines because of shot volume. Gives
that feeling of a goal scorer, especially

945
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:32,199
if given the power play role and
the stylist of comparable Yarna went with Alex

946
01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:37,280
to brink it slash Justin Danforth.
A little bit of a delta there,

947
01:02:37,559 --> 01:02:44,440
but triangulates where we're at p NHL
similarity scores. We got Max patcha Retty,

948
01:02:44,559 --> 01:02:47,440
Patrick Sharp and Eric Fear. I
like that, although that kind of

949
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:52,320
takes us around the second line potential
between second line and first line is where

950
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:58,519
Conny comes out in those equivalences and
up in the comparison. He puts Ryan

951
01:02:58,599 --> 01:03:02,000
Conbie up against Quinn Finley of the
New York Islanders. My wife knows his

952
01:03:02,119 --> 01:03:06,559
mom the Quinn Finlay's It's cool to
see him make it up here. Who

953
01:03:06,599 --> 01:03:12,000
would you rather have on your fantasy
team? And Quinn Finlay comes out decisively

954
01:03:12,119 --> 01:03:16,519
ahead the third round pick of the
Islanders last year, fifty seven to forty

955
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:21,239
three victor. I don't know,
is that how you see this breaking down?

956
01:03:22,559 --> 01:03:27,119
No, not really. I mean
I think in general, if you

957
01:03:27,159 --> 01:03:30,599
had to choose between a no offense
to your wife knowing their family, but

958
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:37,239
if you had to choose between taken
an LA King's prospect in a New York

959
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:40,159
Islanders prospect, just in general,
I think you should take the La King's

960
01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:45,760
prospect. But I do think that
Finlay is interesting. He's someone to keep

961
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:50,119
your eye on. He definitely had
a well in case people don't know,

962
01:03:50,199 --> 01:03:54,320
twenty twenty two third round pick by
the Islanders, and he went from the

963
01:03:55,159 --> 01:03:59,760
well he was in the USHL and
did really well, got traded to Chicago

964
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:01,800
well over a point per game,
and he's going to be at Wisconsin next

965
01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:05,679
year. That Wisconsin team is going
to be interesting. They had really rough

966
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:10,440
year this year and sounds like there
was a lot of chaos with the coaching

967
01:04:10,719 --> 01:04:14,679
and they're getting the Minnesota state coach
who took them all the way to the

968
01:04:14,719 --> 01:04:17,920
final. I believe we're neared and
he's gonna have a lot more structure and

969
01:04:18,119 --> 01:04:20,880
it sounds like things are going to
be better over there in Wisconsin, so

970
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:25,639
Finley might be someone that kind of
pops off a little bit. But I

971
01:04:25,679 --> 01:04:28,800
actually like Conny a little bit.
He's starting off in terms of what he

972
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:30,760
did in his draft season much higher
than what Finley did. I also like

973
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:33,639
this comp because they're both USHL guys, So if you just look at their

974
01:04:33,639 --> 01:04:39,239
equivalent season, their d's in their
draft season, Conmee was way higher than

975
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:43,119
Finley, so starting off at a
higher point. So that's why I would

976
01:04:43,159 --> 01:04:46,320
take him. But I'm definitely as
depth pieces interested in kind of both these

977
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:49,079
guys, and a little bit more
on Conny. Yeah, he's got that

978
01:04:49,159 --> 01:04:53,840
fifteen percent chance of being a star
on the Hockey Prospecting model, forty five

979
01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:57,599
percent chance of being an NHL or
he's got some decent comps. Of course,

980
01:04:57,639 --> 01:05:00,639
a lot of these guys end up
busting out. He's out of Jesper

981
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:03,519
Fast in there, as well as
Connor Brown, who I think is probably

982
01:05:03,559 --> 01:05:10,079
a reasonable comp average producer, And
yeah, that's what you'd hope for from

983
01:05:10,599 --> 01:05:15,039
a pretty late pick in conmy the
top down hockey model as usual, more

984
01:05:15,079 --> 01:05:18,039
pessimistic five percent chance of being a
star fifteen percent chance of being an NHL

985
01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:24,920
So yeah, definitely a little less
optimistic, but still there's there's some there's

986
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:28,360
something here I think with Conme and
he's still pretty raw, but we have

987
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:31,119
to wait and see how he turns
out. Jesse, Yes, indeed,

988
01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:34,920
and our keep your Eye on prospect
is a guy who's been talked about on

989
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:40,360
this show a number of times because
he's been kicking around those top prospect circles.

990
01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:44,199
Were those top prospect talk circles because
of his draft position for a while?

991
01:05:44,239 --> 01:05:47,480
Who is it, Victor? Yep, it's Alex Turcott. We certainly

992
01:05:47,559 --> 01:05:51,280
have been keeping an eye on him
for a while. Twenty nineteen fifth overall

993
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:55,320
pick by LA. People probably could
go back and look at that twenty nineteen

994
01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:58,960
draft. I think you'd be surprised
how early he went compared to some of

995
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:02,239
the other guys there. And then
the narrative on how last season went.

996
01:06:02,320 --> 01:06:06,559
He had seventeen points in thirty two
games for LA Sorry sorry for Ontario.

997
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:13,599
No points in four games for the
for the Los Angeles Kings when he played

998
01:06:13,639 --> 01:06:15,719
a couple of token games there.
He missed the start of the season,

999
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:19,880
had a concussion from May twenty twenty
two that kept him sideline until November.

1000
01:06:20,239 --> 01:06:25,719
He's had a lot of issues that
have disrupted his development, has Alex Turcott,

1001
01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:30,079
and there's obviously some disappointment maybe by
some and how he's turned out in

1002
01:06:30,199 --> 01:06:34,840
terms of what the upside is.
But he still has a lot of potential,

1003
01:06:34,920 --> 01:06:38,360
i would say, and he's very
close to being in HL ready and

1004
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:41,400
played some games with the Kings last
season. He also played eight games with

1005
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:45,599
the Kings and he's basically been in
Ontario in the HL for the past three

1006
01:06:45,679 --> 01:06:50,199
seasons. Potentially some frustration there kicking
in terms of maybe him thinking he's a

1007
01:06:50,199 --> 01:06:55,480
little bit closer to getting an opportunity
than maybe the Kings are allowing him.

1008
01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:59,320
But of course the King's being competitive. Now that's tough to crack in with

1009
01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:02,800
such a petitive group there, so
that makes it a little bit difficult as

1010
01:07:02,880 --> 01:07:10,440
well. But you have some really
high potential here with Turcott and he's coming

1011
01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:14,679
this is the last season of his
entry level deal before he's going to be

1012
01:07:14,719 --> 01:07:16,079
in RFA and you have to really
decide if you're going to pay him or

1013
01:07:16,119 --> 01:07:21,239
not. So that's what we have
to say initially about Turcott, but we

1014
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:26,360
have more from our FHL scout,
don't we just see this? Indeed,

1015
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:31,639
Pniche Charmatt had a look at Alex
Turcott and says this his skating strong skating

1016
01:07:31,679 --> 01:07:36,920
abilities at a Turcott powerful stride,
remarkable speed, excellent acceleration making a challenging

1017
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:43,440
for opponents to dispossess him. Relentless
energy, continuous motion provide him with a

1018
01:07:43,519 --> 01:07:49,159
competitive advantage passing and handling. He
demonstrates slick passing skills and offensive awareness,

1019
01:07:49,199 --> 01:07:55,280
capable of making difficult passes through type
spaces whenever the opportunities arise. Moreover,

1020
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:59,440
soft hands have given him the ability
to score goals effectively in close proximity to

1021
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:03,559
the net, shooting excellent risk shot
with a quick release. Snapshot and slapshot

1022
01:08:03,599 --> 01:08:08,920
are equally impressive. IQ. He
could use some improvement making quick moves and

1023
01:08:09,159 --> 01:08:13,199
changing the angles to open up passing
lanes and find open teammates. He's a

1024
01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:16,239
smart player who reads the play well, keeps the puck moving effectively, but

1025
01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:20,439
is often forced into taking the safe
route making the pass instead of the scoring

1026
01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:27,520
chance for checking. Turcott's game could
benefit from honing quick moves, changing angles

1027
01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:31,239
to open up passing lanes, find
open teammates. He tends to offer safe

1028
01:08:31,279 --> 01:08:35,800
passes instead of taking risks to create
better scoring opportunities in the defensive zone.

1029
01:08:36,039 --> 01:08:42,560
The defense, Alex Turcott excels by
reading plays a deptly positioning in himself effectively

1030
01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:45,439
between the opponent and the net.
He can poke check with a stick.

1031
01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:50,720
He can intercept passes. He makes
some impact on the penalty kill especially.

1032
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:58,079
He has a relentless work ethic.
His best asset then overall offensive prowess with

1033
01:08:58,279 --> 01:09:02,279
smooth passing, heightened offensive awareness,
soft hands, excellent risk shot. Biggest

1034
01:09:02,279 --> 01:09:06,479
concern the injuries. We talked about
it. They've really messed up his opportunity

1035
01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:11,760
to show what he can really do
while other prospects on the Kings have surpassed

1036
01:09:11,880 --> 01:09:15,720
him the top tier outcome for this
guy. The injuries are probably too much

1037
01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:18,840
to ignore. But there's a chance
that if he got back to his true

1038
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:24,319
form, he could fit into maybe
a second line maybe even a first line

1039
01:09:24,359 --> 01:09:28,159
center position, and that would take
us to a tier two in terms of

1040
01:09:28,239 --> 01:09:32,760
our prospect rankings. Is maybe a
sixty point type guy fifty percentile tier or

1041
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:38,359
role. Possibility of making a true
impact as a center is starting to fade.

1042
01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:42,279
He's fallen behind some guys, so
you know, maybe a third line

1043
01:09:42,319 --> 01:09:46,720
center somewhere in there. Stylistic comparable
when healthy, he's been compared to Ryan

1044
01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:50,520
O'Reilly type, but that remains to
be seen good at the face off circle

1045
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:56,119
though that's an Oiley type of thing. In terms of looking at the NHL

1046
01:09:56,239 --> 01:10:00,840
ranking Mason Black and his data,
his potential has been falling a lot.

1047
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:04,199
At the time of his draft,
he had superstar and it has gradually been

1048
01:10:04,279 --> 01:10:11,680
declining to now he's even below second
line potential on Mason's computations. We compared

1049
01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:15,079
him, Mason compared him to the
silly Pid Colson out there, a guy

1050
01:10:15,119 --> 01:10:20,880
who's already been in the NHL a
bit for the Vancouver Canucks. Turcott versus

1051
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:27,720
pod Colesen. Pod Colesen won easily
sixty seven two thirty three, and it's

1052
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:30,520
hard to argue with that. Pod
Colson's already shown he can have a role

1053
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:33,840
in the NHL, and I don't
know, Turcott can't seem to establish himself.

1054
01:10:34,199 --> 01:10:38,720
Would you agree with the people on
this one, Victor, No,

1055
01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:43,600
I would not. As you said, Pod Colson has established what he is

1056
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:47,039
in the NHL, and what that
is a very non exciting career twenty three

1057
01:10:47,279 --> 01:10:54,399
point pace guy that is not interesting, not fantasy relevant. He does hit

1058
01:10:54,479 --> 01:10:57,479
a lot, so sure, maybe
you could stream him for some hits blocks

1059
01:10:57,520 --> 01:11:00,119
when he gets good deployment, but
he really doesn't do much in terms of

1060
01:11:00,199 --> 01:11:02,960
scoring, and I don't really see
that changing. He's averaged twelve and a

1061
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:08,439
half minutes over his career. He's
only one hundred and eighteen NHL games,

1062
01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:12,720
so maybe he has a little bit
more as he gets closer to hundred games,

1063
01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:15,039
maybe he could break out a little
bit more. But I think we've

1064
01:11:15,079 --> 01:11:19,600
seen what particles in is and it's
not interesting or exciting for fantasy. We

1065
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:23,680
haven't seen, as she said,
what Turcock can be. He's had some

1066
01:11:23,920 --> 01:11:28,720
injuries, he's had difficulties being blocked
deployment wise, and it is true,

1067
01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:30,520
as I always say, the best
always the cream rises to the crop,

1068
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:35,039
the cream of the crop rises to
the top, and he has not done

1069
01:11:35,079 --> 01:11:41,439
that. There have been some extenuating
circumstances in terms of the injuries and such

1070
01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:45,319
that have limited him. But and
of course having Bifield ahead of him,

1071
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:50,960
and then them trading for Deno and
now PLD, so it's becoming very crowded.

1072
01:11:51,039 --> 01:11:57,399
And difficult for him to establish himself
and that's tough, but at the

1073
01:11:57,439 --> 01:12:00,159
same time, he has to do
better and that has been a little bit

1074
01:12:00,199 --> 01:12:03,079
on him. But in terms of
the potential, as you mentioned, he

1075
01:12:03,239 --> 01:12:06,960
was a sixty eight percent chance of
being a star when he was when he

1076
01:12:08,079 --> 01:12:10,399
was drafted. I always thought when
he was drafted, though, that he

1077
01:12:10,520 --> 01:12:14,199
was more of a middle six than
for sure top line center, and now

1078
01:12:14,279 --> 01:12:15,840
it looks like he might be more
of a bottom six type player. But

1079
01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:19,479
he still has that offense there if
he has been able to translate it to

1080
01:12:19,600 --> 01:12:24,880
some extent at the professional level,
just not all the way at the NHL

1081
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:29,119
level, which is tough when you're
not getting the opportunity. But he has

1082
01:12:29,159 --> 01:12:31,920
been pretty darn good in the HL. Hovering from half point a game to

1083
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:36,640
two thirds point per game is really
good. He's trended now down to twenty

1084
01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:41,079
six percent chance of being a star, but that's still really high and I

1085
01:12:41,199 --> 01:12:45,720
still think that there's upside there with
Turcott, so I would definitely rather take

1086
01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:48,359
him, especially because he's not as
far down in the funnel, even though

1087
01:12:48,479 --> 01:12:53,720
he's drafted a while ago. He
doesn't have too many NHL games, only

1088
01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:57,199
has twelve, so you can still
stuff him in your minors. If that's

1089
01:12:57,239 --> 01:13:01,239
stuff, you have that rule.
And I think in terms of Philly Nhlly,

1090
01:13:01,359 --> 01:13:04,920
he looks much better than put holes
into me some of his individual comps.

1091
01:13:05,039 --> 01:13:09,640
He's got guys like Elias Lindholm.
I think there's still a world where

1092
01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:14,239
he becomes a little bit like that
other guys like Keith Primo. Maybe not,

1093
01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:18,000
but I still really like Alex Turcott. I think he has a ton

1094
01:13:18,079 --> 01:13:23,920
of potential and there's still a world
where he ends up becoming a really good

1095
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:28,199
fantasy asset. The top down Hockey
model a lot less optimistic as usual.

1096
01:13:28,319 --> 01:13:30,159
Just one percent chance of being a
start, ten percent chance of being a

1097
01:13:30,239 --> 01:13:35,359
nhlor. That seems extremely pessimistic,
but he has struggled a bit, and

1098
01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:39,119
that's all. Though they have time
for Jesse, there's more guys we could

1099
01:13:39,159 --> 01:13:42,159
talk about, but we don't.
We don't have time. If you're a

1100
01:13:42,159 --> 01:13:45,399
patron, you can read more from
the scouting reports. There's more information in

1101
01:13:45,479 --> 01:13:48,520
there than what we read, and
you can listen to my top ten recap

1102
01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:51,560
lists. And if you're interested in
doing some scouting with us, shoot me
