Kings are going to have tough decisions to make
When the Kings look good, they look like they've always been good. When they look bad they look like it's their first time together. (for a lot of them, it is)
The recent play of Vilardi with Kempe and Carter as well as the new 3rd line of Grundstrom-JAD-Moore have been really effective.
Also Strand and Bjornfot look like they belong. So decisions are going to have to be made relatively soon as AA and Lizotte should be cleared for next game. Roy as well and Walker is not far behind. Maata has improved since his benching, I'll give him that.
Where to slot the players? Top 3 lines look like they should be set. (Note to Todd, don't even think about sitting JAD again!)
So the 4th line?
Brown-Kopi-Iafallo
Kempe-Vilardi-Carter
Grundstrom-JAD-Moore
AA-Lizotte-Wagner/Andersson is my guess.
I don't hate on Amadio as much as most ppl do, but his play doesn't warrant him playing at the expense of the others listed above. Same with Luff.
No idea how long Frk will be out.
Defense
Doughty-Anderson
Roy-Maata (til Walker is healthy)
Clague-Bjornfot
Strand-MacDermid
Like I said, decisions.
