So might Loktionov be headed back to Manchester or what?

I read that the longer your shoulder is dislocated, the worse it can be. But, Loki is an athlete, and generally they heal faster, so let’s hope he gets well soon.

Variable,

You never know, if Schenn plays well, either handzus or Stoll will play on the fourth line. Like I said earlier, this scenario is unlikely, yet possible.

Agree Variable on Zeus. Well put.

Dom, that was 2 years ago in his first year back after injury. Last year he was a stud.

Last yr. no one could stand Zues and thought he was useless.Where would we be this yr. w/out him.My point is guys like Harrold,Percell,Quick,so on and so forth.They are developing still.Having this what have you done for me lately attitude is not the reality of the NHL today.

I think the Kings coaching staff is happy w/Zues as the #3 center.I know I like him w/simmer they work well together.Whether you like it or not I think Richardson is our #4 center unless he’s injured.

KHANON…

i don’t think that we are going to have a $4mil per year fourth-line center…

i understand what yr saying…but playing zus only 10-14 minutes a game…on a team like this…i think is a mistake…he’s a quality player…clearly not worth the contract he got…but that’s a good thing for him (mistake by d.l.) and should not be held against him when evaluating his play…

having said that i like zus w/simmer and parse…richarson w/segal and harry and/or ivy…

when healthy, i like the following…:

smyth/kopi/brown
fro/stoll/brown
parse/zus/simmer
ivy and/or harry/richie/segal

I know this is unlikely, but if Schenn does play well enough and contributes offensively, keeping him on the 2nd line, while placing stoll on the third, and handzus on the fourth would be pretty nice. Then, TM can really roll four lines, the fourth of which would look like this: Ivanans-Handzus-Segal. Richardson/Parse/Harrold can all rotate for all I care. It doesn’t look like Clune will crack the linup this season

Smyth-Kopi-JW
Fro-Schenn-Brown
Richardson/Parse/Harrold-Stoll-Simmonds
Ivanans-Handzus-Segal
