Everyone is back on the ice for the Kings this morning except Scott Parse, and with Matt Greene in the red non-contact sweater. Hopefully after practice, we’ll learn Terry Murray’s plan for the weekend lineups. Here’s how they’re skating this morning…
Smyth-Kopitar-Brown
Richardson-Stoll-Williams
Ponikarovsky-Handzus-Simmonds
Clifford-Schenn-Westgarth
Lewis/Loktionov/Clune/Zeiler
Mitchell-Doughty
Johnson-Scuderi
Harrold-Drewiske
Muzzin-Hickey
Quick/Ersberg/Bernier
Hmmm…is this an indication that Schenn has locked up the 4th line center spot?

@tantrum4, Got to see as much of Clifford and Schenn as possible. They are too valuable to make a mistake with.
[Reply]
@Tantrum4
I think this is an indication that TM Wants Schenn to take that spot, because he doesnt want to send him back to Brandon. Lokti can go to Manch. and I think because that option is available, TM and DL will use it
I think this is exactly how our lineup will look at the start of the season, with Clune as the extra forward, and Muzzin the extra D (until Greene comes back).

@VanKingsFan,
if all things are equal, Schenn stays & Lokti goes to MAN. Lokti was tearing it up last year and certainly deserved his call up. the injury was unfortunate, but time spent in the AHL this year would probably be better served than on the 4th line here. we all know we’ll see him this year, when? who knows. on the other hand, even if Schenn could go to MAN, he’d probably be better served playin on the 4th line (for now) here.
i do like Cynic’s idea of Hickey going to MAN and captaining them all season, but i dont believe (and i’m only going by logic and what has been posted, haven’t seen Muzzin first hand) Muzzin is ready for full time NHL duty yet. however, with him still being here, perhaps TM thinks otherwise.
didnt have a chance to weigh in yesterday, so there’s my 2 cents.

@jayhay, I’ve seen the 2 pre season games at staples and seen practice.
Muzzin- big lanky kid with good stick work and nice first pass.
Hickey- Nice skater very mobile. He has the skill to Qb a PP.
and honestly with no bias their shouldn’t be even a debate between Loktionov and Schenn.
Loktionov hands down. Schenn will get here soon; But Loktionov fits better right now and has outplayed Schenn a slight bit in my opinion.

I sure hope Lokti makes the cut. Lokti has played better then Schenn so far.
I don’t think that it would be far to demote Lokti and play Schenn.
Schenn would be the more popular pick.
I.M.O Loktionov should get the 4th line job.

i did like scuds and DD together. They complemented each other really well.
Mitchell is not “Game Ready” yet.
so maybe when everyone is at their peak conditioning wise we shall see how it all plays out for the veterans.
As for the rookies/guys trying to make the team. They look ready to go and making the picks even that much harder.

@TheRussianKing, doughty had a whole season to get comfortable with Scuds, and they didn’t really get all the way there until the year was well underway. I expect similar results with WM. Doughty has to build some trust in the guy before he gets comfortable enough to kick in the afterburners. I think if that chemistry does not develop by November, you will see a change.

@Sebastian:
Totally disagree about Schenn.
The kid has nothing left to learn at that level. Loktionov can go to Manchester to continue to grow around professionals.
Schenn should be playing with professionals as well, and the NHL is the only option for that. If he was old enough to go to Manchester, it would be a tougher decision, but to me, if it’s NHL or WHL, it’s a no brainer. Especially if you have the option of sending Loktionov to Manchester.
IMHO, the rules have made the decision easy for TM in this case.

@salami,
Agree 100% as mrbrett7 states correctly, you can’t give “call-ups” to Schenn after sending him back to Juniors.
Schenn would be the better fit in this situation. If we have injuries or poor play, Lokti can always be called up at any time. that’s a huge advantage for the Kings.
If you send Schenn back to juniors, he’s pretty much there to stay for the year. With his showing so far in camp, does it appear that he needs more seasoning against other ‘kids”?

sure you can. they can recall him from junior whenever they want. after the 9th game, he’s burned a year of his contract, but that doesn’t mean he can’t be sent back to junior (he can), or recalled from there once sent down (he can).
however, if a player in not under contract by the start of the season (like Schenn last year), he cannot be recalled to the big club until the junior season is over (except using the ATO exception).

Thanks for the clarifaction Quisp.
So if they keep him up for 6 games, they can recall him later in the season for 3 more?
If he blows thru the number of games he’s allowed, he cannot be sent back to Juniors?
Just had to share this quote….
“The “Anaheim su-ucks!” chant gets started below us, but it’s hard to hear them because the noise from our Stanley Cup parade is still ringing in my ears”.
It’s a quote from Adam Brady for the Game Recap of tuesdays beating. He makes that comment between the 9:00-12:49 mark of the third period. (I believe score was 7-1). Frankly I find it quit pathetic coming from an actual writer for the duckies. No props for Kings saying how “Impressive” Kings looked…BAH!
So here is my take on every time I hear that “come-back” about how..”They” have a Stanley Cup, and “We” don’t, blah, blah, blah”…
“It’s like those parents who are so proud of their kids for getting student of the month award and they slap that sticker on the car bumper. Reason they do that is that they know that their kid will never get that stupid sticker again or do anything significant with their life, so they leave it on for ages and live off that moment forever”…(Duck fans will always live in the past).
Whos with me?
Brady goes on an makes other little dumb comments…check it out. Its on their website:

It’s kind of a funny scenario that Lokti will be better served playing in the minors but Schenn won’t in juniors. I get the point of Schenn not being able to be recalled during the season BUT what if Schenn isn’t the best guy and then he CAN’T be sent down. How much growth will he get either in the press box (because we’re not rebuilding anymore, we’re out to win).

@guuny,
I guess it depends on what TM is doing with the 4th line. If he insists on putting a meathead there it’ll cut the minutes drstically. If he puts a mobile line on there they can play 8-10 minutes and still get some time on ice.
In that case maybe they COULD bring Schenn on as Center and move Lokti to wing…just a thought.
[Reply]
As far as who should make the team between Schenn and Loktinov. I saw something yesterday that opened my eyes and should be taken into account seriously. If you’re talking centers, the one stat you look at is faceoff wins. If the stat from the other night is any indicator, then Loktinov losing 7 of 8 faceoffs says that he isn’t ready for the NHL. He won ONE! Sure he may have the top 6 forward skill, but it doesn’t matter if you can’t win a faceoff at crunch time, who cares what kind of skill you’re going to have when you’re chasing the puck. This is crunch time for these two and if Lotkinov performs that well *sarcasm* in faceoffs, then the decision has been made already. Schenn will stay and Lotkinov will be in New Hampshire trying to learn how to win faceoffs. Losing 7 out of 8 faceoffs is horrible!

@Mike J, Bingo.
1) Schenn better at face offs, an area where we struggle so badly that we see value in a guy who can’t hit the net.
2) Schenn gets pro level challenge and veteran mentoring that Lokti can get elsewhere. Schenn only gets them here.
3) Taking Schenn leaves us with a very safe call up option for either center or wing, which all by itself could save our season.
4) Schenn more physical, bigger, adapts to a fourth line role. Because he plays a bigger, more physical game, and wins faceoffs, he brings a shutdown line that is, well, more likely to shut down the other team.
#1 and #4 alone should win it. the reasoning is, while I can definitely imagine that Lokti might put up a few more points than Schenn, but I seriously doubt that those few points would offset the goals against differential of a Schenn-led 4th line.

@Mike J,
Faceoffs are important. However: (1) plenty of great teams occupy the bottom of the league in terms of faceoff %; (2) the Kings have fewer face-offs than almost every other team; this fact may not be significant, but I think it matters; (3) Loktionov and/or Schenn may well play wing (Richardson, Stoll, Handus, Kopitar are the likely centers); (4) it’s a very small sample, 8 draws; (5) I have no memory of the plays in question, so I have no idea if the local (Ducks) score-keeper is giving Ducks’ forwards a hometown advantage (likely); (6) if you suck at faceoffs, you practice; (7) going back to the sample size issue…nobody who took more than 500 faceoffs last year had a FO% below 41%; the lowest % of any player regularly taking face-offs is usually around 33%, and the highest is usually about double that. The point being, in a real game, you give Stoll 8 face offs, he’ll win 5; Kopitar will win 3 or 4, same for Handzus, and Richie will win 3. Even if Loktionov sucks at faceoffs at a level not seen in human history, he’ll still be better than he was the other night.
[Reply]
The Wheat Kings are still a pretty good club and although I’m sure Schenn would prefer playing in the NHL, I think he’d like to take another shot at the World Jrs for Canada. Would love to see Schenn earn his way on to the roster, but I think it’s Loktionov’s spot right now.
If Parse on the second line doesn’t work, think about who would look better on that second line RIGHT NOW. It’s Loktionov, not Schenn.

it looks like Richie has been getting those looks on LW2, but as i said above that C4 wouldnt be the greatest for Lokti, compared to MAN C1, LW2 WOULD be great, at least to start the season. get a taste.

Rob2716 Reply:

@jayhay,
I get what you and some are saying but, aside from just how they both play, there is another factor that works in Loktionov’s favor. If you keep Schenn, and it doesn’t work out, you just burned a year of his entry-level contract. I think I just prefer the idea of him re-joining Brandon and then possibly being captain of Canada’s World Jr team.
As mentioned, Loktionov is better suited for a top-6 forward spot. With that in mind, Trevor Lewis seems to have been forgotten, by a lot of fans, in this mix. The Kings give points to those that have worked their way up through the system and accomplished the steps asked of them (See Quick 2 years ago and Bernier and Westgarth this year). The job could very well be his to lose. He might be better suited for that 4th line role and his face-off skills must certainly be better than what Loktionov showed the other night.
[Reply]
I like this first line they should produce more 5 on 5 scoring
[Reply]
My 2 cents:
Lokti has outplayed Schenn by a very slim margin. HOWEVER, Schenn would be a better fit on the 4th line. Lokti is more of a top 6 guy and I wouldn’t want to see him getting injured again playing a 4th line role. The time will definitely come for Lokti during the season on a call up.
Good luck TM, hopefully you make the best decision for our team. GO KINGS!

My two cents on the “who is better suited to the 4th line” question…
I get the logic that Schenn seems more like a “4th line player” than Loktionov. It’s another way of saying that Schenn has a physical, gritty aspect to his game that Loktionov lacks. However, the job of the 4th line is not just to crack skulls or whatever. Half the time the line is on the ice, it will only be two guys from the 4th line and one guy from another line, double-shifting. So the question is, do you want to see which two guys do you want to see with…Simmonds, for example. Or Brown.
Clifford-Schenn-Brown
Clifford-Loktionov-Simmonds
Lewis-Richardson-Brown
etc…
i.e. the 4th line is also an alt. 2nd or 3rd line.

Look, we can speculate all we want, the bottom line is, no matter who makes the team, they will have worked hard and deserve to be there! If any of them has trouble, they will be put back down, the same as any player has dealt with in their career. Must we forget the moves that have happened each year for so many players? Trial and error, but hopefully success. I have faith in TM and DL to do the right thing. THey have done the right thing for LA and the KIngs.
Schenn looks great, and if I’m TM, I put him in and let him either play his heart out and soar or show he needs more time below. MAN is always there, and it’s players will continue to get the conditioning they need to be ready to jump in at any time.
Instead of airing out opinions, just look at the fact that we are 7 days away from the season starting, and regarldess of who TM picks or doesn’t, we’re all going to be saying the same thing…”LET’S GO KINGS!”
P.S. Ersberg…the decision hasn’t been made, but we all can see where its going. Never forget that you are just as good as the rest of the Kings goaltenders or any other goalie in the league and have proved it to everyone. It’s just one of the those unfortunate things that happens. From one goalie to another, we love you and will miss you!

I so distinctly recall debating these same typr of topics 4 years ago. But if course, it was can Johnny Z play on the second line or is maxed out on the third line.
I love how far we have come. And the above is not to be critical to Johnny Z at all. He has a great work ethic and does get everything out of his body. But, his game has greatly improved the past 3 years and still he is likely to be a 13 or 14 forward.

I think they should keep Schenn for the 9 games and Lokti and then decide who goes away. You can play Schenn for those 9 games and then send him to the Wheat Kings. I think this Lokti kid just might be a 25 to 30 goal season. This kid got now and hate to see it wasted in Manchester! Stoll could be tradable come Dec, if Stoll does not produce the way Murray wants to this year.
I think Lotki can play the wing too! So having Schenn and Lotki for the whole season will pressure Stoll to produce! I do not see Stoll as a 2nd line center and I think Lotki can steal the show the way Simmer, Pumper Nic and lucky Luc did as a rookie. Last thought,if the Kings put Lotki on the 2nd line center, he will be a canadate for rookie of year.

I was at Tuesday’s game, but haven’t had a chance to share a couple of thoughts yet. We all know what happened, so I won’t rehash how well they played last night, and just will stick to some of the individuals we’re trying to evaluate:
1) Andrei Loktionov: Impressive kid. A bit undersized, but doesn’t seem to fear going into traffic. I really like what he showed the other night. He may not quite be NHL ready, but he’s my first choice to be called up from Manchester to fill a spot in the lineup.
2) Brayden Schenn: Smart player, good skater. I thought he played well, and his fight showed a dimension I didn’t know he had. Future leadership material, but another year in juniors couldn’t hurt. I really don’t think he should be a fourth-line player, and while the experience of being on an NHL bench would be good, I’d rather he got to play a lot of meaningful minutes (unless the Kings want to have four scoring lines!).
3) Jake Muzzin: You can tell he’s got some talent, and he’s got great size and mobility, but I think at the moment he’s overmatched in the NHL. His reaction time to some plays was a bit lagging, and I didn’t like some of the decisions he made in the offensive zone. He’ll get there, but he’s not ready for the speed of the NHL yet. Hickey was far better, and I think should be on the roster on opening night.
4) Kyle Clifford: Love the way he went hard to the net on his goal. The Kings can always use that kind of aggressiveness, and he could be a good player to have on the roster to start the year. Fourth line, and then maybe move up?

Fair evaluations.. agree on most..
For Lokti, other than being on the PP he was with the 4th line most of the night. Westie + Cliff made him look really small. He was always in the thick of it all, especially on the shift when Westgarth got into the scrap. Lokti also finished in the TOP 5 for the fitness tests on the entire roster (3rd I think). I think he’s ready for the big show, just not on the 4th line.

The Kings have two #1 goalies. Top goalies usually get about 60 games a year. That was the reason Bernier was sent down last year. The Kings did not want Bernier to just sit on the bench. That situation has not changed that much this year. True that Quick might only start 50-60 games but that still leaves the backup with only 20, perhaps 30 games. I see Bernier being sent back down so that he can play every day and stay sharp.

@UglyinLA,
Based on last year I think the organization lost some faith in Easy E (who will forever be remembered in my eyes as a really quality dude who saved us out of nowhere in the last 20 games of an otherwise meaningless 2008-09 season) to play a ton of meaningful games…while they have already demonstrated a more trust in Bernier in the two games he played.
In the book “The Game” Ken Dryden says that his very good backup Bunny Laracque pushed him into being a better player. I’m not saying Quick or Bernier or on the level of Ken Dryden, I’m just saying that you only become a better player when you’re pushed by the best people around you. I think at this time that doesn’t include EE in the goalie spot.
The problem with EE is that he would have to clear waivers I think before getting sent down (Quisp or someone correct me on that one), so I see him as being someone we trade…

I love this so-called “problem.” I remain convinced that the Kings will keep Quick and Bernier for as long as they can — probably the next two seasons — to get as much out of both before their current contracts expire as they can, and to give both the best possible chance to prove that he is the better long-term bet as the starter.
DougS Reply:

@Shakes, UglyinLA
Shakes, you are correct. Ersberg is not waiver-exempt, so he would have to clear waivers before he made it back to Manchester. I think he’d clear, but the plan for Manchester is to start Zatkoff with Jones as backup, and see how they develop. EE is very much the odd man out, no matter how you cut it.
Ugly, the problem with Sending Bernier back to Manchester is, not only does it screw up the plan with Zatkoff and Jones, but, seriously, what’s the point? He has nothing left to prove at the AHL level. If he didn’t prove last season that he’s ready to compete for a starting job in the NHL, what more could he possibly do? If you send him back to Manchester, you’re basically condemning him to never getting a chance to prove himself, because Quick will always be the incumbent starting goalie.
If Bernier starts the season in LA with the chance to play at least once every four games, at least he can make a good case for himself that he deserves Quick’s job, and the great goalie competition can really begin. I wouldn’t be surprised if he and Quick split the workload this season 60-40 or even 50-50.

@DougS,
I agree with your last statement especially. All the talk about who is #1 and all that is pointless. Whoever is playing best at any given time (or is healthiest) will get the starts. This is Darwinism at its best. Deal with it.
OK King fans you wanted to see it, and now here it is!! The recent fight at Staples between Brayden Schenn vs Luca Sbisa!! Enjoy!! P.S. You might need to sign up for hockeyfights.com I’m not sure but it’s free

Looks like Muzzin and Hickey have made the cut and Drewiske is out. I dont think you put two guys competing for one spot on the same line (wouldn’t there be a conflict of interest?).

@BluLiner,
Never mind – Muzzin and Harrold will be the third defensive pairing on Saturday.
