There will be 60-plus Kings players on the ice tomorrow for the first day of training-camp practices, starting at 8:30 a.m. at the Toyota Sports Center in El Segundo. All sessions are free to the public. The players will be split into three groups for the first four days of camp, with each group getting 90 minutes of ice time. The full schedule and roster can be found by clicking here. Drew Doughty is listed as being a part of one of the groups, but won’t be on the ice until/unless he is signed. Below, I have posted the participants of each group, by position. If you remember back a couple weeks, Terry Murray talked about how he often uses these groups to test line-combination chemistry. Based on that, might Murray be looking at lines that look something like this?
