11. Brian Boyle 6’7” 250 lbs. 22 Defenseman

Next time you decide to talk trash, it would help if you could back it up.
I'm sorry to break it down to you, but the core of the current kings team (Kopitar, Brown, Cammaleri, Frolov) are Taylor's picks, which I have no problem with. As a true hockey fan who admires old school hockey instead of the current European style the Kings play, all Dean has to do is add three big stay at home defenseman who will protect the net and drop the gloves when necessary, and about three big, tough, gritty forwards. Then maybe the kings may have a chance at competing for a Stanly cup. Without toughness, the Kings are going nowhere, and its sad that most Kings fans don't understand this very important aspect of hockey... Toughness wins you games, not cowardness
