Eight selections in the first 82 picks, including number two overall....
Suh-weeeet!
Unfortunately, at this point in the Kings history, Stamkos wouldn't help us. We have no defense. We need to build from the blueline and Daughty or Shenn or Bogosian will all be more beneficial to the team than Stamkos. Scoring 5 goals a game won't help when you give up 40-60 shots a game.
However, with our extra picks and Cammy expendable, we could trade for a 2nd line Center AND have a top 4 D, which will greatly improve the team.
Which defensemen at Manchester are NHL reaady? Harrold is a decent #5 or 6 D man. From what I've heard there really aren't any D men ready up there. Hersley just got sent down to Reading for the 2nd time this year. Doughty is supposed to be NHL ready. If Blake re-signs the D looks like:
Blake-JMFJ
Lubo-Preissing (soft city)
Doughty-? (Dallman, Harrold, sign UFA or package Cammy for a young NHL ready D man)
I'm thinking DL will trade for a young D man. Trading Cammy will make room for Boyle and Purcell. He has thie assets to make this happen.
^^ that would be a good idea. trade cammi for D. our offense is going to be a definite force to deal with next year... making the d that much tighter is going to help beyond words.

Luckily it only took Lombardi 2 seasons to figure this out (its the defense, stupid!).
