Los Angeles Kings - News: KINGS ANNOUNCE MULTIPLE TRANSACTIONS - 02/21/2008
We all knew about the Ersberg thing, and the Ellis thing... but no one mentioned Tukonen
It really doesn't appear that current management is too high on this kid. He should have stayed in Finland and matured there a bit before he come here.
On Lauri Tukonen: ``He’s just got to show his enthusiasm and play with intensity, do the things all young players are expected to do. As a young player you want to show you can be responsible in your own end, play a strong solid game defensively and then play with energy. If that energy allows you to get in on the fore-check and get a good scoring opportunity then great, but it can’t be at the demise of your defensive play and your responsibility. We’ve got as a priority for us to play well in your own end and he falls into that category of being a young player who has to show me that he’s not going to hurt me before he shows me how much he’s going to help me.
That pretty much sums up what alot of people have suspected. He's a bust. Another wasted 1st round pick to join the steckel, vopat, karlsen, Aulin, Tambellini crowd. Amazing how the Kings scouting people really sucked

Yeah, I mean these guys could've drafted Frolov, Kopitar, Brown, or even Boyle with first round picks. They can't even find late round gems like that Visnovsky guy, who drafted him anyway?
