Okay, so off the top of your head, about how many Kings are absent since this time last year? My guess is 5.
The real answer:
- Calder
- Armstrong
- Zeiler
- Moulson
- Boyle
- O’Sullivan
- Moller
- Quincey
- Preissing
- Gauthier
- LaBarbera
And those eleven guys were replaced by these nine:
- Williams
- Smyth
- Purcell
- Parse
- Segal
- Scuderi
- Drewiske
- Jones
- Quick
These are the mainstays:
- Kopitar
- Brown
- Stoll
- Frolov
- Handzus
- Simmonds
- Richardson
- Ivanans
- Harrold
- Doughty
- Johnson
- SOD
- Greene
Thirteen guys from last year, nine new guys, eleven old guys gone. Roster of 22 this year instead of 23. Sounds like a turn-over of about 44% to me.
Not the same team. Even with Smyth and Scuderi out, you’re looking at seven new guys replacing eleven departed or demoted.
