The 2013 season starts in 10-14 days. Camp starts in less than a week, I suppose. Anze Kopitar and Willie Mitchell sound like they’re out with knee injuries for at least a few weeks. Tyler Toffoli has been tearing up the AHL. Jonathan Quick either has just been cleared to play (surgery, remember?) or...

Who will still be on the Kings in 2013-14?
2013-14, that’s this fall, by the way. The NHL and NHLPA have apparently agreed to allow 2 buy-outs per club for 2013-14. That’s two buy-outs that will not count against the cap. The point is to make it easier for teams to get below the presumed $60 million cap ceiling. I don’t know what...

I Don’t Care How You’re Doing in Europe
I derive great satisfaction from following prospects, especially Kings’ prospects, playing in other leagues. But it turns out I don’t care at all how established NHL players are doing while playing in other leagues. Aside from an over-riding concern that everyone stays healthy for that distant day when the NHL returns, I don’t have...

Which players got screwed the most by the two lock-outs?
The 2004-2005 lock-out took a year out of the careers of a generation of players. Now, the 2012-13 lock-out is robbing a second group, and it’s doing it to some people for the second time. Some players — Mike Cammalleri, Dustin Brown, come to mind — may even have benefitted from playing an entire...

How is Dwight King going to avoid waivers?
Mayor’s Manor reports that Dwight King has “signed a minor league contract” and is going to play in Manchester. I assume more details are forthcoming. All of the Kings’ waiver-exempt players (Andrei Loktionov, Jordan Nolan, Slava Voynov) were loaned to Manchester before the September 15 lock-out date, per a special agreement between the NHL...

The Cup, Names, Petitions, since the lock-out [CHART FUN]
Yesterday, we learned that the Kings did not petition to have Andrei Loktionov’s name engraved on the Stanley Cup. How unusual is that? I decided to find out. As I said I would in my last post on Loktigate, I went back and looked at the rosters of past Cup-winning teams, to see which...

Still no Voynov; Monarchs Camp Day 1
New Hampshire Union Leader: Monarchs Roster Takes Shape
Nolan and Loktionov arrived in town this past week to report to Monarchs training camp. Voynov, however, did not and his status remains a mystery.
It was rumored that Loktionov might opt to go play back home in the KHL in Russia and that could be where...

Horrible News (and why am I not surprised?)
The day started with joy at the sight of Andrei Loktionov’s name on the cup, which turned out to be a Photoshop, and ended with the news that Andrei Loktionov will ask for a trade when the Lock-Out is over. Way to manage your assets, Kings Brain Trust. Evernote lets you save all the...

“Doesn’t rise to the level of unforgivable sin”
Rich Hammond doesn't think Loktionov's omission is all that bad in the scheme of things. But why didn't the Kings at least petition to have him included? What's the risk in that? The league might say no?

Do the Right Thing, Dean! (part two)
So, today the HHOF released the first picture of the Kings’ names engraved on the Stanley Cup. Imagine my ecstasy when I saw that the picture did indeed include the name of Andrei Loktionov! There it was, tacked onto the end of the last row, the only player’s name to be out of alphabetical...
