Kings got jewed out on the draft despite being 2nd last place
Go Kings Go
Can't be upset with getting a player like Turcotte.
Well we get our eventual replacement for Anze, best two way Centre in the draft. I’m happy (would’ve LOVED Byram though).
Go kings go !
Go Kings Go in 2019-20☝🏾
where the actual hell is the rest of the draft picks?
CBS sports scouting report reminds me of Brayden Schenn's scouting report ten years ago. One talking head said he isn't a speed burner(Gary Lawless)VGK color guy, but most other report that he has good speed. Nevertheless, comes from good bloodlines and should be ready in 1-2 years to help us rebuild. Go Kings Go! 2 way player ,smart, good everything. Little weaknesses to his game. Will bulk up and fill out his frame too.
Called it 3 months ago that King’s will draft him
MY COACH IS HIS BRO NIC TURCOTTE!!!!
LIKE SO OTHER PEEPS CAN SEE!
Lebron, AD and Turcotte lakers are gonna go all the way baby
Reminds me of Zach Parise
Great pick, welcome Alex!
Go Kings Go from Hungary!
LA has a nice center core for the future Turcotte, Thomas, Kupari, Vilardi and Anderson-Dolan
Good luck Alex ! You have come a long way and you have so much more ahead . Would've liked to have you on the Blackhawks
Best thing that could’ve happened after falling from 2nd to 5th pick. Kings have some nice pieces for the future, just gonna be a painful wait for a couple seasons to let them develop
Reminds me of the young Mike Modano of the Stars. His Coach said that combo of Sakic and Theron Fleury
Turcotte and Kupari will be lethal together
Way to go Kings! Just 1 more tanking to go to get the best odds on Lafreniere Lottery next year! Most Kings Fans will dislike this, but have you seen Alexis Lafreniere play? I am realist – the Championship Window closed at least 2 or 3 years ago.🤔
I’m pissed
If Turcotte turns out to be a Patrice Bergeron type caliber or even 3/4 of Patrice's caliber, I will be stoked plus gonna be Kopi's understudy. Kings may have a future Selke Trophy and/or Captain on their hands. I wouldn't be surprised if he brings another SC to LA.
Um going to play for his hockey team
Yessir
Idk why this got recommended to me but its crazy to think I played with this kid when we were 13 and he got drafted. Time flies
