Is Alex Turcotte still a top NHL prospect or more of a trade piece for the Kings? #LAKings #GoKingsGo #OntarioReign #Reign #Hockey #NHL #AHL #Turcotte #AlexTurcotte #Trade
Ceiling-Phillip Danault Floor-Blake Lizotte Most likely somewhere in the middle. I've actually liked what I've seen from him in his 7 game stint with the Kings, he had an underrated skillset the development of which is really being hindered by injuries. First of all, he needs to get stronger, which will allow him to win more of the mini battles which Danault does so successfully. When he has the puck, he can do really good things with it. I think he'll easily surpass Lizotte, but will he be as good as Danault? maybe, but when exactly?
Wow, had no idea he was being compared to Toews. I always saw him as a Dustin Brown replacement, i.e., close to 20 goals a season (occasionally getting close to 30), but otherwise a grinder, battler, fighter type player. Hope he gets well and I hope the Kings keep him. We need skilled guys with true grit.
