Currently, the scouts for the Kings, are traveling all over the globe to find up and coming new talent to round out their roster. The Kings are making moves and have added some pieces to the puzzle but still need to fill some serious holes. One of the scouts mentioned to us that they haven't had much sleep and try to catch a few z's at the airport, bus depot or on the transportation they are taking to the next hockey game on the list. Sometimes they are watching two games in one day. An early morning or afternoon game and another at night. It can be a grind, working this job when a team like the Kings is in desperate need of more players. However, this scout did mention that once they get a full roster the workload will die down and things will return to normal. This is actually the best part of the job, according to one scout. He told us that this is exciting because you don't know what is coming next. A true adventure, so to speak. This is because you could be watching an early morning game and you might get wind of some player a few hundred miles away that you need to check out. That makes you have to rush around and not follow a precise plan which can be fun for some of us.

 

Recently the Kings scouting personnel found, Walt Sanguinetti and quickly got him to sign on the dotted line. Walt was flown over to meet up with the team and immediately put into the lineup. This was a major help to the Kings as they had three Defensemen and were in need of a fourth! Walt is averaging about 26 minutes of ice time per game and trying to find his bearings. He only has 36 TPE currently but everyone is encouraging him to get more asap and are hopeful that he does. The sooner the better and the more the merrier he will be. Not only him but the team in general as they have been scrambling with purpose in the last two weeks to get the ball rolling. Walt Sanguinetti or @FusRoDah has claimed welfare for this week and also was able to get to the practice facility but the Kings organization and his teammates really need him to get his biography written, along with his Rookie Profile for a major 18 TPE boost! That would be a 50 percent increase from 36 plus 18 to get him up to 54 TPE in a flash. Die Hards would make a donation to the cause which would mean real cash but the TPE increase would be ridiculous. Either way, we expect good things from this player and are hoping that he can climb up in TPE to get to 100 very soon as he would pair very well with Rookie Derek England. Once the Kings can solidify at least two lines of D-Men they can get back to working on the offense and increase the shots on goal average. You can't score goals if you don't get the puck on net and we expect to see the Kings do that in the near future!
