This list is intended more to reflect value of where they were taken as well as potential. I like Bernier, don't get me wrong, but to me: <br /><br />Lokitionov in the 5th round > Bernier 11th overall <br /><br />I don't think there is any argument that Simmonds and Moller SO FAR have covered the bet better than Bernier. That might change over the next 5 years but that's a different list.<br /><br />Besides, the biggest problem with doing a list like mine for the Kings is that there are probably 3 more guys you could make an argument for to some degree. I think Azevedo in the 6th is a great gamble. <br /><br />The Kings have drafted so well lately, there aren't a lot of 'bad choices' to make the list.Guy Flaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03178739486819659419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677867857097423502.post-65671050767610941512009-05-29T13:27:49.563-06:002009-05-29T13:27:49.563-06:00Not sure I agree with you on the best draft picks ...Not sure I agree with you on the best draft picks of the last 3 years for LA. Jonathan Bernier doesn't make the list? I have high hopes for Loktoinov, Simmonds and Moller but I'd take Bernier anyday over them. <br /><br />Agreed on drafting Kane (unless Atlanta doesn't take MSP).KingsCast Hockey Podcasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01892780883658788911noreply@blogger.com
