Prospect notes

Hopefully the blog will be cooperative tonight. As I'm eating dinner here at Staples Center, I'm reading the prospect material provided by the Kings and found it interesting that Brian Boyle is one of only two first-round picks from the 2003 draft not to have played in the NHL. Gabe Gauthier and Ted Purcell have scored points in the past five games for the Monarchs.
