Draft combine blog
TSN.ca is doing an extensive blog about the NHL's draft combine in Toronto, where general managers and scouts are getting a look at some of the top prospects. The only mention of the Kings so far is about Dean Lombardi talking to Nikita Filatov. I think it would be more interesting to read about Lombardi talking to Doughty or Bogosian, but oh well. The blog is a good read...

J.P. Hoornstra writes about NHL and IHL hockey for the Los Angeles Newspaper Group. He welcomes any and all dialogue on the finer points of hockey.

Jill Painter joined the Daily News in 2000 and during the last eight years she's covered the Dodgers, Cal State Northridge, UCLA, Kings, golf and everything in between. Even though she's from Colorado, she still freezes in the Staples Center press box but always manages to thaw her fingers in time to make deadline. E-mail Jill at 

Hey Rich, what exactly are the events of the combine?
Man, I like what Lombardi is doing here, but he is so freakin wierd. Maybe thats a good thing? I dunno. I like what I read about Bogosian.
Does anyone know the picks LA has?
I know of 2, 28, 32, 47 then I've seen different picks from there on out.
Thanks
