So nice you posted it 7 times?

Marc Nathan said:

you can post it 7 more times, but until I see O'Sullivan nestled neatly in between Kopitar and Richardson, it's just one big pile of stank.

Last Thursday, I finally sent an email to the Kings' web guy asking him to correct the roster errors that always seem to be a problem. In part I said:

"Fans really want to be able to go to lakings.com and see an accurate, updated roster all of the time. Jersey numbers are a no brainer. Every player on the ice has a number and it should be on the site regardless of where each player might end up. Just my two cents, but I have to tell you, a LOT of people feel the same way."

Sure enough, the guy answered my email right away and after a little back-and-forth that I won't post here, he was kind enough to correct the mistakes and log the jersey numbers! So if you see a mistake, let the guy hear it.

I really like keeping the jersey numbers for the forwards and defensemen, for the most part, between 2 and 29. You know, old school.

Wow, I count 7 rookies if you include Richardson and Ersberg (aren't they still rookies??)

And I count 9 if you count Cliche and Clune (they're on the list).

What does everybody think -- too young and a prescription for disaster or the best approach??

Or both??

Well, we've been debating that all summer long, over and over and over again.

Time to drop the puck and see.

We need to sign a player whose last name starts with "N."
