For those who have inquired, the Kings' first day on ice in training camp will be Sunday, Sept. 13. The first preseason games (split squads) will take place on Tuesday, Sept. 15. As previously reported, the rookie group will be on the ice for the first time on Sunday, Sept. 6.

I assume at some point we'll be able to get a full schedule of activities at the Toyota Center? I want to go down one or two days to watch practices or scrimmages, but I don't know when they'll take place.

Going over the latest depth chart yahoo has posted, I found some interesting presumptions. These aren't the lines, just the depth chart, according to them:
Depth Chart

Left Wing Center Right Wing
Alexander Frolov
Ryan Smyth
Brad Richardson
Raitis Ivanans

Anze Kopitar
Jarret Stoll
Michal Handzus
Oscar Moller

Dustin Brown
Justin Williams
Wayne Simmonds
John Zeiler

Defensemen
Drew Doughty
Sean O'Donnell
Rob Scuderi
Matt Greene
Jack Johnson
Thomas Hickey

The other interesting part of this is how accurate they seem to be with other team's depth charts within our division. Our list just seems to be off, Im assuming, because of the prospects we are hoping on coming up....I don't have an excuse for them for how off they are on the Defense though.

I sure hope the Kings won't waste a valuable roster spot on Zeiler again this year. And I'm not sure Richardson is NHL caliber either.
