Inside the Standoff: Why Are the Los Angeles Kings and Adrian Kempe Still at a Standstill?
Futa: “I think that’s, we said that there’s certain teams, LA being one of them, this guy is homegrown talent, and he evolved into something. The one thing we were concerned about when we drafted him was his natural ability to score goals.”
Marchese: “I think he figured that out.”
Futa: “No, but he never was a big offensive producer.”
Bernstein: “Right, he wasn’t.”
Futa: “Every goal he scored was like, you’re like, how you shoot the puck like that, and be a 10 or 15 goal scorer? Now, he’s got the confidence. He’s got the 200-foot game. He loves it there. He’s like, they call him ‘juice’ for a reason. The guy’s all LA. And, I mean, with (Anze Kopitar) moving on, this is the guy that basically has got to slot him with (Quinten) Byfield for, to be the future of this, like the core of this group.
