John Hoven

You mentioned, obviously, Kempe now on the line with Byfield and Panarin.

Is it going to be Turcotte? Is it Howla? Is it John Hoven? Who's the number two center this season for this club? Or is that really number one on Kenny Holland's list for some type of addition this year?

Well, I can guarantee you it's not going to be John Hovind, so there's some breaking news here on the hot stove.

Huge

Front office liked him.

You know, John Hoven likes him for whatever that's worth.

So, I mean, yeah, Connors is definitely doing the little things to get you noticed and that earn you time, ice time.

And with ice time, you can continue to do the things that get you more ice time.

Yeah.

You know, John Hoven, particularly earlier in the year, is more frequently there.

He was there today.

But... you know, as important dates come across, you'll get, you know, you'll get appearances from the athletic.

I guess I didn't see this, but I guess there was an article that was out.

I don't know if it was – John Hoven, or again, I, if this was out there and I missed it, but there's a couple of folks talking about, I see 7 million in the chat.

I guess there was talk about an extension of a, of a two year deal at 7 million per.

How does that just out of curiosity for you, just two by seven, are you good with that? Would that would make him still the highest paid defenseman on a AAV or There's Clark seven, five Clark's Clark seven, five.

The mayor, John Hoven.

How you doing, mayor? Mick, I'm doing outstanding because this is my once-a-year opportunity to talk to you.

Yeah, pretty much.

And he scored, and it was perfect, and it was great.

And I'm sure John Hoven is very excited that Kenny Connors scored a goal like that.

It was really good.

So good for him.

Dennis Bernstein was there.

John Hoven was there.

John Hoven, one of Mayer's Manor's team.

Alex was there.

Oh, no, I'm blanking on the gentleman's name.

Are the Kings ever going to be known as an over-aggressive offensive team? No.

But when you just get guys involved, John, you mentioned in the first period, more point shots by the Kings.

And there's the battle right at the top of the crease.

Not in the crease.

All right, there was a goal from Brian Dumoulin, and we're going to talk about offense created from defense a little bit later in the show.

But I did want to address one comment because Meraki Matt said, still thinking about how the Rams charged season ticket holders for a game in Brazil and was corrected by Joey Otey, who says it was the Chargers.

For anybody who hasn't watched it yet, John Hoven and I released Episode 7 of Future Considerations today.

It's about an hour long.

Three games coming up in the next week.

I don't have to do it on my phone again.

There will be an episode of All the King's Men on the King's YouTube that Andrew Lord interviewed then.

I'll probably be one of a very small group of people that are actually there that Friday.

I'm sure John Hoven will probably send a representative.

Zach Dooley will be there.

I'm sure Daryl Evans will be there.
