VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS STEAL A TOP PROSPECT FOR FREE FROM THE LA KINGS (Tobias Bjornfot Claimed)



VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS STEAL A TOP PROSPECT FOR FREE FROM THE LA KINGS (Tobias Bjornfot Claimed)

Ooh that’s dirty that is dirty right there the LA Kings yesterday put defenseman Tobias Bjorn fought on waivers and today it was announced that he has been claimed by the Vegas golden knights now Tobias B font is a really interesting name to be tossed around in this conversation

Mostly because when you talk to LA Kings fans that saw him get sent down yesterday in order to make room for brand Clark who and which is not going to be playing today but just letting you know Bjorn fought was kind of regarded in a pretty particular way you see for

Me here as a Vancouver fan who doesn’t really watch La too much but who kind of keeps up with a lot of the prospects has them in the background once in a while I was always a super big fan of Tobias bejn font mostly because when he was

Drafted in the first round in 2019 22nd overall as a regular eyes left-handed defenseman he made history in actually being a part of the LA Kings the very next year he played three games with LA was one of the first players from this 2019 draft to play in the NHL right

After and he was taken outside the top 20 it’s very rare to see a guy taken in this spot find himself in an NHL spot in any capacity just within the next year sure he only played three games games but three games is better than no games

And bjn fought in the shl and the j20 super Elite was a very calm very poised shutdown defenseman I was a really big fan of his game he didn’t produce many points but that’s not really what you got bejor fought for this was a guy who

In his prime he would be a minutes eating defensively minded super conservative guy that could just be a rock you’re not drafting Bjorn fought because you want a 50 to 60 Miro highkin in Quinn Hughes k marar type you’re drafting him because you want that shutdown man think if you’re talking

About California teams like Mark Edward vasic in his prime profiles like that but bjor fought after making his debut with the kings in 201920 spent a little bit more time bouncing around in 2020 2021 he split the season between the shl and the LA Kings had 33 games played for

His first full season with LA the year after he had 70 games played play with the Kings eight assists so not really the most offensively productive guy but then again that wasn’t really the expectation here but as the years have gone on Bjorn fought has been up and

Down this previous season he had 50 games played with Ontario and only 10 games with the LA Kings and then this season nine games played in Ontario one game played in La he got sent down on waivers to make room for brand Clark and we had ourselves some articles going out

There talking about why he was played based on waivers this was mayor’s manner going out there and analyzing the situation from yesterday coach Todd mclen simply has not shown he has any confidence in Tobias bjornfot over the past 18 months this was most evident just last week when bjornfot was on the

NHL roster and available to play if absolutely needed yet the team chose to recall Jacob moar and have him serve as a healthy scratch tonight vladislav gabov was returning from a leg injury mov was in precarious situation himself having already cleared waivers earlier this season he can play a maximum of 10

Games or be on the NHL roster for 30 days total which ever comes first he is now at 28 days on the roster which would have played a part in the decision to place Bjorn fought on waivers as the next time mov needs to be recalled he

Can’t go back down without waivers a move the Kings would not be very interested in at this point so when it comes to the situation in La Bjorn fought has simply been the odd man out he’s played 117 NH games total recording 15 points his lone goal

Came against the Anaheim Ducks should he go unclaimed by another team he’ll be assigned to the rign now there is a chance he goes unclaimed not because of his talent but because of his contract not only is he signed until the end of 2425 he’s also on a one-way deal meaning

That he makes NHL money even when he’s in the AHL should Bjorn F go unclaimed it could actually benefit him in the long run with just 10 total games played this season nine during an AHL conditioning stint last month and one with the Kings back in October he hasn’t seen much

Action getting into a regular rotation of games with Ontario could show LA management that he’s worth taking another look at after this year now when it comes to the situation of course you don’t want to see that happen to a first round caliber guy but

At the end of the day this is just kind of how the LA Kings view him and when it comes to Kings fans I mean they seem to be sort of okay with the way things have gone too here’s the subred thread on our Los Angeles Kings talking about some

Comments here Bjorn F isn’t going to be an NHL player he is so conservative with his play which is odd because occasionally with the rain he’ll stick handle and drive the net but it’s like once every 10 games he’s just too passive a definite reach I’m surprised

This didn’t get downvoted seems like a lot of people highly regard Bjorn font but I’m in the same boat as you I’m just not impressed we gave him time to develop but I don’t want to rule him out as a bust or a first-rounder he’s just not playing up to that caliber Clark

Deserves a call up and deserves a shot at the NHL and in my opinion it’s long overdue well he got sent down on waivers and now he’s claimed the LA Kings have sent over a first round Prospect from Just 4 years ago to the Vegas golden

Knights for free they’re now going to be paying him that $775,000 every year until the end of 2425 and when it comes to what the Vegas golden knights are assembling this could be a pretty solid pickup on the lowkey if you wanted to say that bjornfot could still be an NHL

Caliber guy Vegas has some injuries this year they had some stuff dealt with with Bren McNab at the start of the Season he’s fine now Shay Theodore is still out he’s out for the long term so if you wanted to talk about extra names to fill in spots in the Vegas lineup then

Bjornfot could be your guy also there is the very peculiar situation of them playing pretty much in the same cont and if you wanted to get that scouting report in there I mean what more than a divisional rival to go out there and assess a player who’s entire career’s

Worth of time has been played around that area the Vegas golden knights are last or one of the last teams in the waiver wire pecking order which means that for Bjorn fought he went through so many teams most of the league actually before Vegas put that claim in I’m

Honestly kind of intrigued as to whether or not the Vancouver Canucks would have put in a waiver claim for Bjorn fought 2 because they actually would be last or one of the last teams in the standings I mean Vegas if you go over to the league standings Vegas is right here sixth

Overall in the NHL Vancouver is third I was honestly kind of intrigued as to whether or not Vancouver would have put a claim in too but I guess we would have never known because Vegas was ahead of them either way though the Vegas golden knights if you take a look at their

Roster and their defenseman they’ve got a bunch of guys on the roster right now and a bunch of guys that are in the AHL too doing their thing however when it comes to this list you do have an extra shutdown defenseman type profile that is present in bjornfot now on this team if

The Vegas golden knights really saw value in just a really safe really conservative no risk attached kind of defenseman in bjornfot then hey this is your guy also there is Pedigree of him being a first- round pick just from four years ago and he’s only 22 years old so

There still is time for Bjorn fought to grow develop and become much better than he is right now not going to say he’s going to be an offensive Beast anytime soon like I don’t think any of this point production that was in the junior 20 level is going to translate ever like

At best I see bjornfot maybe as like a 15-point defenseman in the NHL but at the end of the day if he’s getting 10 to 15 points he’s doing his job he’s making the shutdown plays he’s playing conservatively then that’s fine honestly there isn’t really anything else you

Could ask for out of a guy making only $775,000 it’s just due to the opportunity given out to other guys in La that’s why he was sent down on waivers and that’s why they lost him for free so let me know your thoughts in the comment section below about Tobias Bjorn fought heading

Over to the Vegas golden knights if you’re an LA Kings fan how does it feel to lose out on this guy for nothing and if you’re a Vegas fan what are your thoughts on this pickup do you think you needed a player like Bjorn fod in your system did you need another shutdown

Conservative defenseman in there eliminat or not in the comment section below I hope you enjoyed this but R 99 and bye
