Jason Lewis: Kings abound! 8 Potential Olympians Coming from LA

trevor lewis signed, avoiding arb.

Any relation to TL Jason!? lol jk,

I'm glad he got invited. Even if he doesn't make the team this should be a huge confidence booster for him. I'm sure we'll reap the rewards of that in the season.

Haha no no relation to TL! Although I have family out in Utah...I need to make a couple phone calls......

I'm surprised. Lewis has always looked like a bubble NHLer to me.

Nah, Lewis is a very solid bottom 6 guy on any team. Hard working 2 way forward with some offensive upside.

The only mark against him is going 17th overall which in hindsight probably wasn't warranted but regardless, i'm glad he's a King.

I'm not surprised that that is the sentiment from someone who might not catch every King game. I don't at all mean that in a negative fashion either. He is a defensive specialist, and real easy to overlook. He's a ridiculously good penalty killer and maybe one of the best skaters the Kings have had all time. He just lacks a little finish. He's still really young all things considered and could find that sometime soon here. Had a real solid year last year also..was on pace for close to 30 points which I think is what most people expected when he was drafted. That first round tag always comes back on him but when you look at that 2006 first round...that was a real hit or miss draft and I think getting a guarenteed 3rd line NHLer out of it is a score.

But Lewis has become a bit of a fan favorite for his work ethic out here in L.A.
