They are 10 pts up from picking 5th overall.
They have lost Pearson for the rest of the year. Tofolli has Mono and is expected to be out another couple weeks.
Missing Voynov has Doughty averaging 29:23/game rather than 24-26 that he was used to. He is only a +1.
The long term plan is to dump Richards for cap relief. The short term plan is that this just does not seem to be their year. They might be looking at what they can get for upcoming UFA's Regehr and Stoll.

Shrug. We could have an argument about where LA is going to finish, but bottom line that pick is not all that enticing to me. The prospects in that range aren't slam dunks. I think we're better off not having Richards on the cap to play his way to Stockton or wherever the hell our next AHL team is.
