The only thing i can think of is to make room for Williams to bring him back into game shape by playing him 5-10 minutes a game on the 4th line until he's ready for more minutes.
How long until that happens, though? It sure seems like Murray's going to neuter Kopitar and Brown by keeping them together until then. That's effectively eliminating a whole line from the team.
wait, has the Zeus-Fro combo. I.E. the players with the best chemistry and have been the most consistently productive over the past few months, seriously been broken up? Goodbye secondary/all scoring then

I think you read that right. Basically TM seems to be following the old adage:
and for merry measure, Frolov is being moved over to right wing.
It better work out TM:
Quote:
“I used Fro on the right before the break. It happened during a game, and I liked what I saw. He can make that adjustment easily, and to be it opens up an opportunity for him to use his shot off the right side. On the left side, he ends up, quite often, delaying and finding weak-side D. He makes good plays from there, but this gives him an opportunity to use his shot coming down that side. That’s what I’m hoping I can accomplish out of the change.”
Incidentally, I talked to Frolov today for an upcoming feature, and he didn’t seem bothered by the move.
Every time the Kings have a bad game Murray changes the lines up then it takes 2 or 3 more bad games until he changes them back to what he had when they where winning... Does it every time.

Yeah especially, remember that one time back in January where after a couple losses and then a tough game we won against Buffalo he next game put Richardson & Simmonds w/ Kopi and moved Smyth down w/ Stoll & Brown, remember, and Terry benched Bobby Boucher and then the Kings went on to win like 8 or 9 games in a row with that lineup ... 'member, oh man that was so bad ... I hated that, 'member that ...

And looking at our Record this year ... I DON'T EITHER ... Terry can mix it up how ever he wants as long as the team finds ways to WIN.

I can't remember everything. Brothers gotta vent...
I guess fans shouldn't want the team to be as good as they can be. My bad.
No one is saying that, but the Kings have what the 4th or 5th best record in ALL the NHL. Not one of us thought we'd exactly be in this position at this time of year, so SOMETHING is working for this team ... and I doubt much of it comes from what line combo's the Fan's want. That's a game best left for NHL '10.
