I'm glad for the guy, because he finally gets a shot to play, but this goes against the Kings typical pattern.
If Parse is out for a while, like is indicated, a skilled guy should be brought up. If a guy like Scuderi goes down, traditionally the Kings would bring a guy like Muzzin up over a guy like Voynov. I'd rather see Loktionov brought up, he's a skilled player. Nothing against Fraser at all, but I would much rather get a look at someone who is going to be with the OrganIzation long term.

I agree. Is there any travel issues we are unaware of? Loki's not hurt or anything right?
Maybe they want Loki at centre and will only recall him if Kopi/SToll/Richards gets hurt?
Either way, glad he's getting a chance to play and show something after the gong show surrounding the trade. Did any ruling ever get made on the deal?
I expect Fraser will be waived at somepoint this season, unless he plays better than Hunter. One of the two will likely be waived this season, but Fraser has less skill, experience and a higher cap hit.
Personally I don't agree with this at all. How much has this guy played in the past 6 months?
Bring up Lokti, move Stoll to wing. Problem solved. But instead we're going to get another grinder who's been out for a while that doesn't provide what this team needs.

Ya I agree he will eventually get waived but after kings see what he has to offer.
I leave Loko down on the farm while we dice out which of our "energy guys" are going to stick around. I like Hunter but he is too slow from injury, EMinem is a shift by shift 6/7 mins at most guys and while we have to wait and see how Tossed Salad will play I have some hope that he might possibly maybe be the guy maybe.
If we aren't considering calling up AA or one of the kids (Nolan etc) then the list is pretty short.
Once we have that spot sorted I think our bottom 6 becomes a very good asset again as opposed to what it is today. *Then* I would cut bait with someone (whoever is the odd man out PARSE) and maybe make room to give Loko another look.
I take back what I said about Fraser, he has played pretty well in his 2 games and got under the skin of Peters and Staubitz against Minny. We were missing something like that on our 4th line...Lewis doesn't really that much grit and Richie has a bit, but Fraser is finishing ever check and getting involved physically.
