Injury

"The only worry I had was whether I could get into the right shape," Kopitar said, "the right conditioning that I'm supposed to be in and that I want to be in. It turned out good. Once I got the walking boot off and I could walk on my own, I just started doing a lot of rehab work, getting my ankle stronger. Next thing you know, I was running already."

Certainly sounds like Kopitar is fully healthy. The Slovenian pivot scored 25 goals and 73 points last season. Feel free to draft him as early as the first or second round.

Mats Zuccarello(Right Wing)(RW)|Los Angeles Kings LAK

None

This season, Zuccarello said he also needs to shoot more. Yesterday, coach John Tortorella said while he liked a lot of what he saw from Zuccarello, there does need to be an improvement in his consistency.

Zuccarello looks to make the NHL out of camp and stick for the entire season. The former SEL MVP posted decent totals as a rookie -- 6 goals, 23 points in 42 games.

Drew Doughty(Defenseman)(D)|Los Angeles Kings LAK

None

Unless a deal is reached tonight, Doughty is not expected to be in Los Angeles tomorrow.

At this point, there is no question Doughty would be hindering his development and preparation by holding out of training camp.

The rehab went really well, and I’ve been skating a bit here lately. For a month and a half, actually. So it feels good, 100 percent.

All reports list Kopitar as fully healthy, draft accordingly.

None

Everything else was in place. He’s been skating for the last month. So he’s good to go.

Feel comfortable drafting Kopitar accordingly. Adding Mike Richards to the Kings lineup should only help take pressure off the Slovenian superstar.
