Tonight’s preseason matchup between the Los Angeles Kings and the Anaheim Ducks may have merely been an appetizer for tonight’s second China game for many. For the management (and for any interested observers), however, this was an opportunity, one that most coaches would kill for. We got to watch a bunch of players with very little experience and very little shot of cracking the NHL — aside from a few exceptions — take on a largely NHL-quality squad. One game does not an evaluation make, but how valuable is it to watch young forwards try to score on John Gibson while prospect defensemen and depth goalies try to stop Rickard Rakell and Jakob Silfverberg?
