From LAKINGS.COM MAILBAG: Jim Fox on Voynov/Voinov and Jimmy Neutron
by Quisp • • 4 Comments
“If everything goes normal and the Kings suffer a normal amount of injuries, not too high, not too low, I would expect them to not spend any time with the Kings this year,” Kings television analyst Jim Fox said. “With Voynov, the Kings already have a lot of young defenseman, and to add another one…
New Post, in which, instead of earning money, I decide to crunch cap figures related to the preposterous Sedin twins to L.A. UFA rumor
by Quisp • • 0 Comments
Here’s why I don’t think the swedish twins in socal rumor makes any sense, especially not Deano sense. Math. The twins want $12MM/year. The Kings, after re-signing Johnson and Purcell, then adding $12MM for the Sedins, would be at at least $58MM. $59MM if Hickey makes the team. So we have to dump one big salary.…
From Sportsnet.ca: A trade rumor I want to say is idiotic but is probably just … well, I hope it doesn’t happen. Not for Simmonds anyway.

Meanwhile, 300 km up Highway 2, rumours persist that Edmonton GM Steve Tambellini is shopping one of his four offensive defenceman in an attempt to kickstart the rebuild in Edmonton. We’re hearing Sheldon Souray to Los Angeles — where his children live with his ex-wife, a long distance relationship that Souray has found taxing through two…
Via Matthew Barry: Lombardi tells Purcell to get to the blue paint, talks Calder and Army, and gives Boyle the Teeniest Wisp of a Last Chance Not to Suck
by Quisp • • 0 Comments
There are still many questions to be answered up front. Is Purcell ready to take it to the next level? “We’ve driven into him “you’ve got to get to the blue and you’ve got to pay the price””. Will Moulson be back? Will there be several surprises this season as we had with Wayne Simmonds…
Via Matthew Barry: Dean Lombardi on Simmonds, Moller and Doughty
by Quisp • • 1 Comment
Matthew Barry at HockeyBuzz.com did an interview with Dean Lombardi that’s got so much good stuff in it, I’m carving it up into its tastiest bits. But with such a young nucleus, I asked if he worried about bringing up players too soon and could those added pressures have an effect. “Yeah! (laughs) This team…
Hockey’s Future Spring 2009 Organizational Rankings, 1-10 – Hockey’s Future

4. Los Angeles Kings Strengths: The Kings’ prospect pool remains very deep. The top of the class is diverse in all positions. A group of forwards highlighted by Oscar Moller, Ted Purcell and Brian Boyle – not to mention under-the-radar center Andrei Loktionov assure the Kings will be strong up front in the foreseeable future.…
cut-and-paste of my own comment from Inside the Kings, just so I don’t forget I said it and because it’s so hard to find anything in the Inside the Kings archives
by Quisp • • 0 Comments
The season after next will be interesting cap-wise, as [commenter "src3" on the Inside the Kings "board" said] said. Not just because of Frolov being a UFA and the cap coming down a bit, but also because both Quincey and Quick will be RFA. Next year, Fro’s hit is 2.9, Quick’s .8, Quincey’s .6, and…
