if you were to put Cliche on Lewis' shoulders, i don't think they'd be able to contain players like Thornton and Getzlaf (or even Bertuzzi), or take away some of Pronger's room at the point. let alone in less than two years. i imagine we might see Purcell on the PK next season (in a similar fashion to Brown and O'Sullivan) because of Teddy's size and hands.

Nagy and Stuart seemed like a good idea at the time, but then again these guys have been bouncing around different teams for the last 2 seasons. If they were really worth the money, maybe they would have been offered contracts by their prior teams. I'm not going to lie and say I wasn't excited when we signed these UFA's, but at the time it seemed like the Kings were desperate to sign anybody who can fill the holes, and these two appear to have played their best hockey in other uniforms.

they are both in the official s*** or get off the potty phase of their respective careers.
