I seriously see the Kings moving both Blake and Preissing. I can see DL re-signing Stuart to a 3 year deal. Defensemens that I think DL is trying to get in trades are Joni Pitkanen and/or Francois Beauchemin. I would even trade Rob Blake and Dallas 1st round pick to Anaheim for the Oilers 1st round pick in 2008 so we could get both Stamkos and Doughty. Heck, I would even give Anaheim a 3rd round pick for 2009. We would probably have to take on another player from the Ducks as a salary dump so the trade could work economically. Then the Kings could re-sign Blake in the offseason to a cheaper price. DL mentioned that we need to get "younger" on defense. 2008's defensive unit could very well look like this if everything I mentioned goes accordingly.
Blake
Stuart
Vishnovsky
JMFJ
Pitkanen
Doughty
Harrold
That would be MUCH better than we have right now.
