I am reminded of Steven Tyler when he said...

DREAM ON!!!

[King Taco]

IF he doesn't re-sign with San Jose, he'll return to Buffalo.


Besides, we're not supposed to be upgrading this offseason. We need to do just as badly next year to get Tavares.

Taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavaaaaaareeeeeeeeeeees......... hmm......it just doesn't have the same ring as...

Staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammkooooooooooooooooos.

I would rather trade Cammalleri for Suter, but now it's probably going to take Cammalleri and one of our 2nd round picks to land Suter, or a similar player.

Not Dean's style

We need HARD HITTING D-men.

We already have Lubo to fill those shoes

Of course, some IDIOT will bring this up at the Breakfast meeting.

Really, Not DL's style.

Then explain an older Lubo at 5.65 for the next 5 after 07/08!

It's absolutely his style to make a deal like this.


Then again
Campbell take Blake's place.
Campbell is 10 years younger than Blake.
Campbell plays for the same 6-mil cap number as Blake.
No more Blake.
It will actually help the Kings.

Sorry your right!

It isn't Lombardi's style.

[Cup B4 I Die]

Why would Brian Campbell want to play for the Kings? Or any big name free agent?

You've got 29 better options than LA (right now). The Kings are not in a position(right now) to attract any big names. We saw that last off-season, and I suspect we'll see it again.

Campbell is more likley to take less $$ and go back to play for the team he loves-Buffalo.

Hate saying that, but it's true.

Should take the job of protecting the goalie very seriously.

Hell...Id almost take Todd Simpson or Garth Butcher at this point.

Andy Sutton

DL didn't even LOOK at him.

Because he's a pylon. You **** on Brad Stuart, Andy Sutton doesn't have a 1/4 of the talent of Brad Stuart.

But then again why would I expect you to be reasonable or logical?

[maddenjohn]

I've said it before; now that Stuart's gone we definitely have the most pussy defense in the NHL (sans JMFJ). Getting Campbell woul complete the NHL's first ever "icecapades" defensive squad. Campbell is real good offensively, but other than his 2006 playoff hit on Umberger, he doesn't have the presence of a physical d-man.

You have to have a bigger, more rugged defenseman in your lineup. Now just imagine if JMFJ was 6'5"!

...and named Mike Commodore. ;-)

If we only need one move to prove someone is worth signing, lets lock up Maxim Talbot for $5 mil a season!
