Brian Campbell of the buffalo sabers is refusing negotiation talks with the sabers about re-signing at the end of this season.

If its one thing we need is decent D-men

Blake-old, slow and only so-useful
JMFJ- IMO our best defenseman other than blake
Modry- He does more to hurt us that i ever could have imagined...
Stu- Playing good as-of-late, earlier in season was pretty horrible...
Preissing- Solid 5th or 6th D-man, no more
Lubo- he is a 4th forward more than he is a d-man

I say do it deano,

opinions?



Sign him deano.

Campbell would be a great addition obviously, but you have to wonder what kind of offers he'll get on the open market. Pay him too much, then what do you pay JMFJ in a couple of years? That being said, at some point DL's gotta be willing to out bid someone for some serious talent.

thats why instead of signing NHL forwards, i say bring up our young guys

moulson
purcell
boyle
simmonds
tukkonen
westgarth
gauther

and obviously hickey and bernier..

im just naming guys that should be in a kings uniform next year, on the bottom two lines at least

If Campbell is refusing to discuss an extension with the Sabres, it may be partly because they're a crappy team, and he's looking to move to a contender. Hard to imagine him putting LA on his short-list if that's the case, regardless of how close anyone here thinks the Kings are to contending for a playoff spot.

EDIT: OK, the Sabres aren't that crappy, but they're gonna need some help to sneak into the playoffs.

That is a valid point, im just saying if deano is gonna spend some money go spend it on guys like campbell not handzus or the like

Campbell is a good d-man but the last thing the Kings need is another smallish offensive minded guy. Not sure if Calgary would go for it but i wouldnt mind trading Cammy and Dallas's 1st for Regher. This would then enable them to trade Tanguay for another d-man giving them a chance to stay out of cap hell.

1st things 1st - extend Anze and Sully.

Then you can do whatever it is you can do.

agreed

[ianmonsta]

i think he actually wants to worry about playing and helping the team try to get into the playoffs more than ongoing contract negotiations, i wouldnt read too much into it

QUESTION about Bernier - Can the Kings call up Bernier to play with the Monarchs in the playoffs once is Junior season is over? I remember the Kings bringing up a couple of young college players in recent years after their seasons were over but I don't remember any from juniors and escpecially not one that had a 10 game tryout in the NHL the same year.

danny boyle instead ...for the money!

i dont think hes old enough to play in the ahl, im pretty sure you have to be 20 to play in the ahl, i might be wrong though

That is a hell of a lot for Regher. Why does everyone under value our players, picks and prospects?
