On if trading Modry makes it less likely to move another defenseman: ``No. The reality is, where we’re at, we're building a reserve list -- and that includes picks and young players. That has to be the focus. We're the last team in the league. We're in this situation where we have to -- I don’t want to say turn a negative into a positive -- but we have to use this situation to a positive as best as we can. I don’t think you can make that statement that if we move one defenseman, we're not going to move another.''

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.

Gescom is referring that SaprykinFan is the one that is Petiot's brother.
"harrold has been called up.... and there is a big, big trade happening with the kings soon..... its really sketchy right now in L.A."
well, the clues we've seen over the last 2 weeks - someone said that they heard / read "anyone over 25 is available" (which includes Vis) I think there was even a quote from Hextall.
We all wouldn't be shocked if Blake, Preissing, or Stuart was moved..and even Cammalleri, but what if Vis was moved?
