I believe Lubo leads the league in turnovers. I don't remember him being this bad last year.It's obviously well known in the league and they are pressuring him a lot more than the rest of the Kings D.

Find the man a DEFENSIVE PARTNER!

Lubo plays with everyone. He has been paired with Blake, Modry and Stuart. Lombardi has totally dropped the ball in finding Lubo a regular defense partner. If the Kings had signed Zdeno Chara instead of Rob Blake, Visnovsky would be playing 27 minutes a night and the Kings would be in the playoffs. The Kings need a big physical, stay at home defenseman to partner with Visnovsky, until they find one Visnovsky will continue to struggle.

I've figured out why he's become the King of turnovers and bad passes. HE NO LONGER SKATES. Lubo used to be a machine breaking out of the zone, but nowadays it seems as if he's lost his confidence. He looks for the PASS rather than using his strength, which is his SPEED. He need to carry the puck more. Once he starts doing so I think the old Lubo will return... but it starts with confidence.

They should have never offered him that huge contract extension. He is vastly overrated around here. He shouldnt have seen a penny more than 3.5mil/season.

He's having an off year. He has improved every year prior. I'm sure he'll get back on track next year.

I don't know if you were on his bandwagon after that extension CD, at least I was.

That contract might be a little high right now but he has been underpaid for years.

If he was offered $3,5M, he probably would have been gone.

DL knows what he's doing...

Lubo and a select few other vets are the only ones 'in' on this season's tanking plan.

That's an interesting theory considering how well he played last season with even less help on the blueline.
