Kings ask Blake to waive no-trade clause (LATIMES)

[rinkrat]

The Kings, as expected, asked over the weekend if Rob Blake would waive his no-trade clause, which team President and General Manager Dean Lombardi said he would only do if he received a legitimate offer.

Blake, 38, will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season.

Blake responded by saying he would only consider it if the Kings could get enough help in a deal with the Colorado Avalanche, according to several sources close to the player. He apparently would not waive the clause for the likes of Detroit or San Jose, both previously mentioned in trade rumors.

He's waiving it for ONE freaking team? How are we supposed to get decent value for him when we're handcuffed by him dictating the ONE team we can trade him to?

DL won't trade and Blake won't approve if it is not an adequate trade proposal.
