Jarrett Stoll will hopefully be the first of three much anticipated signings. Stoll is one of a number of Kings acquired or signed by Lombardi post-injury, character driven players with high upside and one literal knock or injury away from tremendous downside. This isn’t news to anyone who follows the Kings since Lombardi came to Los Angeles.
By my count, the former MASH occupants included Alyn McCauley, Michal Handzus, Brad Richardson and Jarret Stoll. McCauley did slightly better
barely since he managed to ice ten whopping games than Taylor's signing of Bure who never played a game. Handzus iced a season but was hardly the $4 million dollar man. The latter two, well one of those still are not signed and the other has more headlines for his personal life than his day job.
In my research to get to know Stoll better, I found pages and pages about his relationship, now engagement and house purchase with Rachel Hunter. It took more time to learn about Jarret Stoll –
the hockey player. Last off-season, Lombardi met with season ticket holders and described players fitting in three categories: Stars, Superstar and Winners. Lombardi continued by saying the importance of players with Final Four experience. Stoll appears to have both in spades. Hockey's Futures added another inviting adjective with winning -
leading. High praise indeed, read for yourselves:
