"Given where we are right now, you certainly have to be active," Kings GM Dean Lombardi told The Canadian Press. "We've got some players who are free agents and we're in last place in the league. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure it out."
The key unrestricted free agent is Rob Blake, a 38-year-old star defenceman who controls his fate with a no-trade clause. Lombardi and Blake met last week to discuss the situation and will meet again probably later this week.
"There have obviously been a number of teams who have called on him," said Lombardi. "Since Christmas he's played at a very high level. But we'll see what happens."
