And oh look, the Kings are the first to show up at the door at Richards' agency!



Like I said, Waldorf, never say never.

Still, you'd think LA needs wingers now that they are set at C...?

^^ I never said "never" :wink:

I just keep saying I don't think Deano will do it....as in Deano will NOT overpay.

We need a LW.....we already have two top of the heap centers in Kopitar & M. Richards.

Well, I won't hate on their team yet because on paper, it looks good. Just very surprised at their direction.

Very. Talk about nuking the team.

More anger than crying. Fuck Jagr. Goddamn sellout.

You woulda thought 1) he would get to play in a new arena. 2) with malkin and crosby. 3) we have a decent shot at the cup again. 4) get point #1600 and retire in a pens sweater. Just very frustrating.

Oh well. at least we weren't stupid and signed our own players, first.

Yeah as an Avs fan this is pretty concerning. They say we are in a rebuilding phase but we give up first two picks next year.

The owners clearly lost in the current CBA.

The next lockout is going to be a doozy!
