...maybe. A 2nd rounder and a conditional 2nd rounder aren't sure fire players by any means. Good point though.

Cloutier can really fight. I wonder if Ron Hextall was pushing to get this guy? Hextall was a fighting goalie too. I wouldn't mind seeing Bryzgalov or Gigure getting pummeled by Cloutier in a Kings sweater.

the Kings are makin some good acquisitions and hopefully dean knows whats hes doin blake is a great defenseman tht will help are defense and power play cloutier has had success in da past and will carry on to us alyn mcauley is like EBEL maybe well see him go and thornton is a physical player and willsie can score once in a while hopefuly dean will surprise us by makin more acquisitions and well visit lord stanley and bring it to LA

GO KINGS GO

We went after Blake because we lost out on the Chara sweepstakes. Come on Blakey is going on 37 in Dec and when his contract is done he'll be 39. I like Blake but one of 10 years ago would have been better. As for the Cloutier, never really had much confidence in his abilities. Has really struggled with giving up bad goals at inoppportune times. I guess Crawford knows what he has and Lombardi and co are putting their collective stamp on this franchise. What they need to get are real front line players...like a Naslund,& Ohlund...I hear something.... it's Lombardi and he's conjuring up another deal...I always liked Lombardi I just never thought he was a great architect...usually when a GM gets hired from another organization he brings players with him...I'm wondering why Lombardi didn't sign Lars Jonsson,surely he had to have known the Flyers were interested in getting him. We could've had another good young D-man to work into our aging defensive corps.
