Thread: Dean Lombardi, Darryl Sutter to get long-term contract extensions from Kings

They're going to renew Sutter after barely half a season and the team barely squeezing into the playoffs?? And renewing Dumbardi just as they are waiving the fourth overall pick, who hasn't played a game in the NHL?? Pathetic.

I've always said that it means I don't care if they ever win another game. Everything from here on out is gravy. That being said, congrats to both those guys. I give it till next August before people start calling for their heads.

But the opposite.

Extending the contracts of Lombardi and Sutter and soon, that of Luc Robitaille, the Kings' president of business operations, "has created great predictability and certainty no matter who the owners are," Leiweke said.

I read that as "they added a zero to our asking price"

Looks like Luc just got his extension.

LeBrun says Lombardi's and Sutter's contracts are each four years, with Sutter's starting now and Dean's starting next year.
