I can start one about how great it is that we got rid of him! Want me to start that one?

Do ya?

Do ya?

We had Cammalleri and let him get away?

SACRE BLEU!

No doubt he's having a great series, but to say he'd be having the same success here is really impossible to tell. Sniper or not, he probably would have fallen into the 5 on 5 scoring slump most of the team had anyway.

Cammy for Conn Smythe has a nice ring to it.

Mistakes notwithstanding, those moves were made with a purpose, and he's always made moves with the intent of trying to rebuild. Cammalleri didn't fit in the long term plans.

Exactly, no snipers needed on the Kings. We have character players.

Yeah, that's it...

Cammi = not a good fit for this team.
Cammi = a good fit on the Habs.

Moral of the story? Find something more productive to do with your time here than pretend you would have done a better job with the Kings than Lombardi has.

"I had a great time playing in L.A., don't get me wrong, but when I got to Calgary and got to play in front of those fans, in that atmosphere, it was great and I knew that's what I wanted to do during my next contract," Cammalleri said.

But don't let words from his own mouth stop you...

Cammalleri wasn't worth the money? The Kings didn't need him at the time? You people should be ashamed for making comments like that. He is one of the premier players in the game today. Oh, I forgot the Kings have an abundance of those. And who exactly did they get for him? No wonder this team is where they are, while Mr. Cammalleri is that much closer to the Stanley Cup and a Conn Smyth trophy. Pathetic organization.
