@bestdanghockeygoals The later part of that sentence is huge, the Kings got Richards! Losing Smyth is more of a bummer, hopefully we can get an upgrade.
@06giroal Ha! Well, we'll see. Yeah, we need a LW now, ideally an upgrade over Smyth. Still not seeing a "frenzy" on July 1, but hey, you never know. Dean Lombardi has been shocking me lately with his moves. Who do you want to see, not counting Brad Richards?
@MrCpte310 I like it. Gives us that 2nd line center that we've been needing, no offense to Stoll. Simmer was expendable and Schenn is a question mark that most likely won't be better then what Richards is now. Plus, he's only 26 and has a good contract.
@ChrisKaliszewski A little suprising Bieksa has said he is willing to take a pay cut to stay in Vancouver.But Ehrhoff is more likely to go I'm sure he would do good with the Kings.
@sandman8185 I think its almost guaranteeing that Bieksa will stay in Vancouver. I heard in recent rumors that Ehrhoff will stay in van as well. It's just a rumor so anything could happen
@Gaylel1 It did, but you can't keep everyone. Losing Simmer sucks but he's a 3rd liner, we have lots of guys who can fill that role. Richards brings us a complete game up the middle. I'm stoked!
Smyth will get moved for a pick (2nd or 3rd), a prospect & maybe a roster player. I think Dean will go after Parise because even though NJ is taking him to arbitration, he's a UFA next year & they won't want to lose him for nothing. Also Moller will get traded since he can't crack the line up here if he can play for another NHL team, I bet he'd stay in the NHL then go back to Sweden.
@ChrisKaliszewski that was my first reaction to it, after thinking about it for 5 minutes I like it.. My first thought was what it means for Smyth, or if the Kings will make a play for Brad Richards still, or what.. I hope that DL still makes an offer for Brad Richards, because I think that makes us serious contenders. I just want to know what is next for the Kings. I did want to see how Schenn would do as well, but I guess the most we would have hoped from him is to be like Mike Richards.
@rockon4ever182 You nailed it in the last sentence. Richards is what Schenn can only hope to be. Richards has the Cup experience, was a captain, has scored 30 goals, etc and he's only 26. With this move however, we won't be seeing a push for Brad Richards. Now we just need to wait and see what happens with Ryan Smyth and whether or not we'll need another veteran LW. Parse isn't going to cut it.
He a Duck!! no Duck deserve us to say congrats to them...LOL nah am joking but i still hate th educks but i guess he deserves it..
and congrats to Captain Brown he deserves it :)..I hope next season will be the Kings year to shine and go deep in the playoffs.I like Smyth he a very good player but he old i think it is prefect for him to retire to the first team that got him to play hockey that is Oliers
I'm watching Last Call in the background and the lead singer of this group called Ra Ra Riot is performing in purple shirt with a big old school Kings crown on it. sweet.
worth staying up late for the latest KingsCast : )
@sandman8185 Not quite but up the middle @ center with Kopitar, Richards, Stoll they are. Same with goaltending and D. Kings don't however have the 3 "great" lines...yet. Pick up a solid LW and I'd say they're close.

This trade needed to be made. As much as I like Simmer, this was a step in the right direction.

@Gaylel1 Yup, Simmonds was expendable. You can't keep everyone. Richards fills a big void and he's got the character component too. Good trade!
