Who are some of the former superstars or big names that had, should you say, forgettable stints with LA? You know, players that we had 10 years too late.

Jarome Iginla
Vincent LeCavalier
Not a superstar by any means but he was a top 5 defenseman in his absolute short peak, Dion Phaneuf

He almost dropped it and I remember him yelling for KOPI!

Steve Shutt
Ralph Backstrom (left for the WHA after scoring 49 points in 63 games for the Kings)
Ron Grahame (Boston kicked the Kings ass in that deal. The Kings acquired Grahame for a 1st round pick which Boston used to select Raymond Bourque.)

Rick Martin

The 90s had quite a few of these types, like Neal Broten, Rob Brown, and Petr Klima. Grant Fuhr really sticks out for his god awful performance here.

Then you have the likes of Valeri Bure and Alyn McCauley. Household names among us Kings fans.

How about Rick Martin part of the French connection line in Buffalo, 1 game for a first round pick and you thought bishop was the biggest waste

Kings were able to squeeze 4 games (6 points) out of Martin. Great deal! :sarcasm::laugh:

1981-Mar-10 Traded from Buffalo Sabres to Los Angeles Kings for round 3 pick in the 1981 draft (Colin Chisholm) and round 1 pick in the 1983 draft (Tom Barrasso)

Getting guys like Mitchell and Regehr on the squad was pretty cool for me. Always was low-key interested in their careers after noticing them years earlier.
