Kings!
Holy smokes! I don't know if I smoked away that part of my brain but I seriously don't even remember a Michael Cammalleri redux. I had to Google it. To make matters worse (for myself), this was only three years ago.
The laundry list of players that the Kings have had over the past 10 years that were once superstars is amazing. I made a joke about it a few years back saying that I would've thought you were nuts if I were told one day I could own an Iginla, Lecavalier, Kovalchuk and Gaborik jersey. At least Gaborik gave us an awesome playoff performance. Lecavalier and Iginla didn't do too shabby given the state of the team at the time and the fact both were on their last legs. Kovalchuk was definitely the biggest let down of the four.

My favorite Cammi Part 2 memory is going to a Kings signing event and having Dustin Brown sign my commemorative 2012 Cup run book on his page and then handing Cammi a napkin to sign instead

He was on a completely different wavelength than the entire rest of the team. He'd try to make cute passes that even Kopitar wouldn't anticipate. I used to think that he was just more creative than the rest of the team, but if you can't adapt, then you're the problem. He would single-handedly kill most plays he was involved in because he was so unpredictable.

Miko Eloranta (IMHO had a very strong first season with the Kings after coming over with Allison; essentially disappeared the next year. Not sure he played in the NHL afterwards?)
Oleg Tevordovsky (when you're getting scratched as a defenseman by Marc Crawford........)
Kip Brennan (I was at the game at Staples when he and Brad Norton took turns ending Kevin Sawyer's career - looked like they damn near ended his LIFE, actually)
Ted Donato (for awhile during the AM era, you could set your watch by him comin'n'goin to and from Manchester. Fun times)

It was an idea. I didn't say it was a good idea.
How could anyone forget Anson Carter's memorable stint as a King?
15 games, 0 goals, 1 assist, -5
Man that was awesome.
Seven players who you forgot played for both the Kings and Rangers

F*** your ice cream!
One of Taylor's very worst trades. Trading for someone he knew was injured who quickly injured the other knee

F*** your ice cream!
Yeah that was awful
the good news is that we did get him for essentially free and he didn't cost us much more than cap space. But that has the be one of the biggest busts ever for us
Worse than Fuhr or Duschene part 2
another guy who comes to my mind is Simon Gagne. Was a shell of himself due to injuries but I was pumped that we had the Flyers 2010 first line as our second.

My favorite part was JR throwing the equipment manager under the bus for sharpening his skates wrong. Because that was his reasoning for not skating well, not that he was completely out of shape.

Gagne, Carter and Roenick were all mentioned on page 1. You guys drinking already? Maybe I should start...

Kyle Calder
Ladislav Nagy
Tom Preissing
I remember thinking Nagy was going to be a sneaky good signing. It felt like he always killed us when he played for the Coyotes, so I figured he'd play pretty well here.
I also thought Preissing would do well, and advocated for the Kings signing him in free agency. He was coming off a cup run the prior year with Ottawa.
