Huh?

 

[goosh]

What? Why? No!!

That's nine defensemen without Scuds.

 

[DAkings20]

Boom, Stanley Cup *****es!

 

[Live in the Now]

We're obviously trading a defenseman. That's 9 D (Doughty, Voynov, Greene, Mitchell, Regehr, Martinez, Muzzin, Schultz, Ellerby).

 

[Telos]

The cup is ours. Again.

Someone has to go. Martinez on his way out?

 

[LAKings88]

Who is "Jeff" Schultz?

 

[kilowatt]

The Piece.

 

[SettlementRichie10]

lol wat

 

[kilowatt]

Seriously though, that's a waste of cap space.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Someone's definitely on the way out, then. Crazy! /dominoes

 

[KingsFirstCup]

Gotta be another move coming

 

[Herby]

Martinez is definitely on the market.

 

[Telos]

I didn't think he was that bad in Washington, but this is certainly out of left field. This is Mitchell's true insurance policy.

He fits Dean's criteria in that he's tall at 6'6" and is a couple seasons removed from the NHL +/- trophy with a +50, though on a high octane Ovechkin team...

 

[Sydor25]

Kings are going to have quite the competition for the 7th defenseman spot.

 

[Vic Vinegar]

Hopefully he never plays a game for us.

 

[Shellz]

LOL. Alright.

 

[Captain Mittens*]

Boom, Stanley Cup *****es!

This!!!! The cup is ours

 

[GrindNMuck]

Is this legit? they dont need another D. Unless they plan on trading Marinez.

-They have: Drew Doughty, Matt Greene, Jake Muzzin, Robyn Regehr, Slava Voynov, Alec Martinez, Keaton Ellerby.

- They have no room for him. Muzzin is a full time NHL'er.

-Martinez, has some trade rumors on him. But he will be a bottom 6.

-Ellerby, is a bottom 6 or the 7th D.

 

[Telos]

@Real_ESPNLeBrun: @TSNBobMcKenzie Kings and Caps had actually talked trade on him last season...

Weird. Dean really wanted this guy.

 

[KingsFirstCup]

Well in 09-10 he was +50 that year so at least he can play defense

 

[kingsholygrail]

The Kings shall acquire ALL the D-men!

 

[Tadite]

Dean has a long tradition of picki g up guys off bad years just on the chance they can turn into something. Worst case Manchester gets a big dman. This is a every year type of signing.

 

[GrindNMuck]

At least they got him for 1 year 700k.

That's very cheap. He will block a lot of shots for Quick.

 

[CTKingsFan]

We're gonna be rolling like 9 defensive pairings! lol

Gotta be a trade coming
