Confirmed with Link: Kings trade Cammalleri to Edmonton for Jussi Jokinen

I Thought Carter might need a couple of stiches, but a Febuary return means he has a major injury. This sucks!

He's probably milking it since he just had a kid.

I guess you missed the whole major surgery to repair a torn tendon thing that happened a few weeks ago.

Yep i missed the surgery. For the last 4 years the Kings have had a hard time scoring goals, so when you trade a scorer like Cammaleri i start to panic. I hated watching the last few seasons.

Don't do this. I was drinking some milk and it came out my nose when I read this.

How long has KC been out for??? a month??

Seems longer

Cammy scored points in 3 of 15 games with the Kings. Calling him a scorer is a bit of a stretch.

jokinen with an assist, cammy with nothing WE WON THIS TRADE BOYS CLOSE THE BOOK

Both guys averaged more time in heir first game with their new team than with their old one. 1 game, but, still.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Better fits in both cases, so the ice time increases make sense

No such thing as a mutually beneficial trade on HF.

Kings signed MC in the hopes that he would be a low risk, low cap hit option in the top six next to Kopi and Brown. The Kings found that in an even cheaper, higher upside better all around 23 year old.

Once Iafallo emerged the writing was on the wall. Jokinen will be better in the current role and is also someone capable of playing with Kempe in a 3rd line scoring role once Carter returns. Cammalleri is someone who may be able to catch on with one of the Oilers playmakers and provide some much needed goal-scoring.
