LOS ANGELES-- The Kings are one of the major players in this year's free agent market.
After a disappointing season despite the great ones of youngsters Alexander Frolov, Mike Cammalleri and Anze Kopitars, Kings' GM Dean Lombardi was poised to make a splash and improve his club.
He did so, by adding veteran forwards Michal Handzus, Ladislav Nagy and Kyle Calder and defencemen Tom Preissing and Brad Stuart.
These signings tranform this club, as so many others have been this offseason, into a playoff team...
These 5 veterans add skill, size, experience, finesse, grit, power, speed, intelligence... to the Kings' roster.
Here are the Kings' expected lines, with these signings:
Frolov -- Kopitar -- Cammalleri
Nagy -- Handzus -- Brown
Thornton -- Armstrong -- Calder
Ivaanans -- O'Sullivan -- Willsie
Blake -- Johnson
Stuart -- Visnovski
Preissing -- Modry
Cloutier
LaBarbera
This is definately a team to be excited about, and to follow during the 2007/08 season.
