UPDATE: 9:42am est
Just got a text from Montreal, Kings still in pursuit of Sturm
From earlier...
According to this morning's L.A. Times, Lombardi denied rumors that he's the top suitor for disgruntled Ottawa left wing Dany Heatley with a package consisting of winger Alexander Frolov, an unspecified top-notch defenseman, and the No. 5 pick.
"I have a little bit of concern when it's the second time the way this has happened. If we're going to bring in a guy like that we've got to look at it closely, positive and negative," Lombardi said, referring to Heatley's requests to be traded by Atlanta and, more recently, Ottawa.
"The second part of that, don't forget this is very different than a free agent. In terms of what their version of what it would take to move him, that was fairly steep in my mind. . . . They're not going to give this guy away, nor should they."
He also said he has "nothing going on" with Tampa Bay for Vincent Lecavalier, whose 11-year, $85-million extension kicks in next season.
"If you made a deal for Heatley or Lecavalier, that basically takes you out of free agency," Lombardi said.
The Kings are expected to make a pitch for soon-to-be free agent Marian Hossa, though they're probably too far from Stanley Cup contention to attract his interest. They might have a shot at productive but injury-prone winger Marian Gaborik but could be reluctant to do anything but a short deal.
