Wideman is first in NHL D goal scoring and 15th in points ...if he is traded it's for something good ...not an albatross contract

Kings can have Engelland and cap relief and be happy with that

Confirmation the flyers won this trade. I'll take Simmonds and Schenn any day over underperformer being waived

By a mile? that is a beyond a stretch. I'd take two younger players who have more potential and longer career ahead of them than someone who isn't even worth having on your roster anymore. Mike Richards didn't win the cup for the Kings himself as well.

He played a role. And there is nothing more important than winning a cup. It trumps everything.

Cup(s)

Sometimes people forget that winning a cup is the main goal. Not individuals awards.

there are no moves to improve us this year. Homer isn't GM so nothing temporary will happen. Shed some D for picks if anything.

Let the kings add Dion..this will help the Avs sneak into the playoffs when he stinks up that Kings D and gets Sutter fired
- DDM-Coga


That was our evil plan all along...get Sutter fired so we can hire him as coach.


Then run him out of town, and tell everyone he's an idiot 2 years from now, when he can't get our lazy team to do anything....

2nd line center with co "C", thats the way he wanted it.
There's no question the trade helped both teams, but both teams were structured differently.

Did anyone ever consider the idea that there doesn't always have to be a winner and a loser in a trade? It can benefit both teams. The Kings just happened to draft better and have better management, so they have seen far more success.

If Bogosian could just share some, Buff would lose some serious weight.

These guys are still young and have long career ahead of them. Never know what could happen. Did people expect the kings to win the cup as an 8th seed? Never.

actually I called them winning the cup that year
