Matthew Barry: Dean Lombardi Transcript From Hockey Central
Q: How were you on the Dustin Brown suspension?
We went over that in his hearing. I donât know what a playerâs supposed to do there, because if you look at that play, heâs got to play the puck and you teach a player in that situation to do two things. You either proact to the guy running you, or you absorb the hit, come off the boards, and explode. Those are your...
Matthew Barry: Will Lamoriello Fleece Lombardi Again?
Ilya Kovalchuk was all but wrapped up to play in L.A.
Andrei Loktionov was stolen for a 5th round draft pick
Dean Lombardi's so called "mentor" could sell snow to the Eskimo's.
Will he do it again this off season when he convinces Lombardi to part with the heir apparent to Brodeur, Jonathan Bernier for a measly 1st round pick and some prospect unlikely...

Regehr eager to chase Stanley Cup with LA Kings
Robyn Regehr says he gladly waived his no-trade clause in Buffalo for the chance to chase the Stanley Cup with the Los Angeles Kings.

Matthew Barry: With Regehr a King - L.A. Has to Make Roster Spot
Tim Mathison is no Aaron Ward!
He said earlier to "take it to the bank" - I did, but the interest rate sucks!
Considering Dean Lombardi has made a living with 2nd round picks, giving up TWO for a rental was a steep price, but if Douglas Murray was worth two 2nd round picks, so was Regehr, who is reunited with his Calgary coach.
Not to worry, Dean will get back...
Matthew Barry: Kings (AEG) No Longer For Sale - Leiweke Out!
Did not getting football in L.A. cost Tim Leiweke his job?
According to Reuters, AEG head honcho (and Kings owner) Phil Anschutz has pulled the FOR SALE sign off of AEG.
Leiweke has been a huge (and patient) supporter of Dean Lombardi who was arguable on the verge of losing his job last season had the Kings not made the playoffs. He made bold moves by acquiring Jeff Carter...
Jeff Carter’s Hard Work Paying Off
from Kevin Allen of USA TODAY,
General manager Dean Lombardi believes that Jeff Carter's recent goal explosion is simply the dividend of sweat equity.

"They had the pylons out and it was hot, and I could...

Kings make player moves, say more could come
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Kings defenseman Rob Scuderi's eye still looked awful, and the contrite player who inflicted the damage, Brandon Dubinsky of Columbus, found his wallet 10,000 lighter.
That was the backdrop to several other developments. Kings Coach Darryl Sutter called out his young defense following Wednesday's practice here. And, unrelated, Kings General Manager Dean...

Matthew Barry: P.K. Subban to the Kings?
Mitchell is getting older - Scuderi is in the final year of his contract - Subban and Doughty for the next 5-6 years would be just brutal to the opponents of the Western Conference.
If the Habs ARE willing to deal P.K., a Western Conference team would make sense.
Is P.K. a Dean Lombardi "right fit?"
What would it cost Lombardi? They don't need Bernier and its...

Better than Kevin Shattenkirk (drafted 14th)

The Kings are eager for that celebration, but they're also ready to get back to work on defending their title. With their entire roster returning intact from last season's eighth-seeded championship team, they...
