Don't understand why we would weaken Manchester who is having a good season by dealing a guy who could put the puck in the net. Granted, Kozun would not have made the Kings but he was valuable to the Monarchs.

Yeah, but we've gained 8 inches.
Good point, long reach, he has more of a chance to score from the boards than Kozun so it makes sense.

I can only imagine this is either DL doing Kozun a solid and giving him a better chance at making the show or a little bit of a "future considerations" part of the Bernier trade (much less likely). Otherwise, yeah, random move.
I'm sure that's what Kozun wants to be his entire career. A valuable AHLer.
Good move. Wasn't going to make it here, bringing in a guy who fits the system for him. Always liked Kozun but the size was a killer, hate to say it.

Kozun would never make the Kings.
Why has DL weaken the Monarchs? Thats the part that is a bit puzzling...
Talent Analysis from hockeysfuture of Andrew Crescenzi
A hulking center standing 6’5, Crescenzi possesses ideal size for a bottom-six player. Offensively, he can chip in on occasion, but his success is likely to stem from defensive assignments. He moves well for a big man, and initiates contact consistently. Continued focus on his skating, specifically explosiveness, will help him become a regular in the AHL.

Killing a mod is a serious infraction isn't it?

I have every confidence in the world that when the kings get done developing Crescenzi, he'd be one hell of a HS.

So, wait, the Kings are gonna waste this and the 2014-2015 seasons just to fill in their LW, Shoots Left need? 
Seriously, when they had Bordson and Simon Gagné--both fit the "LW, Shoots Left" need--they got declined and traded respectively, that opened up a massive hole on the offense. Never mind the fact the Kings let Penner walk out to free agency.
Geez, just make a package already! Kings have tons of expiring contracts, yet the can't capitalize on those, alongside farm players?
This fees like being a fan of the Aints.

I hope this is tongue-in-cheek because you got me good if so.
If not, well, Bordson is a half-a-point-per-game AHLer who has never sniffed the NHL, Gagne is currently a UFA, and Penner blew up in a spurt but is being healthy scratched on and off (sound familiar?). As sad as we are down the left side, none of those guys is a realistic option.
Agreed on the 'make a deal' though. We are overflowing w/centers and RWs.

So...is Jordan Weal next? Doubt with his height the Kings will ever call him up, despite his skill.
Tim Leiweke moves to Toronto and now we're trading partners with the Leafs.
