Isn't it great when Lombardi lands that missing piece the team needs and they fit like a glove?

Penner in 2011. He had his ups and downs but ultimately worked out and came up big in the playoffs.

Carter in 2012. What more needs to be said about him?

And Gaborik this year. I hope him and Kopitar are kept together for a loooong time.

Before we got Carter, I never thought Dean was a GM that would pull the trigger on a Gamebreaker. He's proved me wrong twice now.
 
Thank you, Columbus!!

Carter and Gaborik for: Johnson, Frattin, 1 #1, 1 #2 and 1 #3.

Can we have Ryan Johansen next??

Lombardi is the best GM in all of hockey. For the first time in my 40 years of being a King fan I am not worried when deal, signings are being done with him in charge.
 
A few times I have seen on the boards "looks like Gaborik isn't doing much this game". Doesn't matter, because he is not a liability, very smart, gives a good effort and at any given moment, will bury a puck with the very best of them. Any time he has the puck within 20 feet of the goal, he can score.
 
Just comes down to whether he wants to continue playing with Kopitar and rack up points plus be on a contending team, or if he wants a final big paycheck from some other team.
 
I have feeling that if Kings win SC this year, it will be harder to resign Gaborik than if they lose against Chicago (because if they beat Chicago, they'll beat whoever will play from east in final). Because if he get his SC, he'll probably take the highest money he gets, if not he know that with this LA core he'll for sure have good shot for next three years at least...

5 on 5 with Kopi, 5 on 4 with Kopi and Carts, having 3 legit PMDs behind you...
No being double shifted because we have goal scorers on multiple lines, less getting injured since the team play is so structured (just ask JWill)...

When the Kings do bad, he's not at fault; when the Kings do good, he's labeled as an offensive catalyst and game breaker...

I think he'll sign a longer term deal and at a surprisingly low salary. Lombardi gets some change from the difference of cap hit and can make some other signings.

I know what you mean but for this particular player who has chased top dollars all his career and has never tasted champagne from century-old silver, I doubt he thinks one Cup is enough and two is too much. Look at how all the guys are playing, even multi-winners like JWill. You can never have too many Cups. Dude has got 10 fingers yo.
