Kings reportedly looking to add both a top-six winger and a defenseman

Kings have protected Cal Peterson but are not protecting Quick.

1. Kings Sign Phillip Danault

   Former Canadiens center is headed to LA on a 6-yr, $5.5M AAV contract

   LA Kings@LAKings

   Welcome to Los Angeles, Phillip Danault!  The LA Kings have signed the forward to a six-year contract.

[deepdrive]

So, it looks like the Kings are going in big for next season.

Do you think the Ducks will be lonely tanking for another year by themselves?

Well, maybe not too much if next years draft is as good as they say.

Buffalo and Arizona say hello

[deepdrive]

Yeah, but Buffalo and Arizona have been down and out for so long, they're not even fun to be around anymore.

Their company does beat Edmonton though.

Los Angeles Kings At 50-Contract Limit

23/23 roster, and 50/50 on contracts.  While I'm hoping the Ducks can get Eichel at a reasonable price.  I now have a feeling that the Kings might push a lot of chips in to land him.  

[Tank]

Kings news and notes: Chromiak signed, Cal Peterson extended.

Peterson should supplant Quick at some point this season as lead goalie. 

[arch stanton]

I think that already happened

I do, too.

Ouch, not a way to start the season.

Kings’ Quinton Byfield Out Indefinitely With Fractured Ankle

Yeah, that’s a tough loss. There were varying opinions on where he was going to start the season, but that’s no longer an issue.

Here’s hoping the Angels medical staff stays away from him completely.

Good news.  It's an ankle, not an arm.  So Angels medical staff will not be consulted.  Not that they know what the difference is.

[Tank]

Wow, what an opening night! 6-2 win over Vegas where Doughty scored 4 points (1-3) and Kopitar set a franchise record with 5 points on opening night, including a hat trick. Solid play all around from everyone.

And solid goaltending from Peterson

[Angel Oracle]

Even in defeat, a pretty even game vs the Wild, just a bad 10 minute stretch on defense did them in.

SEVEN pts for Kopi after two games 

[Tank]

7 points for doughty, too.

[arch stanton]

So former Ducks legend Jani Hakanpaa did his best to cripple Doughty on a nice knee to knee hit. That's a bummer

[Angel Oracle]

Winless after the opener, still many moons away 

[Angel Oracle]

Looked a lot better this weekend, sweeping the Habs and Sabres at home.

[nando714]

6 points in 3 games 

and beating STL. Not a bad home stand so far before the Canada trip 

[Angel Oracle]

8 points in 4 games before that trip 

3-2 OT win over NJ, Iafallo winning it
