LA Kings make a pair of deals
The LA Kings would like to announce 2 trades:
The Kings sent Talbot to the Ducks for Brandon Prust and a 2nd round pick in 2012. The Kings anticipate that Prust will play in the AHL this year. This transaction provided some much needed cap space.
In the second deal, the Kings acquired veteran sniper Teemu Selanne and 2.5M for 2011 from Habs for Chuck Kobasew, and prospect Joey Hishon; the Habs also re-acquire their 2011 first round pick in this deal.
The Kings are ecstatic with this deal as they have found a top line scorer that will either play with either the Sedins or Malkin and Bergeron. Selanne also provides much needed leadership and experience.
Thanks to both GMS for the smooth talks.
