I would be very surprised if he did this without some outside advice.

What Locke said. I'm not saying Lombardi is a genius and is doing it alone, but I don't think he is also "throwing crap at the wall and seeing what sticks" since he comes from a background of a lawyer ... its hard for any of us to properly say the whole context of this and who will win, but you can bet that there is enough there by the LAK/NHL that they feel confident enough to move forward with this and they think there is a calculated chance of succeeding.... otherwise they would take the simpler, more obvious solution of just dumping his contract for draft picks.
