I'm just happy Iginla didn't go to the Oilers. It is a little sad though I will be cheering against him for the rest of the season and there is a good chance LA will miss the playoffs. That said if the Kings do sneak into the playoffs the West is wide open and they have as good a chance as anyone. Didn't they win the cup in 2012 after barely making the playoffs as the 8th seed?

Also, so if LA misses the playoffs or Jarome doesn't re-sign the Avs get nothing? I didn't know you were allowed to trade a player for nothing! You'd think the Avs could have got a 7th rounder or a bag of pucks or anything.
