Modano a King
Los Angeles, Ca - Waking up this morning, Coach Keenan discovered he had a new number one center in the form of Mike Modano. "What happened to Briere?" said a groggy Keenan when interviewed on the phone regarding the late night move. Actually Daniel Briere still remains in town but going to the East and the cozy confines of Buffalo are Wolski and Steen.
"Well this is a move that definately will help us in terms of scoring. The only problem now is finding a place to give minutes to all the players. It looks like we have 7 top 6 forwards. We have good chemistry and we believe the Modano will give us the leadership and experience we have been lacking for some time. He will immediately step in as captain of the team." said GM Sra on the latest move. "Both Wolski and Steen will have good long careers, but we felt it was necessary to have another scorer and Mike also provides us with good depth in case of injury. We feel it is a win-win for both clubs".
Modano was reached for comment at LAX as he departed the Kings private jet donning a pair of sunglasses. "I am excited to be here. It looks like this team is of playoff caliber and there is a lot of talent here. I think we can make something happen on the ice. I am not sure who I will be lined up with but I am looking forward to it." Modano was then quickly whisked away in the Kings Limo en route to the mansion.
Kings Korner - Rumors have it that the excess of forwards may lead to another trade which sees a forward traded for a defender. Rumors also have it that Cloutier's job may no longer be safe as the Kings are interested in 'tending depth.
