Shuffling the chairs on the Titanic? After a series of losses and two sketchy wins, the LA Kings have shipped out long time powerplay stalwart Brendan Gallagher to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Joining him will be Marcus Johansson, real life bonefide #1 centerman of the Minnesota North Stars.
In return the Kings welcome up and coming Christian Dvorak, and 'guy who is good, and is always around, and no one ever talks about' Victor Arvidsson.
I had been after Dvorak since the first week of my joining the league, and there is a lot of pressure on him to live up to a slight overpay to obtain his services.
The beleaguered Kings GM has been seen wandering the halls, muttering about chemistry being equally important to numbers when it comes to winning.
