Jeff Carter traded to the Kings for Jack Johnson + a '12 first round pick.

Know what that means?

DAT BROMANCE.

Terrible trade for Kings, sure he can score, but he's injured often, he disappears in big spots, and in the playoffs. He has never played on the same line as Richards as he is a center, so one of them won't be playing their normal spot (if they play on same line). Plus, he has a 11 year contract, good for Blue Jackets, not so much for LA, but least those two will get to some better parties now haha.

Kings should have pushed harder to get Nash tbh.

I wonder how far the Betty Ford Clinic is from the Staples Center.

Looks like Edmonton and Columbus are the only two that are done. Everyone else is in striking distance for the right to lose to the f'n Red Wings/Canucks.

Dallas has it as of tonight.

This. Their offense is still going to be weak.

I'm glad Toronto didn't pursue Carter as a top centre. Even though he's from my hometown and our families know each other (his parents are very nice people btw, been back to his house a few times in the last couple years when my parents have gone and they've set up a complete shrine in their basement). He's a centre that plays more like a winger. He relies on key passes and is best shooting the puck coming in on the wing, just like Kessel. I don't think he would complete the line at all.

Rumors have it that Kings are going to be getting rid of Dustin Brown, teams involved are Flyers, Rangers, Bruins, Sabers, and Leafs. Also that inside the locker room, their is a struggle between people who back Dustin Brown as captain, and some who want, Mike Richards as the captain. (basically the Richards/Pronger situation) Getting Jeff Carter seems that the Kings are saying they will have Mike Richards as their captain, and Brown will be on the way out, and I hope he does come to the Flyers, would fit in perfectly, and I'm sure any team would want him.

So interesting to see what happens to him, if he goes anywhere, and read this on hockeybuzz, not bringing it out of left field haha.
