Here’s some of what Kings defenseman Rob Scuderi said Saturday about Friday’s trade from the Chicago Blackhawks: “It’s pretty special for me. It’s been kind of a long 10 weeks since my first trade out of Pittsburgh and getting bumped around a little bit, so it’s nice to come back to some familiar faces and a familiar environment where I had some success and I’d like to have some more.

“I was in Cleveland with Rockford (Ill., of the American Hockey League) and we were going to play Lake Erie for a couple of games. They called in the afternoon. I guess there was a pretty good chance it was going to happen and I was nervous. Is it going to happen? Is is not going to happen?

“Then I got a call about an hour later that it was pretty much official, that I should pack my stuff and start to go. I was definitely the happiest guy in Cleveland, that was for sure. I was hoping for an opportunity anywhere in the NHL, but to come back to a place that I know people, respect people, have a chance to regain success was very, very special for me.”
