Like I said in the post below, I’m working the Bertuzzi story so I won’t have time to transcribe Lombardi for a while, but here’s some quick answers to questions you might have:

— He’s really fond of Handzus, has been since his days in Philly and believes he’s a hard-working impact player. No concerns about his knee being an issue.

— Nagy got a one-year deal basically as a trial balloon. Dean pretty much said that now is the time for Nagy to put his issues behind him and go forward.

— Having Visnovsky on the roster was a bonus in terms of signing Handzus and Nagy and, on the flip side, Lombardi believes having those two guys will help the Kings in terms of retaining Visnovsky.

— They have started talking to Visnovsky about an extension and definitely want to keep him. They have not yet started talking to Cammalleri, but will now.

— The stuff from yesterday…he was convinced early that Briere would stay East. As for Drury, he said playing for the Rangers was a big draw and that the whole house-in-L.A. thing was overblown. In relation to Gomez, he made a general statement about how he just wasn’t willing to give out seven- or eight-year contracts. He talked about the Rangers’ payroll and how it might leave them vulnerable to an offer sheet to Lundqvist. Foreshadowing, anyone?

— Dean is essentially done on the FA market but said he might be looking at one more thing. It didn’t sound as though it would be major.

Like I said, I’ll transcribe later. I think those were the major points.
