A couple things that I don’t want to slip through the cracks:

— As already noted in comments here, Russian publications are reporting that Oleg Tverdovsky has signed to play in Russia. One publication said it was a five-year contract. Of course, that’s the same publication that, in a previous story, referred to Oleg’s current team as the “Los Angeles Clippers.” So…yeah. I asked Lombardi about this at the end of the Cammalleri conference call, and today I’m waiting to see if I’ll receive official word about this. If it’s true (and I believe it is, or at least will be), it will save the Kings $2.5 million next season.

— Mike Weaver has signed a two-way, one-year contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins.

— Jamie Lundmark has signed a one-year deal to play in Russia. This actually happened a couple weeks ago when I was on vacation, so I wasn’t around to see if it made news then or not!

— And to answer a question I saw in the comments, yes, the Kings can negotiate an extension with Cammalleri starting next July 1. It’s the same situation as with Visnovsky this summer.
