« Nothing expected today | Main | Cammalleri update »

Quotes soon

I just talked to Lombardi, so I'll have some quotes up in a little bit. (I'm also stalking Barry Bonds tonight. Good fun.) The only real news of the day is that Cammalleri will get a two-year contract, regardless of how much it's worth. I got some insight from Lombardi about what the hearing was like. I'll post it ASAP.

And please stop with the Raycroft stuff. I'm thinking of banning the term ``E3'' unless we're talking about an error committed by Dodgers first baseman James Loney.

2 years regardless of what it's worth...so, regardless of what the arbitrator awards, Dean will take it and offer Cammy 2 years?

Rich... Your a hell of a man :) I don't know what all us fans would do without you...!!!

You Rock!

2 years thats a little short but hey i'll take it :D

Gary B said:

The arbitrator is going to award 2 years, DL is going to accept it, he doesn't have to offer a contract.

PolarBearOne said:

LOL! Nice e3 reference Rich. Hey, if you do run into Barry tonight, run into him REAL hard. Preferably, with a fist, headbutt, or karate kick.

Sounds like good news on the Cammalleri front. Hopefully, the two-year deal is for something not too out of proportion.

Dave said:

I'm glad its a multi year deal, just wish it was longer. Please ban "e3" postings, it would make the world a better place.

joseph skull said:

you suck! Cammy is not getting a two year deal.

HockeyOnly said:

Well "Skull" please enlighten the rest of us since it seems that you are on the inside and know what the Arbitrator is going to how long and for how much and that Rich sucks. You must be a Duck fan who's upset that Penner flew the coop. Besides how can you say that about a person who has been giving the L.A. Kings fans something they haven't had as far back as I can recall and I know for a FACT that no other Kings GM ever called a reporter to tell them what was going on with the team. You owe him an apology.

Hey Rich...

I just have to clear my name for the record... The E3 reference was complete sarcasm. Again, thanks for the great blog you've got for us.

Rich Hammond said:

No worries, Aaron. That wasn't directed toward you, just toward the mass hysteria that seems to pop up everytime an Internet rumor surfaces...

Christian said:

Rich you are spoiling us. I have never felt so good to be a Kings fan and much of that comes from the the inside knowledge you provide to us. Can't wait for the season. This site is going to be so big and exciting once the Kings start winning.
