What do they have in common? They’re all more likely to be members of the Los Angeles Kings organization than this person:

Evgeni Malkin (born 1986), Russian ice hockey player

Here it is, straight from Dean Lombardi’s mouth 15 minutes ago:

“There’s absolutely nothing to it,” Lombardi said of rumors that the Kings might trade for Malkin. “I talked to (the Penguins) as part of my due diligence to talk to every team. Then I hear all these reports that we’re getting him. I had to call Ray (Shero, Penguins GM) this morning and say, `I hear I’m trading for him. What am I giving you?”’

OK?

Another short, more general update coming soon…
