Resetting the table

By Rich Hammond on June 22, 2008 4:30 PM | | Comments (2) |

Just so everyone is on the same page, here's a list of some of the important upcoming dates involving the Kings:

July 1: Free-agent signing period begins. This is also when the Kings can negotiate extensions with players such as Anze Kopitar and Jack Johnson.

July 8-13: Prospects camp, in El Segundo. No names have been finalized yet, but I would expect to see both Drew Doughty and Colten Teubert there.

Mid-to-late July: Expected hiring of new coach. The Kings aren't expected to resume interviewing candidates until after the dust settles in free agency.

Keep the ``open forum'' questions coming in the other post. Thanks...

Thanks for your commitment to us fans, Rich.
You hard work is appreciated.

My question
Is DL stiil looking to trade for an under 30 D-Man, even though he drafted 2 D-man in the 1st round.

Doesn't not having a coach in place make it much harder for the Kings to attract free agents? Why would they commit to coming here, when they don't know who will be coaching them?

Rich, Thanks for all the time you spend providing info to us Kings fans!
