I hate to say it but the Bolts have done a great job reloading this off season. It's a great team on paper but it's about winning which puts the Mullet behind the 8-ball right away.

KingsFan,

I'm not so sure, while they've loaded up on offense, I've yet to see them address their defense, which obviously bad last year. I'm willing to bet they'll be better than last year, but not as good as Philly.

Don't they still need a goaltender? What about their defense?

I'm still bitter as hell this team got Stamkos. 2nd #1 overall pick in ten years, plus a Stanley cup....yeah, they deserved it.

They really are loading up on the offense... jeez.

Malone, Roberts, Vrbata, rights to Rolston, plus Stamkos... this is what? to replace Brad Richards?

They still have no defense and no proven goaltender. Unless they sign Commodore and Orpik too, I see the Kings being better than they are... again.
