Matt Ellis was the subject of a story in his hometown paper, the Welland Tribune. Ellis talks about how he’s glad to be a part of the Kings organization, even though he left a winning organization in Detroit (via waivers last season) and he’s not assured a roster spot with the Kings.
Ellis said, “Last year going into Detroit I knew I’d be battling for a job. This year, the whole Kings organization (has) new faces … they cleaned house with the coaching staff. … Going into this situation, it’s again about making a new first impression. I’m excited to get down there and seeing what (Kings head coach) Terry Murray is all about, get acquainted with some of the new faces and take it from there.”
The picture, by the way, is from the Welland paper. Ellis is working out in his hometown, wearing Kings gear.
