Former King report
From the Tampa Bay Lightning...
``TAMPA BAY - The Tampa Bay Lightning have re-assigned right wing Lauri Tukonen to Lukko Rauma of the Finnish SM-Liiga today, Executive Vice President and General Manager Brian Lawton announced. The Lightning now have 41 players remaining in camp. Tukonen, a native of Hyvinkaa, Finland, did not appear in any preseason games with Tampa Bay.''
Tukonen, as you probably remember, was a first-round pick of the Kings in 2004.

Go Clune!!!
Tukonen was a first-round pick of the Kings in 2004 and a is now a bust for 3 organizations...
and the sound of the punctured balloon fizzes away out of earshot....
"...did not appear in any preseason games with Tampa Bay"...wtf??
Stud!
Speaking of former Kings...
Patrick O'Sullivan - HUGE start with Edmonton.
Moulson....HUGE start with Islanders
Cammi - seems to be clicking with Scott Gomez.
Why do I think many of our forwards will be looking up the scoring list at these guys?
Why do you need Lauri Tukonen when you have Martins Karsums?
Larry Green
HUGE start????
To what????
It's exhibition dude...the landscape is littered with players who had HUGE preseasons and ugly or non existent regular seasons.
Let's see when the games count.
