Ben Shelley: Kings acquire Brendan Lemieux from Rangers

Just creates competition for the younger players. Maybe he can scrap and we wont have to ice MacDermid.

Lemieux can definitely scrap but If Frk comes back this season there will be quite a logjam at forward and It will be tough to get Into the lineup every night but we all know how things can change between now and April 12th.

Quite a few players are waiver exempt. But its just to create competition. I also expect Amadio to be waived if he hasnt been already.

Kyle Clifford 2.0

I suspect that this is partly an expansion draft move. LA will expose him and he might be appealing enough for Seattle to take so that they don't take someone that LA has put more time into and would rather keep.

He's already been waived and assigned to Ontario and has played two games for them. It's even less likely that he'll be back up now.

I don’t mind this. He adds much need toughness and can get under teams skins like Tkachuk does, just not as offensively gifted. Almost every team in the Pacific has this type of player so it helps the Kings do now.

Seems like he could add utility in some way. Gritty too.

Damn, Buffalo sure could use someone like that ANYWHERE in their lineup.

Oh wait. He used to be in Buffalo’s organization.

Imagine that....
