But I'm betting he gets close to 30 goals by the end of the year. Mind you, I think the Oil would trade him but I don't think they'll get too many offers on a guy who shows up to camp overweight...for nearly five million bucks a year. And I stand by my comment that LA will be heard from...next year. Penner is one of those guys bthat just never looks like he is working too hard…and it makes fans crazy.

Do you think he's in the long term plan in Edmonton? Or, are they thinking he's too lackadaisical? The Kings are looking great at times, but it only rarely ALL comes together. It's difficult to guage where they're at with the style Murray's instituting. We're usually seeing a strong defensive effort, but a worrisome inability to score, especially timely goals. Poor record on 5 on 3's and total punchlessness on 3rd period Power Plays when 1 goal would mean victory or 1 point. What about Penner? Do you think he’s in the long term plan in Edmonton?

They really had their hopes pinned on Garon. But now, Rollie is the number one guy and there is talk of resigning him. Souray has a punishing contract so I don't see him being moved either. I love the Kings, by the way, and think they will emerge next year, much like Chicago did this year. Voukon could be had from Florida and I think that would be a far better option for LA. The Dawg.

I've no real sense of what Edmonton's needs are, but outside of Khabibulin, I've listed Roloson or Gerber as netminders the Kings may do well to acquire. What are your thoughts on what Edmonton may be looking for if these guys were put on the block? And, will Souray stay put in Oil-country through the deadline? Hey Crash,
