from Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun,
Tom Preissing is going to La La Land.
The Senators defenceman has agreed to a four-year, $11-million deal with the Los Angeles Kings which will pay him $2.75 million per season.
Preissing made $600,000 last season.
The deal still has to be finalized before it’s official.

One line from the story was accidentally omitted. Now fixed.
update 4:09pm, CP has confirmed,
Preissing will earn $2.75 million a season, a huge over the $600,000 he made last season in Ottawa.

But geez, it’s one hell of a pay raise for Preissing, wouldn’t you say?

Noone wants to play for a team thats been mismanaged for the past 40 years and is almost a lock for the bottom 5 of the league next year. The unmeritted pay increase should help though.
