Rich Hammond of Inside the Kings on occasion answers questions from the fans regarding the LA Kings,
Question: Given the events of this weekend, it made us all ponder the massive possibilities. With that said, of all of the possibilities which one do you personally see as a good fit for the team (Gabs/Hossa/Vinny/Heater et al)? I realize this answer depends utterly on the conditions of the trade but I’m talking character and talent only.
Answer: I like the way you phrased the question, because when Lombardi looks at these players, character does play a big part in it. But that makes it more difficult. I’d say the best talent is Hossa and the best character is Lecavalier. The best combination of talent and character? Wow…I don’t know. Hossa would probably be the best fit all around, but given the circumstances, he’s probably the least-likely addition. The most likely is probably Gaborik, but I personally don’t think that would be the Kings’ best move. If I’m Lombardi, I’m still hoping for a Kovalchuk miracle.
many more questions answered and make sure to check out the home page too, since questions could go on for a few days.

The best fit for the Kings is to build from the ground up, not sign high priced egos. Kopitar is enough, get some supporting players and a REAL goaltender and you have a team. If they do sign a big name…lecavalier would be better but still…not going to carry the team. Main hurdle is that the defense is just horrible defensively.
