Tough Talk

“We’re not only going to match any offer sheet, we’ll have enough space to go after your guys. Go ahead and make our day. If you sign our guy, we’re coming back with both barrels firing. You’d better be damn straight that you have the cap space and all your guys are signed.”

-- Dean Lombardi, LA Kings GM

Sourced at Craig Custance’s Sporting News blog. And thanks to Puck Daddy for providing the perfect (and inevitable) response:

“Dang, snap, OH NO HE DIDN’T!”

Sooo....Dean WANTS to overpay the 84 young prospects he has, AND overpay someone else’s second rate unsigned RFA’s? 

I call bluff. (unless it’s Kopitar...)
