These rumors are getting ridiculous. Look at this:
"At the moment, the most widely held theory is this. The New York Islanders are apparently not convinced that John Tavares is worthy of their first over-all pick, and will take Swedish defenseman Victor Hedman. That leaves Tavares for Tampa Bay, and with Steven Stamkos already on the roster, the Lightning would have a nifty one-two punch featuring a pair of the game's most promising forwards.
They would then deal Lecavalier to the Los Angeles Kings for a package that would include American defenseman Jack Johnson. It is widely known that the Kings intend to try to make a big splash of some sort this summer. They had been leaning towards going after a free agent, but a trade for Lecavalier would work almost as well."

If Tavares was still available by the time they get to the #5 pick, which I doubt he will be, but I can dream can't I? I'd hope and pray that the Kings picked him. That's saying if they don't trade their first overall pick. Kovalchuk anyone? I got to see him during the World Junior Championships in the Canada vs. Sweden game. I wanted Sweden to win, cause Oscar Moller was playing, but Tavares impressed me a lot.
Now back to the point...Dean Lombardi, please don't get rid of JMFJ. Wait for Free Agency, and leave our defense alone. Terry Murray spent the season working on making the D stronger and it proved successful. It's only going to bet better and stronger. Why shake that up by getting rid of one of the Kings best Dmen? They need to just lock him up and sign a free agent forward. Get a winger to take some pressure off of the forwards that are playing out of position. It just makes more sense to go that way.
And another rumor going around:
"Drew Doughty and the #5 going to Tampa for Vinny and the #2. Kings fans are yelling "hell no!" and my response is "are you crazy"? Hedman and Vinny for Doughty and the #5? Kings fans are on crack if they don't think that's the deal of the.... last 2 years."

No way. That's all I have to say. Sheesh, leave our D alone.
