Rumours are flying in Hollywood that the teams brain trust has been working through the holidays and are targetting the January 3rd holiday end as the timeframe in which they want to have dealt ALL pending UFA's.
Team consultant Bryce Shuck was quoted as saying "We've been in continual talks with numerous organizations. By the time the break is over, I don't think you will see many, if any potential UFA's left on the roster."
If the reports are true, you can expect Tomas Holmstrom, Pierre Turgeon, Bryan Smolinskki, Keith Carney, Glen Wesley, Ken Klee, Derek Armstrong and Eric Daze to likely all have new homes in the BRHL2. The Kings play has improved lately, and the team is not opposed to taking talent back. But the face of this team is likely to be revamped when games pick up again.
You PM'd me in regards to an LA UFA, I responded, and I never heard back from you
