Kings Resign two RFA's, and talk of UFA plans

Mike McMahon

GM, Los Angeles Kings

--Los Angeles, CA --

It is being reported that the Los Angeles Kings have resigned two key restricted free agents. Dan Blackburn and Jamie Lundmark, both up and coming stars for the organization, have resigned with the club today, both mult-year deals, the financial terms were not disclosed.

We contacted GM Mike McMahon, and he had this to say about the signings:
"Jamie and Dan are two very good prospects for our team. They are both young, and have shown tremendous upside. Both are OTHL players at this point in their careers, and that says something considering that they are both very young. We are excited and are looking forward to their years to come with the Kings organization"

When asked about the status of Mike Ribeiro's contract, McMahon said:
"I have no comment at this time, we are working with Mike to try to get a deal done. he has expressed some interest in playing elsewhere, and that is a possibility we are looking at as well if its something that both the team and the player want to do. For now, we are concentrating on resigned Mike, and we will worry about other things in the future".

When asked about what UFA's the team may be looking into over the summer, McMahon said:
"First we have restricted free agents, and some draft picks to look at (laughs). We have a team looking at the market, and we will be ready to make the signings we need to make"
