The Kings are pretty boned on defense, and the only other real option on defense just got signed by the Ottawa Senators. The Kings can still trade for Mathieu Schneider (for Lauri Tukonen, make it happen!) or someone from Toronto because they have their defender of the future in Jeff Fing-hahaha, sorry, couldn't quite get that one out with a straight face.

UFA forward Brendan Morrison reportedly is signing a one-year contract tomorrow with the Ducks. I haven't heard the salary figure [UPDATE: TSN says 1 year, $2.75 M; thanks Mike in OC!], so I won't get detailed into budget repercussions just yet.
