Huh!?

Kings made two moves.  They are equally good and bad.  First, the bad.  Kings signed JS Aubin to a one-year deal.  From the TSN story, "Aubin, 30, played in 20 games last season with the Toronto Maple Leafs and had a 3-5-2 record, a 3.34 goals-against-average and a .876 save percentage."  Is the idea to have someone in the locker room that can relate to Cloutier?  Or do they need to make Labarbera look that much better, by having him outplay two guys?  They said that teams would start copying the Ducks, but getting your own marble mouth is not the way to do it.  There was already one too many Jean-Sebastian goalies in the greater Los Angeles area, don't need more.  (I think one sign of the Apocalypse is supposedly three JS goales in SoCal.)  But, the Kings also signed Dave Lewis as assistant coach.  Good move.  There aren't many assistant coaches better than him.  Just don't expect him to take over for Crawford; as good as Lewis is an assistant coach, he's proven to be a bad/ineffective head coach.  I have no doubts that Lewis will speed the learning curve for all the kids on the Kings, he's a great teacher.
