for prospects Strbak and Anshkov

At least I get to go on my vacation with a little bit of good new:spotting: :clap: :nutkick

Great job again, Dave Taylor. Straka is only 31 y/o, and should be a solid contributor for the Kings. He most likely won't reach the 95 pts he had in 2000 but playing with better linemates in LA he should be good for 40-50 pts. Plus the Kings didn't have to give up any of their top prospects in Frolov, Cammalleri, Gleason, Brown, Grebeshkov, Aulin, Tambellini, and PUSHKAROV:eek: (the crown jewel of the Kings). Straka has no baggage attached and should fit in right away. Strbak is junk, but Anshkov should be in the NHL in a couple of yrs, so Pitt didn't really give up Straka for nothing.

Damn I'm excited. Can't believe I gotta wait 2 weeks to watch him play in a Kings uni......unless he gets bitten by the King injury bug. The Staple Center must be built on some sort of ancient burial ground of something. CURSED, I TELL YOU, CURSED!!!!!!:D

I always enjoyed watching Marty play here, but to be honest he is not much without help so I hope the Kings find him some linemates right away. He was a team worst -14 here in Pittsburgh and I really think he was just tired of playing here, who could blame him.
Good Luck
