With a sudden surplus in defenseman, and a much bigger need for a scoring left-winger, the Kings pulled the trigger on a trade with the Avalanche, sending defensemen Tom Preissing and Kyle Quincy, along with a fifth round draft pick in exchange for Ryan Smyth.
Smyth is a 33-year older who spend the bulk of his 12-year career with Edmonton. A contract dispute in 2007 resulted in him being traded to the Islanders. He signed with Colorado as a free agent after the 2006-2007 season.
Smyth should provide some much-needed scoring for the Kings.
