Kings prospects :: building a contender -- I think it’s pretty likely that Clifford, Muzzin and Bernier will make the team. I would be willing to say it’s certain that two of them will. Schenn I think is somewhere between possible and likely. Richardson will get his raise. Clune will get re-signed with a nominal raise. And that leaves about $9MM in cap space. Lombardi has hinted that prospects will get a shot at key defense slots. Which kind of suggests he’ll sign an O’Donnell type veteran and let Muzzin and company fight it out for the other spot. Which leaves room for a forward signing in the $5-6MM range (if you look at the numbers for the following season, it doesn’t make sense to eat up as much as $9MM this summer). But Lombardi could also look to trade for a top-six winger, promote Schenn to C2, and sign a UFA defenseman. Bottom line: one or two new faces, via trade or free agency. And Schenn, Clifford, Muzzin, Bernier, Hickey, Moller and Loktionov (and Westgarth, I guess) fighting it out for two forward spots and one or two D spots.
