Kings & Rangers Complete A Trade

The New York Rangers and Los Angeles Kings have completed a trade that sees the Rangers sending rugged forward Brendan Lemieux to the Kings in exchange for a 4th-round draft pick.

Lemieux is heading to the Kings where general manager Rob Blake is hoping he can turn into Kyle Clifford 2.0 for their hockey club.

Meanwhile, the Rangers have a ton of roster decisions in front of them at the moment as they try to add a prospect to their mix and a couple of their injured players are returning to action. 

As for Lemieux, he's scored two goals and five assists in 31 games this season for the Rangers, largely on their fourth-line. The 25-year-old is never shy to mix it up and will gladly stick up for his teammates any night. It is a touch worrisome considering he's still pretty young and he's been traded already three times. 

Let's hope for Lemieux's sake he can find a home in California with the Kings.
