We’re going to have to come up with shorthand for this guy, because Ponikarovsky really fills a headline…
Anyway, I’ve talked to both Dean Lombardi and Terry Murray about this signing within the last hour, and I’ll have the extensive quotes when I have time to transcribe them, but here are some highlights…
– The Kings liked Ponikarovsky last year and went after him before he was traded to Pittsburgh.
– The belief is that Ponikarovsky has the potential to fill that third-line left-wing role, alongside Handzus and Simmonds. Lombardi described him as being a stronger skater than Frolov, but perhaps less skilled with the puck.
– Lombardi said he talked to Alexander Frolov shortly after the (now-contested) Kovalchuk signing with New Jersey, but that it seemed clear that Frolov was interested in moving on.
– Speaking of moving on, Lombardi said he’s not keen on waiting to see how the Kovalchuk drama plays out, and that he is mulling one trade option in his mind. For obvious reasons, he didn’t disclose the player.
I’ll try to get these quotes up fairly soon. I also have a number for Ponikarovsky, so I’ll try to get to that at some point also.
I swear to GOD Dean if it’s Kaberle…..
He’ll have to give up too much to get a one year guy, if he even wants to come here. I don’t like it, it better not be him.

@pr0cess,
WOW! Nice response to Jeff! A bit much, don’t you think?
We are all dealing with this from a hindsight perspective, now that the Fro and Poni moves are done.
If true that Fro wanted to move on, it is all a moot point. But, had the Kings been a bit more evenhanded in regard to Fro over the last year-plus, maybe he would not have wanted to move on. Had the Kings not waited a month since the FA period started to speak with Fro, he may have wanted to stay. Had TM not made a special doghouse just for Fro, he may have been more inclined to remain with the Kings.
I also think Jeff’s point is (and mine as well), for the same contract, we could have kept a guy who played well for the Kings for the past seven seasons. I understand that we are divided on this site, some put a high value on Fro and others less so, but those of us who put a pretty high value on Fro are sorry to see him leave, and in all honesty, this move seems rather curious. For my money, I would take Fro any day, every day, all day over Poni. It is not even close. I have to believe that is the point Jeff was making.
For all the good seasons Fro had here in LA, I believe some of us feel a bit let down with the way the organization seemed to kick him to the curb.
I don’t doubt when it was all said and done, Fro probably did want to leave. But he was surely treated pretty poorly at the end. Almost like trying to run the guy out of town, and then making it look like he wanted out.

@Jeff,
The only problem with Frolov is that he didn’t change mouth guards (as I suggested). Had he done so he would still be a team favorite.
Every time he missed a shot, blew a pass or took a stupid penalty his mouth guard made it look like he was smiling.
Seeing this how could you help but question the guy?
But, yes, a nothing move to fill a hole.

I believe that the system that both DL and TM insist on imposing on each player is what hurts when true snipers consider coming to LA. Frolov, while definitely having motivation issues, IMO tried his best to be a defensive forward in the system but truly hated the role. I am not sure that things would have been any different had the Kings signed Kovi. I think the conflict between system and sniper would have been jusat as bad….only much more expensive. Shouldn’t there be some give in the system so a scorer can do what he is paid to do?

Just wondering how most people would feel about staying on a team after being put on the shelf until someone else made his decision. I’d tell them to take a hike. Frolov should have been signed to an extension long before the free agent saga began. So, no, DL didn’t do what he could until it was too late and had insulted the player. This is a poor sustitute to fill the hole that was created by not re-signing the better player.

I feel very split. On one hand I’ve felt like something will shake out down the road. Could be a year from now…. who knows. But the more I think (probably not a good idea to do too much of that at the moment) it does make me wonder from where and How we are gonna fill holes up front on this team.
Everyone seems to know what we need yet unless they have a dormant Luc Robataille in the system that we don’t know about I have no idea where it’s gonna come from.
Given that we didn’t draft for that this year, if we draft for a pure goal scorer next year by the time he would develop enough to play at the nhl level we’re talking like min 3-4 years from now.
That doesn’t sound the least bit enticing. I’m saying that because regardless of the upcoming UFA’s we’ve all seen A) how much they want (the bank) and B) that they seem to be able to get the bank elsewhere.
Hopefully this will shift, but right at the moment I wouldn’t want to be in DL’s shoes. Yes we have Smyth, but where will he be in 3-4 years? Unless we have a glut of exceptional D’men and can trade one…..

Upfront we lack skills, no doubt about it, and nothing in the pipes either. I think that maybe Schenn or Loktionov will someday be good 2nd line centers, but thats all.
I wonder, has this signing something to do with the tradeoffer he is “mulling” over? If so, could it be that Smyth is a part of that deal, or maybe Richardson? I think Poni suits best in the third line, between Zuz and Simmonds.
Well, we just have to wait and see. In Dean we trust?

Ask me that in a year please my dear MacSwede. I don’t know what to add to what you’ve said, except as far as a potential trade, I highly doubt DL trading Smyth since A) he loves Smyth and Smyth in a strange way is probably more valuable to us because of the way he slots w Kopi then he might be to another team.
Richardson….. that would surprise me equally. First he Didn’t end up taking them to arbitration (points for Richie for not getting on DL’s bad side) and what sort of skill level are we gonna get back for him, even him paired w a prospect.
We aren’t talking Schenn and Richie or Bernier and Richie. Know what I mean?
Sorry I just don’t have any good answers at the moment.

This seemed like the right year. We are a team on the up and up. Supposedly we were even the favorites for this years FA top dog. But, alas we struck out. Management says its because we have to worry about re-signing our RA crop next year i.e. DD, JJ and Simmer.
Now, we are in a position where we need to give up some prospects to fill our holes so that we do not take a step back. I am frustrated because the timing was right and our GM failed to deliver. We can’t possibly expect to resign all of our kids. Some of them will want to leave for various reasons. IMO we need to give up something and take a shot at an FA some time or we will be stuck as a perennial playoff team much like the sharks or the preds…..

We didn’t strike out. If you mean not offering 16 years at 105 million dollars, then yeah, I guess you could say we struck out. Personally I would call it avoiding an unexplainable moment of sheer madness. So I prefer that.
There is more frustration in the feeling that we’re running in place than that we didn’t get IK. Personally I have not one single regret that we didn’t get IK and won’t ever unless we play NJ in the Cup finals and he scores the GW vs the Kings in one of the games. Otherwise, I’m fine w it.

Every FA we come across will ask for the bank. It’s DL’s job to reason with them and sell our team to them. At some point he’s going to have to sacrifice the cap space to sign a few kids for outside help. We have to risk it a certain point to win

Frolov wanted out and they got a quick fix replacement that is suitable. The kings still need a first line LW imo though, and or a second line center that is dangerous offensively on a nightly basis. Is Vanek available or is this just people hoping?

Unbelievable. I hit refresh and read that the Kings sign someone and I DON’T have an orgasm. Honestly, Ponikarovski? Reminds me of the time we let a LW walk by the name of Luc Robitaille and then signed Randy Robitaille thinking LA fans were so ignorant we wouldn’t know the difference.

Could you let us in on which number Poni will be wearing? I hope it is not #23, Brown should get to keep his number, unless it is meaningless to him.
Hope you are having a great vacation. I’m guessing you will be back by tomorrow.
