Kings Trade For Dustin Penner

by RudyKelly on Feb 28, 2011 11:56 AM PST

The Kings traded for Dustin Penner, sending off Colten Teubert, a 1st round pick and some conditional pick (unknown exactly the terms right now). Penner will likely fill (and then some!) the 1st line left wing role that was a glaring hole for much of the season. Penner is a smart player that is good off the puck and great digging in the corners. I kind of hate him but he will fit in well next to Kopitar. I don't know much about his defensive game and he's kind of known for being lazy, but the fact that he'll be in a playoff hunt and then a contract year next season means he'll likely be trying. If things go right, Penner can replace Smyth as the resident "Guy who stands in front of the net and who I also hate."

Colten Teubert? What about him? Fuck that guy, I always hated him.

Quick & dirty lines:

Penner-Kopitar-Williams

Smyth-Stoll-Brown

Poni-Handzus-Simmonds

Clifford-Lewis-Richardson

Dear God, no

Because for that to happen, Quick, Bernier, Martin Jones, Jeff Zatkoff and at least 50 other NHL and AHL goalies will have had to die suddenly, probably in horrible ways.

The best part is that now he’ll be hanging out with Brown & Kopi instead of Getzlaf & Perry.

Penner: So what do you guys want to do tonight? Want to go knock some trash cans over, maybe destroy a few mailboxes?
Kopi: No way, man! We’re going to get really crazy tonight!
Brown: Yeah, we’re going to stay up all night and play Risk!
Kopi: I call Greenland!
Brown: No fair, you always get Greenland!!!
Penner: …The fuck…?

the whole key to that game is staying out as much fighting as you can..while collecting a card every round…then overrunning the 2 weak armies that where pummeing each other..or wait for the overzelaous asshole to stretch his army thin…..defeat him…and take his cards

As a Kings fan in Edmonton, I can say I have hated Penner for a while but he has grown on me in the past two years. He looks lazy, but that’s just because he’s a big man, he’s not actually that slow and is often in good defensive position and his 5×5 chances against numbers speak to that

by DontDoughtDrew on Feb 28, 2011 7:45 PM PST reply actions

As a Kings fan in Edmonton. I really appreciate that my favorite Oiler is going to my favorite NHL team. He adds to the beardliness.

by DoughlarBear on Mar 1, 2011 2:48 PM PST up reply actions

That’s why Penner was growing a beard during the regular season, he knew he wouldn’t get a chance once it was over.
