lol what the... 4th liner?

Jeff Halpern Traded To Los Angeles Kings For Purcell + 3rd Round Pick
 

Announced on NHL Network.

He is a center right? Was traded in the Brad Richards deal I think..

Out of left field, as per usual.

He is very good in the faceoff circle and they just said he is a former captain and a big leadership figure.

I hope we gave up a pick for this guy, nothing else, please God

This is a good pickup IMO. As long as nothing really significant goes the other way.

Nice pick up as long as we did not give up very much. Good verteran guy.

Probably return the Manchesterites and permanently slot Halpern on the 4th line.

Purcell going the other way?

Good rental. Good on faceoffs, can hold the puck, play the PK etc

2009/10 -- 55GP 9 - 8 - 17.

Looks like he is gonna need to pick a new number.

He plays right wing as well I think.

Good guy for guys like Cliche and Moller to learn from.

Kopitar-Handzus-Stoll-Halpern down the middle is money in the playoffs.

Purcell or a 4th/5th/6th/7th round draft pick. I can't believe DL would unload anything of value for Halpern though he is a smart pickup IMO.

I'll guess it's a 5th round pick...

Cliche back to Manchester?

Purcell going the other way seems like an overpayment . I am thinking a 4th/5th rounder sounds about right. But i am speculating...

His highest goal total is 21, his highest assist total is 27, and his highest point total is 46.

Isn't our second best center already playing on the wing? I like the idea of having this type of player on the Kings but it sounds like a move just to make a move. I hope we didn't give up more than a 4th rounder.

Clune-Halpern-Moller on the 4th line wouldnt be bad.

Solid addition in my mind. Good player.

Watching Pierre stand so close, is creepy on TSN.

Making 2 million but is a UFA....

UFA at the end of the season.
