Penner doesn't offer the Kings any salary cap salvation, so most likely they'll want the option of trying to re-sign him at a discount. If they could get him at $2.5M, that would be a big help to their salary structure/depth.
I think Lombardi might just hold onto him and risk losing him for nothing if he decides to go for the money somewhere else.

During his time in edmonton he scored the 23rd most goals for wingers.
Right there with Hartnell, Backes, Doan.
Penner was majic with Gagner.
