EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (CP) - The Los Angeles Kings acquired goaltender Milan Hnilicka from the Atlanta Thrashers on Monday in exchange for future considerations.

Hnilicka replaces french-born Cristobal Huet as the Kings' backup goalie. This move surprises me a bit, as one of the reasons that LA released Storr was because they felt Huet was ready to be a full-time NHL backup, I guess he isn't.

Also note that both Cechmanek and Hnlinka are Czech...

Maybe some companionship for Cechmanek and Modry (and Rosa and Zizka on the farm).

Maybe that's what he was missing in Philadelphia... a Czech mate

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Sorry, just needed to say that
