The Kings will still have three good lines to roll, but they need to get a veteran defenseman to solidify their defensive corps.

Poni will most likely slot on the 3rd line with Zues and Simmer.TM does like to constantly shuffle his lines tho.Simmer will probably see more time on the top 2 lines(depending on injuries).

I still think $3 million for Poni is a bit of an overpayment for what he can bring to a team.

This signing seems to say an awful lot about what Kings management thinks about Frolov. For $3 million I’d probably rather have the skill Frolov brings; not that Ponikarovsky is dead weight, I just think he’s a step below Frolov. But I guess the Kings were looking at the bigger picture and were tired of the Frolov attitude. Depending who he plays with Ponikarovsky could put up some really surprising numbers this season. Not a terrible pickup for the Kings by any means.
