LOS ANGELES—Doesn’t the modern-day sports star go to Disneyland after something significant unfolds, not before?
Boston Bruins power forward Milan Lucic returned to his summer home in Canada from the park visit and found out one day later that his job skills were being transferred to Southern California.
On Friday, the Kings got a bit bigger and more physical, acquiring the 6-foot-4, 235-pound left wing in a trade with the Bruins. Boston received the Kings’ top draft choice (No. 13 overall), backup goalie Martin Jones and minor league defenseman Colin Miller.
The trade came several hours before the NHL’s entry draft in Sunrise, Fla.
