Kings GM Confident About Doughty Deal
Oct 14, 2014 11:21 PM
Kings general manager Dean Lombardi isn't worried about negotiations with young defenseman Drew Doughty on a new contract.
"This isn't a standoff like we've been seeing in Washington," Lombardi said jokingly. "I'm fairly confident that we'll be able to get this done."
Lombardi and Doughty's representatives have been in communication during the past few days in an effort to move the conversation toward a resolution.
"We've been talking," Lombardi said. "We’re trying to hammer it out, but I don't think I really have a handle on it yet."
