When Randy Jones joined the Los Angeles Kings on Oct. 29, the
deal raised few eyebrows. Now, the waiver-wire acquisition appears
to be one of the best "small" deals of the season.
The 28-year-old from Quispamsis, New Brunswick started this season
with the Adirondack Phantoms, the Philadelphia Flyers' AHL
affiliate. After being waived by the Flyers, Jones jumped into the
Kings lineup for Game 19 and joined the fray as LA began turning
heads with its play.
Familiarity gave the Kings the edge on the competition when Jones
was waived. Kings coach Terry Murray was an assistant with the
Flyers, Assistant GM Ron Hextall was director of pro scouting,
while GM Dean Lombardi was a pro scout in Philly before joining the
Kings in 2006.
