Dean Lombardi has been busy the last few days.

After re-signing Jordan Nolan and Kyle Clifford before they could become restricted free agents at the end of the year, Lombardi turned his attention to improving the roster from outside the organization.

He just needed to find the right fit at the right cost.

That’d be awesome, but no way Lombardi snags the top defenseman on the market!

Sekera to LA — Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) February 25, 2015

LA is giving up a first rounder and a prospect — Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) February 25, 2015

Roland McKeown is the LAK prospect going to CAR — Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) February 25, 2015

…welp!

But does Sekera have the skills to help the Kings to another Cup run?

*thumbs up*

So allow us to officially welcome Andrej Sekera to the Los Angeles Kings!

He’s already a Hollywood sellout!

(FYI, Andrej… no one in LA would eat that many carbs in one sitting. Gross.)

As the trade news hit Twitter, it was easy to see that fans from all over the league were divided on how to feel about the Kings latest acquisition.

FUCK! Not only is Sekera gone, he's gome to the Kings. #Flames — Tyler (@FortShox) February 25, 2015

Fact.

@bentleynathan1 Depends on Kane's status but yeah this stinks. — Fear The Fin (@fearthefin) February 25, 2015

Poor Sharks fans.

Sekera to the Kings. Motherfucker — Rob Z (@Rob_InTheSlot) February 25, 2015

…and Rangers fans.

The Kings just traded for Sekera and my hopes of the Sharks winning the cup are officially over. I hate Doug Wilson. — Jonathan V. (@CobraKidJon) February 25, 2015

Seriously, I will never not love Sharks fans.

The Kings got Sekera?! How in the fuck??….shit. — Andrew Iorio (@Cooksta77) February 25, 2015

Cheer up, Ducks fans, you still have Clayton Stoner!

Totally. Those two Stanley Cup Championships were each an overpayment.

Lombardi wouldn't trade Toffoli and lost out on Myers. Now grossly overpays for D-challenged Sekera — SabresBuzz (@SabresBuzz) February 25, 2015

LOL

“Sabres Buzz” is the sound the empty arena in Buffalo makes.

Lombardi approach: Sign Nolan Sign Clifford Everyone else: "lol look at this idiot" Trade for Sekera Everyone else: "fuck" — NotDeadRyanDunn (@NotDeadRyanDunn) February 25, 2015

Classic Deano.

@blakeprice1040 Kings getter bigger, while Canucks waiting to be play off punching bags again #Sekera — Bobby Pinn (@Bobby_Pinn) February 25, 2015

Way to string that conversation together.

@theroyalhalf Shows moments of brilliance and can definitely bring some offense. Is prone to occasional bone-headed passes. — ACGRES (@AC_Gres) February 25, 2015

The Kings got another Jake Muzzin! Hooray!

Kings are getting Sekera according to @friedgeHNIC UGH WHY BOB WHY??? #NHLDucks @DucksNPucks — Tim Bauer (@TinierTim) February 25, 2015

High price for Sekera. But Kings look like Kings again, and I'm not going to question Lombardi after questioning Gaborik deal last year. — Nick Cotsonika (@cotsonika) February 25, 2015

Fuck the Kings. Fuck Quick. Fuck Dustin Brown. Fuck Kopitar. Fuck Gaborik. Fuck Doughty. Fuck Darryl Sutter. Fuck Justin Williams. Fuck LA. — .. (@NYRoidzy) February 25, 2015

So we're all clear, the reigning Cup champs just got the top rental D on the market — Pat Leonard (@PLeonardNYDN) February 25, 2015

What a time to be alive.

Forget about Jon Quick, I’m starting to believe that Dean Lombardi is the most elite member of the LA Kings organization. — The Royal Half (@theroyalhalf) February 25, 2015



We’ll have plenty more about the trade coming in the next day or two.

Until then, let’s just hope the rest of the Western Conference panics and overpays for some second tier talent before Monday’s trade deadline!
