TheScore.com is reporting that the Anaheim Ducks have traded defenseman Chris Pronger to the Los Angeles Kings for defenseman Jack Johnson and the number five overall pick in this year's NHL entry draft.

Our View

This is huge news from the world of hockey on the day of the biggest game of the season. Pronger looks to be heading to LA, and the Ducks will get a solid young defenseman in Johnson and a chance to move into the top five of the draft. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.

Err... can he really be traded now doesnt he have to wait until July 1st?

if this is true, Anaheim is the winner by a landslide... it's not like L.A becomes a cup contender with just adding pronger

Id say that in the short term its a downgrade, but, in the long term, this is a great move for Anaheim to keep their back end young and deep.

Rich Hammond from The LA kings blog said he got a text from dean lombardi (gm of the kings) that said this is just a rumor and it's not true.

Rich Hammond:

I'm away for the day, but here's what I can tell you via iPhone. Dean Lombardi sent me a text message that simply said, "Rumors not true." That's about all I can tell you right now. I will update if I hear anything different.

^ this. pronger's not ancient, but he's no spring chicken, either. jj's up and coming, plus a pick. nice move for the ducks...i guess LA just wants to have a descent record NEXT season...though i'm not totally sure how much adding chrissy will improve their record.
