 EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Los Angeles Kings general       manager Dean Lombardi is still steamed at the Oilers       after he traded Ryan Smyth to Edmonton       for a player who can't play.              Lombardi blasted the Oilers again Thursday about the clubs' dispute over       the fitness of Colin Fraser. The       disagreement is likely to be resolved by the NHL in the next few days,       with Lombardi planning to air his grievances to league general counsel       David Zimmerman.              Lombardi isn't trying to void the trade, and the Kings are likely to       waive Fraser anyway -- but they can't do it until he's healthy, and       Lombardi believes the Oilers misled him.              Lombardi thinks Edmonton general manager Steve Zdeno Chara Jersey Green Tambellini is attempting       to distract everybody from that misrepresentation by Authentic Cam Neely Jersey arguing Milan Lucic Jersey White about the       severity of Fraser's injury -- and it's not even the first time the       Oilers have tried to trade an injured player to Los Angeles.              "This is twice. There comes a point where you say, 'This is wrong,"'       said Lombardi, who recently said he "would have rather invested my money       in Premier Cam Neely Jersey Bernie Madoff than invest in Edmonton's word."              After Smyth demanded a trade back to the Oilers last month, Bruins David Krejci Authentic Jersey the Kings       agreed to deal the veteran center to Edmonton for forward Gilbert Brule       -- until they learned Brule hadn't been cleared to return from a       concussion. Los Angeles instead acquired Fraser on June 26.              But Fraser broke his foot last season, and the Kings believe the injury       will require surgery and four months of rehabilitation.              The Oilers insist Fraser is almost ready to play, saying the injury       could improve with two weeks of Bobby Orr Official Jersey rest. That's not the problem, Lombardi       says.              "There is no question that this player is not fit to play now, and       obviously was not fit to play Marc Savard Jersey Yellow when [Tambellini] said he would be fit to       Ray Bourque Jersey White play, which was the Wednesday after the trade," Lombardi said. "So this       is called the red herring method. What you do is say, 'OK, the doctors       disagree,' but they don't disagree on the fundamental premise, that this       Phil Esposito Official Jersey guy is not fit to play.              "When you want to get the jury off-track, throw out an ancillary issue       and turn it into a major issue, and they forget about the real issue.       You learn that in the first year of law school. Nice try."              Lombardi aired his frustrations after the Kings welcomed new forward       Simon Gagne to their training complex for the first time.              Gagne modeled his familiar No. 12 jersey after acquiring the number from       young Kings forward Andrei Loktionov. The veteran goal-scorer signed a       two-year deal with Los Angeles earlier Marc Savard Jersey White this month, rejoining former       Philadelphia teammates Mike Richards and Justin Williams and former       Flyers Bruins Milan Lucic Premier Jersey coaches Terry Murray and John Stevens.              Authentic Tim Thomas Jersey "I want to get back to the player I was two years ago, scoring a lot of       goals," said Gagne, a Cam Neely Jersey White seven-time 20-goal scorer who has struggled with       several injuries, including a serious concussion. "I think I was getting       there at the end of last year."              Gagne spent last season with Tampa Bay after 10 seasons with the Flyers,       reaching Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals before the Lightning       lost to the Premier Patrice Bergeron Jersey Stanley Cup champion Bruins David Krejci Premier Jersey Boston Bruins. Gagne reached the       Stanley Cup Finals with Philadelphia in 2009 while playing on a line       with Richards, also his partner on penalty-killing.              Gagne doesn't know Premier Phil Esposito Jersey whether David Krejci Official Jersey he'll be back on a Bruins Zdeno Chara Premier Jersey line with the playmaking       Richards, acquired in a major trade Authentic Patrice Bergeron Jersey last month. He's willing to play       wherever Murray and Stevens put him for his first Zdeno Chara Jersey Black season in the Western       Conference after spending his entire life back East.              "I'm excited to see a new conference," Gagne said. "Sure, you come into       the West once in a while, Tyler Seguin Official Jersey but you play one game against a team. You       don't have the same feeling you do when you're in the conference. I       believe Ray Bourque Jersey Black teams are a little bit better in the West, but if you look at       the Stanley Cup Premier Tim Thomas Jersey Finals, who knows? I'm excited to play a full season and       see it."              Gagne said moving after a decade in Philadelphia was difficult last       year, but his family is better prepared to head to the West Coast this       time. Gagne Cam Neely Jersey Black and his wife, Karine, spent much of the day looking at       houses for their 2-year-old son and 5-month-old daughter.              "We like the area a lot," Gagne said. "We're really excited about it. I       never had much time to take it in when we came Bruins Bobby Orr Authentic Jersey to L.A. before. I       Premier Tyler Seguin Jersey understand why [former Kings forward] Ian Laperriere and other guys like       it here so much."
