Kings Acquire Penner From Oilers

[LeafsFan4Life]

The Edmonton Oilers have traded forward Dustin Penner to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for defeceman Colten Teubert, a first-round pick in 2011 and a conditional second-round pick.

Penner, 28, is having a good year with the Oilers, netting 21 goals and 18 assists through 62 games, and will add some scoring punch to his new squad.

The native of Winkler, Manitoba came to the Oilers in 2007-08 after accepting an offer sheet to leave the Anaheim Ducks as a restricted free agent. The deal became final when Edmonton declined to match the offer.

Penner has one year left on the five-year, $21.25 million contract that he signed with the Oilers. He will earn $4.25 million in 2011-12 before becoming an unrestricted free agent.

Good trade for both teams IMO...lets see if this is what LA needs

I like this for Edmonton. Big fan of Teubert, and the two picks will help them.

I actually think that Edmonton could have got a bit more substance but not a bad trade by any means. If Penner can play with his skill all the time, he'll be pretty potent in LA
