The Kings have gone beyond merely inquiring about Florida Panther goaltender Roberto Luongo and are pressing hard to work out a "blockbuster" deal, a league source said.
The package would include King goaltender Mathieu Garon and the Panthers' choice of prospects currently at minor league Manchester, the source said. The Panthers are said to be still unsure whether to move Luongo, considered an elite NHL goaltender.
Luongo is an unrestricted free agent after the season, but the Kings are expected to have the financial ability to sign him to a long-term deal. They are currently $4 million under the $39-million salary cap and Jeremy Roenick ($4.94 million) and Luc Robitaille ($1 million) are in the last year of their contracts
