LOS ANGELES - The Kings are bringing back defenseman Rob Blake for a second stint, agreeing to terms on a two-year contract with the unrestricted free agent Saturday.
“Rob Blake is a special player and more importantly a special person,” general manager Dean Lombardi said. “He belongs in a Kings uniform.”
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Blake, 36, became the highest scoring defenseman in Kings history during a 12-season stint that ended with his trade to Colorado in 2001.
Last season, he had 14 goals, 37 points and 94 penalty minutes in 81 regular-season games for the Avalanche. In nine playoff games, he had three goals and one assist.
Blake helped the Avalanche win the Stanley Cup in 2001, and made three All-Star appearances with them.
With the Kings, Blake was a four-time All-Star who helped the team to the 1993 Stanley Cup finals, and won the Norris Trophy as the NHL’s top defenseman in 1998. He was the team’s captain from 1996-2001 and one of its most popular players.
The Kings drafted Blake in 1988. He maintained an offseason home in Manhattan Beach, even after being traded with Steven Reinprecht for Adam Deadmarsh, Aaron Miller, Jared Aulin and a first-round draft pick.

Now if the Kings can just get a forward who will camp in front of the net.. and a goal tender who'll stop the crucial shots, they're back to the playoffs.

Who are these kings and why do they have some guy named blake?????

Nice....Hopefully he will lead the team again. He is one awesome player.
