Back and forth Bruins trade Stumpel back to Kings for two draft picksPosted: Friday June 20, 2003 11:36 PMUpdated: Friday June 20, 2003 11:42 PM LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The Los Angeles Kings acquired center Jozef Stumpel and a draft pick from the Boston Bruins on Friday night for two draft choices. Stumpel had 51 points last season -- including 14 goals -- with Boston, the team that drafted him in 1991. The Bruins sent Stumpel and a seventh-round selection in this weekend's draft to the Kings for a fourth-round choice in this year's draft and a second-round pick next year. "Jozef Stumpel is a proven top-six forward who our coaches, players and fans are certainly familiar with," Kings general manager Dave Taylor said. "Stumpel, along with center Jason Allison, gives us a formidable 1-2 punch down the middle. Jozef has played some of his best hockey in a Kings uniform, and his puck-handling ability and overall skill will be a great addition to our hockey club next season." The NHL Draft will take place Saturday and Sunday in Nashville, Tenn. Stumpel was traded with Glen Murray by the Kings to the Bruins less than two years ago in the deal that sent Jason Allison to Los Angeles. The 30-year-old forward played with the Kings from 1997-2001. His best season in Los Angeles was the 1997-98 campaign when he had 21 goals and 58 assists in 77 games. Stumpel has 143 career goals and 368 assists in 694 NHL games. |
