Los Angeles, Ca.- Contract talks between LA Kings Management and winger Tomas Surovy and his agent Jeff Traver became heated Friday morning. The Kings were attempting to lock Surovy into a 3 year deal however the talks went south when Surovy's agent demanded what is believed to be a large annual salary with signing bonus.
"His agent was asking for an unrealistic amount of money for a player of Surovy's skill and experience. We managed to hammer out a realistic deal with a larger signing bonus, however, the talks have left a bad taste in the mouth of King's management and myself." said LA Kings GM Nathan Kopsack. Kopsack is rumored to be offering Tomas Surovy around to the league as trade rumors swirl in the city of Angels. "I'm not going to confirm nor deny these rumors to be true. However, management is always fair in offering our players competitive compesation and a stable organization to play in. We are dedicated to our players and believe in building from within and that's all I have to say...except, if you're interested in the young slovakian winger (Surovy), contact my office." concluded Kopsack.
This is I.P. Freely for LA Kings hockey.
