NOTES

The Kings were among three teams to respond favorably to an offer of center Alexandre Daigle by Philadelphia General Manager Bobby Clarke, but so far they have made no concrete proposal for the underachieving Flyer.

Actually, Edmonton is the only team that has aggressively gone after Daigle, who is being paid $1.9 million on the last year of a five-year contract and has returned only three goals and five points for Philadelphia’s investment.

He spent the summer in Los Angeles and, apparently, has designs on a movie career, which is why his agent is pitching Daigle to the Kings. The question is what they would have to give up to get him--reportedly Steve Duchesne, and denied by Dave Taylor, the team’s vice president and general manager--and what they would have to pay him.

And if they would want him in the first place.

Daigle was Ottawa’s first draft choice ever, and the first selection in the 1992 entry draft, but has had only one season of any consequence--his 26 goals and 25 assists in 1996-97--and was traded to the Flyers last season.
