TSN.ca Staff 7/1/2006 8:02:29 PM Rob Blake is returning to where his career began. The 16-year veteran signed a two-year, $12 million deal with the Los Angeles Kings. Blake, 36, has spent the last four-plus seasons with Colorado, helping the team win its second Stanley Cup in 2001. In 81 games with the Avalanche last season, he had 14 goals and 51 assists.
LA will welcome him back with open arms. He was a solid player for them. 6 mil per seems fair if you take into consideration what other top D-men just signed for.
