Dancing in the Reign: Kings acquire Fredrik Modin from Columbus

The trade deadline had passed, but minutes later the Kings announced another addition. Fredrik Modin has been traded to the Los Angeles Kings for a conditional 7th round pick. Modin, a left winger who has been in the league since 1996, brings more experience and leadership to this young roster. Modin will fill in at the the wing position on the 3rd and 4th lines, much like newly acquired Jeff Halpern. Modin, a 13-year veteran started his career with the Toronto Maple Leafs for three seasons, played with the Tampa Bay Lightning for six seasons, and most recently played for the Columbus Blue Jackets for four seasons. Through a career of 838 games, Modin has 222 goals and 225 goals to his name. Modin has only played in 24 games this season for Columbus, with 2 goals and 4 assists.
