This story has no merit, but here it is. http://lifeinhockeywood.com/2008/07/27/how-about-the-kansas-city-kings-2.aspx
Kansas City will get a team. In 3 years max. However LA is not even the top team in the LA metro area. In order - Florida - Nashville - Atlanta - NYI - Anaheim - Phoenix or Expansion. But KC will be skating an NHL team soon. The AHL asked the NHL if it would be a good idea to move a current AHL team there and was told "yes but its gonna be 2 years for NHL hockey so don't lay down roots."
