In other words he didn’t booked the trip because Mike Richards was sent down this week!

He concluded his report confirming that the Leafs and Kings had been talking about the fallen hero for a while now.
Now, as many have reported before, LA Kings and Leafs have talked over last month. But Nonis is also going to other games this weekend
