07/04/2009 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Los Angeles Kings boosted their offense on Friday, acquiring All-Star forward Ryan Smyth from the Colorado Avalanche in a three-player deal.

Smyth, 33, tied for the Avalanche lead in points last season with 59, posting 26 goals and 33 assists. Last season marked the ninth 20-goal season he has recorded in his 14-year career.

"Ryan is the type of player who fits with our team," said Kings general manager Dean Lombardi. "He fills an important need, as he is a competitive, gritty scoring left winger, and he fits with the overall identity we continue to build here."

In his career, including stints with the Avs, Isles and Oilers, Smyth has 310 career goals and 350 career assists in 920 regular season games. He also has 25 goals and 52 points in 81 career postseason games.

Heading to Colorado are defensemen Kyle Quincey, Tom Preissing and a 2010 fifth-round selection. The 23-year-old Quincey led all LA defenseman last season with 38 points in 72 games, while Preissing, 30, had seven points in 22 games last season with the Kings.

"We are pleased to be adding two quality NHL defenseman," said Avs general manager Greg Sherman. "Kyle and Tom are both versatile players who can contribute at both ends. They will add defensive depth to our lineup."

For his career, Preissing has 131 points in 322 games with San Jose, Ottawa and LA. In parts of four seasons with Detroit and LA, Quincey has 39 career points in 85 games.
