TFP and the Los Angeles Times reported this past week that the Kings were pursuing Florida Panthers goalie Roberto Luongo.
Now, according to the Times, the Kings are pressing hard to work out a "blockbuster" deal, a league source said.

The Times claims the Kings are offering goalie Mathieu Garon and the Panthers' choice of prospects currently playing in the American Hockey League.

If a deal is worked out, the Kings, who are currently $4 million under the cap, would almost immediately work on a long-term contract with Luongo.

Luongo, who turns 27 next month, is set to become a restricted free agent this summer.
Meanwhile, the Kings are also trying to acquire defenseman Brendan Witt from the Washington Capitals

I think Luongo might be a little over-rated. Garon has looked very solid in goal for LA this season at times, but I'm not sure if you'd want to have him going into the playoffs as your #1. If LA can get Luongo by giving FLR Garon & not a lot more, I'd go for it. Rumor also has Witt going to LA.
