So basically, Kings president John Thomas likely participated in a fact-finding mission in San Jose as the team was at its most vulnerable, hemorrhaging money and selling off veterans amid the worst season in team history. Amick goes on to say he believe that considering nothing has moved forward in S.J. or anywhere, Gavin Maloof's assertion that there will be no relocation for 2010-11 was honest.

And while the reasons for the team's attempt to keep the S.J. visit quiet are obvious, boos to Thomas for sneaking around the media when presented with questions. No doubt a February revelation that the team had been talking to San Jose would have been painful, but now the Kings face these questions again heading into a new season, making the owners look like liars for the Sacramento fans. Not the best strategy there, boss.
