Signs of very real trouble between one of the NHL's best and his team.

The TSN hockey insiders assembled on Tuesday to break down the latest behind the scenes news in the National Hockey League and insider Darren Dreger dropped a bombshell.

According to Dreger there are now serious problems between the Los Angeles Kings, and their star forward Anze Kopitar at least in terms of contract negotiations.

"Well now im told its far from done and as we can all appreciate when your dealing with a mammoth extension like this there are multiple elements to it, yes there are components of this extension that have been agreed to, but there are also a number of pieces that they haven't signed off on."

Earlier in the season there was some talk that Kopitar could find himself hitting free agency this summer, and when asked how far apart the two sides were Dreger made it clear that things right now are not good.

"I'm told now that it's almost at an impasse."

Obviously things can change, Kopitar's dazzling performance against the Red Wings on Monday is was a reminder of what kind of player the Kings are at risk of losing.
