Coconuts Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Still leaves questions regarding the Kings starter imo Korpisalo is a pending UFA, could just be a stopgap for the remainder of the season This is just them moving Quick's cap out before the end of the season which seems a bit odd unless they play on addressing their goaltending further Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) Could also be they plan on flipping Korpisalo again in return for the tender they actually want, as part of a package of course Edited March 1, 2023 by Coconuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really didn’t need a move like this. Dunno, this seems like a move that'd have a follow up move They're essentially paying for Gavrikov while preemptively moving out Quick's cap hit, which they didn't really need to given he's a pending UFA They already had enough cap space for Gavrikov's current hit so it's doubtful it was about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just trade for Gavrikov? I don’t think you ship out a fan favourite all time great goalie at this time of the year for a minor upgrade in net.

rekker Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) I'm confused by the trade. Just not something I saw coming. Odd trade. Edited March 1, 2023 by rekker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 So many of these deadline deals are encompassing packaging two players for a sizeable deal. Wonder if that is becoming the trend moving forward at the deadline, you need two attractive assets to get full value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, doesn't make sense to piss off a franchise legend unless there's an actual reason you need his cap space. Ruthless of LA's management group, not that that's a bad thing. Could be something to that Demko to LA bit. 5 minutes ago, R3aL said: Copley getting it done lol but ya He is, aye. But I dunno, have a hard time seeing the running with him and Korpisalo. Korpisalo being a pending UFA just makes him look like a convenient stopgap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I might just be overrating Korpisalo, but I actually think he's kind of legit. He's got a .911 save percentage playing on the worst team in the league, currently. Comparatively speaking. Demko has a .884 save percentage. Copley has just a shade over .900 save percentage at .901. Korpisalo has been facing down roughly 33 shots a game. I dunno man, I think they may actually be interested in running with Copley and Korpisalo. He was once upon a time a highly touted goalie prospect. Maybe they believe in him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
