Them starting him last night and their shipping out Quick make me wonder. 

 

I wasn't expecting Demko to be starting games so soon. 

Me either.  It'd have to be a significant package to make me ok with demko in the Pacific.  

 

They also just traded their first round pick

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. 

 

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. 

What if they have a trade package for us for demo including korpisalo helge grans a second round pick +
 

:wacko:

Depends on what you consider significant I suppose, goaltenders haven't historically brought in hauls and I'm not expecting that to change regarding Demko

Not sure what everyone’s obsession with Grans is but it’s gonna take a massive overpayment to trade Demko within the division.

 

The pieces we’d want are not pieces the Kings would part with.

He's a good RD prospect, one I could see them moving is all

 

 If you're thinking Demko to LA take Byfield and Clarke off the table and decide what appeals to you, if they weren't available for Cychrun it's doubtful they'd be available for Demko

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 

 

 

 Shocking move.  Was really convinced they wouldn't do that to Quick. He was really brutal on their road trip though.  

 

They didn't have the cap space to take both Gavrikov 2.8M + Korpisalo 1.3M although CBJ could have retained.  

 

Wonder if it's simply to avoid having to carry 3 goalies.  That can often get complicated.  Would also have them forced to create more roster spots.

A Demko trade to LA starts with one of those pieces though. Don’t wanna part with them then no deal.

 

They want to get him at this time of year and take on their overpaid goalie in the minors then they need to pay up. Simple as that.

 

Theres lots of teams that would have interest in Demko if they did wanna trade him. We could do a lot better than Grans in a deal. Pittsburgh and Buffalo both have better pieces including top goalie prospects, which would be a must for me in any deal.
