Canuck You Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I'm sure Quick will come around once Johnny boy tells him how great the place is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilduce39 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Kind of a ruthless move by Blake but Korpisalo’s save % is a huge upgrade on what the Kings were getting. I’m also not sure what kind of time the Kings have, as Kopitar, Doughty and even Danault aren’t spring chickens. It makes sense. and we were never really seriously considering moving Demko. I don’t believe it. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id rather a package of Pickering, Blomqvist, and a 1st from Pittsburgh. I think that fits our needs better. Depends on what else they're willing to give up. Like I said, take Byfield and Clarke off the table and see what else they've got. We could be better off getting multiple pieces in return. I'd be open to something around Petersen, Durzi+ for example. If they think Clarke can make the jump next season maybe there's something there. Petersen would give us a stopgap, Durzi would give us a top 4D. Say we get a 2nd too, I'm just spitballing here. Losing Durzi would suck for them but it's gotta hurt somewhere. Clarke projects as their Doughty replacement, Byfield is likely their best chance at getting someone to eventually fill that Kopitar void. Would they give up a top 4D+ for a younger starting tender with term attached? Maybe. I'm not convinced we're looking to move Demko though so it's really neither here nor there.

LA can have a D like him because as a whole they are extremely strong defensively but Vancouver probably can't yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) Quick's last game he was pulled after allowing 3 goals on 7 shots vs NYR. Goaltending has been brutal this season for LA. Sportlogiq had them receiving 40 saves less than expected at the 49 game mark - ie allowing over 0.8 goals more per game than average goaltending would have allowed per their model. That was by far the worst mark in the league. Calgary and Edmonton were 2nd and 3rd last at that point of the season with 14 goals allowed more than expected - ie a 26 goal differential to LA. LA is one of the strongest defensive teams and would likely be further along with just average goaltending. Last week they were ranked 29th in quality starts where they only received expected goaltending or better in less than 30% of their games per Sportlogiq.

Never know in playoffs I still think korpisalo has the tools and LA defensive metrics are great they done need a hero goalie and if they add gavirkov too Korpisalo will be a very good goalie for LA.. Great trade for LA Kings they will finish 1st now.. 1. LA 2. Oilers. 3.Vegas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmaster Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Kings addressed their biggest weakness. Good trade for them. Add in another defender and a salary dump, not a bad price to pay for just a first. Not sure why the Blue Jackets gave up on their star goalie, they look like they are rebuilding to the studs. JG has got to be wondering about his decision. Kings - A Blue Jackets - B- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t believe it. They have plenty of time as a team, just not for some of the older guys. Team average age is 26.8 (not far off us at 26.0). Most of the core stuck through the rebuild phase and actually helped accelerate the process. Thanks to Quick, they returned to the playoffs last year way ahead of schedule. They have no reason to go all in this year and are content filling in their core as the young players improve and the last of that cup core gets phased out. With Brown and Quick gone, it's only Doughty and Kopitar left - who by the way, are still very effective players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brutal contact for the blue jackets. The reality is the team became worse when he got there haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at goalie value in trades when have they ever received What some of you are suggesting the canucks should get? And that's not even counting the horrific numbers he has this year.

jyu Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 9 hours ago, McBackup said: Will Quick get a statue a la Dustin Brown? Brown, Gretzky, Robitaille. One of these is not like the other. If they got a statue for Quick or Doughty or Kopitar, it would be a different story. All three of these guys have strong potential to enter the hall of fame. Brown on the other hand... It's like, if we won the cup in 2011, they erect a statue for Burrows. Like WTF??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyotasfan Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I wonder if Quick will retire after this season, the only thing quick about him is how fast he gets pulled after letting in 3 + goals in the first period these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
