May as well. All this sentimental stuff is ridiculous. Who cares if he is mad about being traded. He makes a lot of money and is underperforming. This is a business where people are making millions of dollars and there is that expectations that they play to that level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I feel so sorry for is Boone Jenner. Makes under $4 million a year. Good leader. And now the team around him is falling apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When your Captain of your hockey club is shaken by the trade of your long-time team-mate and goaltender, who is on his final year that's not a good sign. It might have been a good hockey trade. But that's going to cause morale problems on your team. It would have been different at the start of the season, and Quick was traded to a competitor. That's like dragging out the Bruce situation. The optics are really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These other players full well know it's a business and they make huge money to perform and he hasn't. He has been pitiful this year. I'm sure they would prefer a chance at winning.

mll Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 cut & paste (next 2 tweets): That says a lot about how good this team is, otherwise. Kings allow the fewest inner slot shots of any team and rank 3rd in expected goals against (reflection of team defence). With average goaltending, they would be first in the Pacific. So, they acquire Joonas Korpisalo. Here’s where he ranks this season amongst goalies with 20 or more games played… Save %: 16th Slot Save %: 5th Rebound Save %: 2nd Cycle Save %: 7th Rush Save %: 3rd Goals Saved Above Expected / 60: 9th 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Money Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 9 hours ago, DeNiro said: Yep. The Kings were playing great. They really didn’t need a move like this. Most stats - regular and advanced - indicated that the Kings were getting the worst goaltending in the league. Quick is no longer NHL-calibre, not even as a backup. He wasn’t going to be retained, this just expedited it a little. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Mind Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 LA was known for being too loyal to their players -- not anymore Who'd have thought at the start of the season that neither Quick or Petersen would be on the Kings main roster by deadline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't seem sufficient for Chychrun. So many teams have tried to bring in Chychrun but the price is apparently still sky high. Edmonton gave up more than that for Ekholm - they would have probably gone for the cheaper/younger Chychrun if the price hadn't been considerably higher.

Ended up taking a cap dump (I'd call that the 3rd) and giving up a very good goalie rental. Puts gavrikovs value in this trade to approximately a 2nd (with kopisalo bumping it to a 1st) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I wonder if this messes with Kings chemistry. This core has been together a long time. We could see the impact of Tanev leaving the Canucks went way beyond his play on the ice... the rest of the team seemed really down about it and the locker room started to have problems.

That 25% would cost us 2 million in cap for 7 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
