" I love it when a plan comes together "Yes! Got our mole in the Vegas organization now! Kiss that division lead goodbye.
Why would he want to?Dubas, you couldn't have matched that?
Please tell me what contender has the capacity to take on a full $5.8M in cap hit for a backup.Good flip, bad return. I know Quick has not been very good but they got a warm body and a 7th WHILE retaining salary. The salary retained is worth much more than a 7th. Feels like Jarmo is just doing LVK a favor here.
Intelligence on divisional rival LA, and any catastrophesWhy? He's awful
Hutch and a 7th? THAT is what he's worth?
That's a HUGE steal for Vvegas.
Quick was given away.
He's been disrespected A LOT recently I hope he has 1 more run.
Pretty much this. The Kings just never had anyone lined up for their main core. Losing Brown stung and our hitting went down but was manageable at wing, but when Quick fell with no one behind him that was LA's Achilles heel. The other shoe will drop when Kopitar and Doughty go if they don't have anyone that can step in for them...Respect for Quick was the only thing that kept him from being sent to the minors this year, even Petersen was playing better than he was. It was a perfect storm of crap goaltending.
Lol ya. Not saying quick would be good to have, just that it was obvious we wasn't happy to be traded to the Jackets.Well you only need one tank commander and Merzlikins is doing a stellar job himself.
Naw, think most with a brain cell will understand this one.
It's either retain and get a 7th or no trade for quick at all. There was gonna be no other offersGood flip, bad return.

Since November 28th, he has played 15 games and had a sv% below .890 in 13 of the 15. One of the 2 other games was where he only played about 1 period in relief and stopped all 7 total shots and he only had 1 other good game where he stopped 23 out of 24 in that time span.Hutch and a 7th? THAT is what he's worth?

His and ppetersons performance is why they have a bad goal differential. You realize the goalie letting in goals effects the differential right? What's their differential with copley?Yeah, LA's goal differential was +3 last year as well, but it doesn't change the fact that he will be better protected behind a significantly better goal differential than he has seen in quite some time.
To say he isn't still dangerous whatsoever is shortsighted. You're saying that he played better under a +3 versus a 0 differential and his numbers have gone down this year; therefore, he sucks now. I'm saying that even if he sucks more this year than he did last year, he is going to a +24 on a much more competitive team, and given who he is as a person, I wouldn't laugh him off or count him out until the games are won.
Of course and not good. It still remains that he will have better defensive support in Vegas than he did in LA. Sure, he has regressed and could have played better, but he was left out to dry far more nights than not.His and ppetersons performance is why they have a bad goal differential.

The numbers say otherwise. And Copley is playing behind the same defense.Of course and not good. It still remains that he will have better defensive support in Vegas than he did in LA. Sure, he has regressed and could have played better, but he was left out to dry far more nights than not.
Time will tell.I
The numbers say otherwise. And Copley is playing behind the same defense.
Lets look at the stats.
For the year.
High Danger Scoring Shots on goal getting to net.
Kings 494
Knights 449,
Goals allowed 107 by the Kings, and 79 by Vegas, (this more of a goalie performance metric)
The proportion of shots allowed vs goals given up are largely disproportional. Both teams give up similar high scoring chances. The probability of scoring is high, and yet Vegas goalies do a better job of stopping it. 56 in 29 vs 51 in 33. for the Kings. And if you remove the Quick games it drops like 4 goals more.
Medium scoring areas
Kings allowed 508 Vegas 513 Kings 61 allowed Vegas 56 better than the high but again disproportional,.
If we look at BC (before Copley)
Kings gave up 104 goals in 29 games.
Since Copley call up they gave up 106 in 33 games
Goals scored and given up since Copley call up if we compare Knights and Kings during that time.
Knights have a + 6 goal differential and Kings +8
The Kings before Copley were a minus 8, the Knights plus 18
Kings 16 points up, Knights 12 points down since that time. Just a comparison again how there is no difference between teams.
Since the Copley call up Kings have given up 5 or more goals 9 times. Quick was in Net for 6 of them.
If Quick plays, and I don't think he will play much, he is going to have to figure some things out, cuz there is little to no difference when you look at the defensive underlying numbers.
Part of his problem is his puck control and just giving up a lot of rebounds. It puts his team in a bad spot
The 1 solid game he had against the Islanders was where he stayed in the blue and he did not go way out an challenge. That is where he gets in trouble cuz, god bless him, he cannot move like he used to.
