Would make sense

 

[dracom]

I could understand it, but then we're left without a backup. Guess it's been discussed, but I don't see it happening.

 

[Exit Dose]

Can someone elaborate on who said this and what was specifically said?

 

[AcerComputer]

hmmm maybe the leafs do have a chance at that conditional draft pick!

 

[Trolfoli]

Ducks need cap space. Badly.

Kings don't have cap space so cap would need to be retained or cap taken back. This doesn't help the Ducks.

 

[Curufinwe]

Bernier at 50% for a 4th?

Makes sense for both teams . The Ducks get the cap space they need and the Kings know how to get the best out of Bernier

Edit : I guess the Kings don't have the cap space so my point is moot

Makes enough sense but cap

 

[mpp9]

Can't the Kings just put Quick on LTIR, and then they can figure out the cap situation in a few months when he's back?

 

[Curufinwe]

Kings will have plenty of cap room if they put Quick on LTIR.

It makes a lot of sense. I know Ducks fans said they needed a good backup since they were running with Gibson, but considering the cap crunch they are in, a backup with a four million cap hit is a pretty silly idea.

 

[KevinRedkey]

If the money doesn't work, I imagine LA can send back Purcell. He's a UFA next year and makes 1.600

Yeah! Then they can pay a team like CAR a first to take a cap dump because they got a $4M 3 month patch.

We would still need a backup coming back. I don't know what they would offer in that regard, but we have to get one back.

Budaj!

Bernier at 50% for a 4th?

Ducks salary situation you'd think it'd be 100% of his salary to do the Kings a favour and give them a "Starter"

 

[McDonald19]

I don't see it because Gibson is too injury/illness prone.

 

[Exit Dose]

How long is Zatkoff out for?

You can't retain more than 50%.

 

[KevinRedkey]

Fair but how else do you sign Lindholm? He is more important than a backup goalie (IMO).

 

[Exit Dose]

I don't see anything about this on Twitter. All I see is an article from Anaheim Calling speculating it as a possibility.

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

Budaj!

PETER!!!!!!

man i hope he can hang full time in the nhl.

 

[Ducksforcup]

I'd be surprised if the Ducks traded Bernier so soon after acquiring him. Besides, taking into account Gibson's history of injury woes...they need a capable backup and Bernier is certainly that.

How much does bernier at 50% and sub back up actually save anaheim nap space??? Maybe a little over $1M
