Kings News: Kings Don't Qualify Ellerby, Kolomatis, or Legein
- Thread starter Telos
- Start date
Muzzin was a rookie that showed a lot of promise. Martinez deserves a shot at getting back into form. Ellerby was really an emergency situation for the D.

Reno Sucks!
So does Bernstein.

No qualifying offer to #LAKings Keaton Ellerby, a left defenseman just like.....Rob Scuderi.

I really think we are going to get to keep scuds. I think it spoke volumes when the kings didn't trade his rights at the draft.

It's just a gut feeling, but if the kings do get him, he might go for a 1 year deal to be able to cash in more next year when the cap goes up.
Just seems odd to not keep Ellerby if he does leave. We would have no ready SAH dmen if Greene, Mitchell or reiger get hurt, and this is also assuming Mitchell is good to go.
Jon rosen also has a excerpt from Lisa dilman saying DL mentioned in an email that they got a number back from scuds that was workable. Can't do the exact quote as im on my phone but it sounded positive.

And if Scuderi gets hurt next year...
They didn't have a ready SAH dman when Greene and Mitchell did get hurt. You can't cover every base at all times.

There is always the chance of them trying to resign ellerby for cheaper... just because they had to offer him a raise doesnt mean they should but also doesnt mean they need to cut him loose either. If a sah goes down there is always campbell or forbort that could fill in short term.
If we dont resign Scuds, how does a little Hal Gill sound? Could move Greene up to the second pairing and put Gill on the third pairing.
Yup Scuderi won't take anything lower imo and I think he's looking for his final contract. I just don't think we have enough to give him. Scuderi is a money type of player and considering his age and our cap. I don't see it.

This is if none of our RFAs we qualified file for arbitration. Only ones I could see maybe doing it are Muzzin or Lewis.

It's interesting that this would happen considering what LeBrun said about Scuds at the draft.
Not holding my breathe though.

The only one on that list of non-qualified players that surprises me is Kolomatis, only because he did rather well as an offensive defenseman in Manchester, but maybe the Kings want to give him a chance to look at outside opportunities and have plans to slide in some of their junior defensemen up to the Monarchs.
Anyone who paid any attention to Ellerby's play knew that there is no friggin' way they'd bother wasted time and money on trying to turn chicken poop into chicken salad. He is as dumb as a rock and has zero upside.

Probably the case. They've got to find time for Roach, Deslauriers, Forbort, Miller to get minutes, they've committed to Campbell for one more season, and then they have Ebert, Gravel, and MacDermid? (would Leslie be possible too?) coming up the following year.
