Confirmed Trade: [TOR/LAK] Kyle Clifford (@ 50%), Jack Campbell for Trevor Moore, 2020 and cond. 2021 3rd round picks

[Kingspiracy]

He also got rocked by Brookbank after leaving himself wide open. It was impressive he stayed on his feet and kept throwing.

Yeah, that was the same season that Reaves got him. I just re watched the fight on hockeyfights, Fox says something like "he's gonna work on his defence" then pop.

Love the guy, hes a warrior

Yup! Already into the liquid medications preparing for tonight!!!

I started with a glass and a half of the New Zealand Chardonnay Village Kumeu River with the meal, and am now sipping an Irish Whisky (Jameson Caskmates Stout Edition).

Yes sir...that beautiful baby blue label.

 

[sxvnert]

I still think the leafs move kap/aj /Kerfoot+ for a dmen at some point,

100%. One of (Kap, Johnsson, Kerfoot) + young D (Dermott, Lili, Hollowell) + Ceci (cap dump) for RHD.

then make a move for Ritchie to replace which ever piece they lose.

Definitely not. Ritchie is complete garbage.

At 10% alcohol and 750ml, I hope that you're sharing it or have a vacuum pump to keep half for tomorrow.

We visit the Wife's family in Belgium once a year, i actually have a bunch shipped home. Also Duvall...Baptiste.. a bunch of different ones.

Hope Moore does well for LA. Campbell looking good so far and Clifford has good energy

The last time I went to Belgium was in 1980.

I really liked the Luxembourg Province (not to be confused with the Grand Duchy).

I drive to Luxembourg every time i am there. Great little cafe on the way at the foot of the mountains that brew their own beer.

Cant the best player change over time though? For example Johansen and Drouin were the best players at the time of their trades. A few years later and Nashville and Montreal lost those trades.

And nearly every trade the Rangers have made disproves this.

Gomez was the best player when we traded him to Montreal, Gaborik was the best player when we traded him to CBJ, Brassard was the best player when we traded him to Ottawa, Stepan was the best player when we traded him to Arizona, MSL was the best player when we traded for him, Nash, Grabner and Hayes were the best players when we traded them to Boston, NJ and Winnipeg.

It sounds like TOR won the deal.

Campbell was fantastic tonight. Team hangs him out to dry in the 3rd, and in the post game interview he says he owes the team an apology??

What a gem. And no son, the team owes you one.

That I have to admit. He's better than Demko right now, really.

I'll reiterate that Campbell (and Clifford) bring more than talent to a locker room. They are genuinely good people who hold themselves accountable and who teammates love.

Do you see Campbell as a potential starter in the long run?

To be honest, I wouldn't expect it. He's already 28, which is a late age to develop into a starter. Unfortunately, I think he spent many years getting caught in his own head, and it took the relationship/tutelage of Dusty Imoo (now the goalie coach for Kunlun Red Star in the KHL) to help bring him back into the proper mindset.

I just don't think he will develop much further to have the savvy to be a reliable starter.

He's just better as a backup than a starter. And that's not a knock on him. I would love to have him back on the Kings (I am a big fan of Quick, but was hoping the Kings would have dealt him instead).

I see. I hope he fares better than Sparks or Reimer did in the past. Also, if Quick weren't old, I think teams would be interested in him.
Who's Dusty?

I was watching UFC 247 he said that? he's wrong they owe him beer, ALL the beer.

They should buy him dinner as in every single person on that team should buy him dinner so 20+ dinners and that includes Keefe because a to many men penalty is on the coach he puts them out there.

I agree. I think there are some (understandable) strikes against Quick. Still, with him and Petersen, hopefully it will be stabilize the goaltending.

Dusty Imoo was the Kings goalie consultant up until this year (I believe?). He then took an opportunity to coach in the KHL. While Bill Ranford is the Kings goalie coach, Imoo was basically the consultant who helped develop the goalies in the pipeline. He was often considered a goalie whisperer, who had a major impact on many of the Kings goalies doing well and maintaining focus.

I can't find the specific articles, but he was the biggest influence on Campbell's revived career. When Campbell was an AHL all-star, he wore #70, which was the number Imoo wore when he played as goalie - he wanted to give him tribute and thanks.

He's already better than Sparks and as long as he doesn't blow a game 7 he will pass Reimer

I see. It's nice he has a goalie consultant to whom he can look up. When I was pretty young, Dan Cloutier, who is now the goaltending consultant of the Vancouver Canucks, was my idol, and I wore #39 playing in goal for my peewee team.

Do you see Campbell as a potential starter in the long run?

I really do. He’s very strong positionally and very calm in net. Can also handle the puck well from what I’ve seen.

I think the best he can get is 1B, which is why Toronto acquired him to play with Andersen.

Agreed...we know about their 3rd period issues lately, but last night's was pathetic.
