I agree 100%, but I just don't think it's a good idea to give a goalie the C.

Oh, I love Quick for all the reasons that you've stated. It's just so rare that a goalie is ever a captain. Personally, I wouldn't know who to vote as our new captain, but I do want someone who's not afraid to show some emotions on and off the ice.

Or we could not even have letters. Talk about a gut punch.
It would send one hell of a message.

If DL doesn't think this team has it in it to win the cup, does he buy a rental or start pawning off our guys?

I don't think we need to trade Brown and Richards to shore up what is needed.
Girardi-PK help, not terrible on offense, frees up Drew. If he was actually dealt, they'd want a dman back. You go with Muzzin or Greene, prospect, pick.
Goc-Shouldn't take much more than a future 2nd at most. Goc is a better, cheaper Stoll and we could even resign him for a year or two to make sure Vey/Shore is ready for an expanded role
Moulson/Cammy-Vanek isn't happening. These two guys should be around the same value, and Cammy would have to come at 50%-60% cap hit. One of Vey/Shore/Pearson+ would be the price.
Trade Clifford for a pick for cap reasons and he's expendable(assuming it was Muzzin and not Greene who was dealt)

Absolutely, I just don't want Quick turning into Luongo after he got the C in Vancouver.

Quick shouldn't be a captain. He's not a media type. You don't want him skating over to the refs all the time etc.

I have to wonder just how much replacing Hextall with Blake has changed the identity of this team? We don't hit anymore. We don't get in anyone's face. No passion, no emotion.
It also wouldn't surprise me one bit if Brown went on IR after the olympics. The guy just isn't right.

This doesn't feel like a slump, because even in a slump, you compete and show a lot of emotion. The kings in general have just looked lackluster and just not competing the way they should. There's something deeper there imo.

He'd be my choice except, I don't even know if he'll be a king next year.

Agree with KK11, wouldn't want the captainacy pressure on Quick. Don't want the luongo problem to happen to quick
Nope. It was like that last season as well. We've never been a team that gets in anyones face.
So Blake is responsible for their best start to the season?
Something happened on that road trip with the Kings and they never recovered from it.

You know what they say...the players take on the personality of their coach.
Sutter is grasping at straws, he has exhausted all options of getting the team out of the slump other than trying to ride it out and weather the storm. It's all Quick's fault that we didn't win 1-0, as usual.

There’s a second round? Who knew?

Against the rules to have a goalie as captain.
Copied from elsewhere
Prior to the 1948–49 season, the NHL made a change to the rules, prohibiting goalies from being captains or alternate captains. This was in response to complaints from opponents of the Montreal Canadiens, who complained that Durnan left his crease to argue with the referee at strategic points during games, resulting in unscheduled timeouts. This rule is sometimes referred to as the "Durnan Rule".[31]
Although the Canucks appointed Roberto Luongo as its team captain for the 2008–09 and 2009–10 seasons, since he could not be his team's official on-ice captain, Willie Mitchell acted as the official on-ice captain, serving as liaison to the officials, and Henrik Sedin and Mattias Ohlund performed ceremonial aspects of the position such as pre-game faceoffs.[32]

Yup. If he were younger and signed for a few years, done.
But it's a useless point, because DB isn't getting traded.

Grasping at straws, talking out of his ass...haven't we heard enough of his bs already?
