I have to imagine there is at least 1 NHL team that could really use Scrivens right now besides the Kings. Goaltending is pretty bad for some teams, Scrivens is having a great year and he's a UFA.

We already have an unorthodox flopper in Berra, and I'd prefer Jones
Maybe something around Cammy?

For Jones?! Deal. Because JF Berube will be the 2nd best goalie for the Kings in due time and Scrivens can flop around in that backup role until he's ready.

Calgary doesn't seem like a good fit. They are already taking flyers on two guys (Berra and Ramo), no need to take a third in a UFA to be Scrivens or six games Jones.
Calgary will ride it out this year with their current tandem and make a decision in the off-season or they will go big and get a more permanent solution (Reimer perhaps, since Burke's in charge sort of?).
And I doubt DL makes it easy to trade with a conference rival anyways.
Scrivens/Jones is more likely to go to a team needing another option/possible co-number one in net. If Buffalo ever trades Miller, they'd be a good option.

Zero chance DL brings in Cammy.
I've watched Jones since his hitmen days, he's also put up pretty good Ahl numbers and now in thr nhl he is putting up good numbers (small sample size), but overall I think he would be safer gamble for Calgary, he is also much younger than Ramo and Berra. Though Gillies might be just as good as him, he's doing fantastic news college but I wouldn't mind gambling on Jones if the price was right.

I would say there is no chance that the Kings trade Jones right now. Unless someone is willing to highly overpay. He will get a good second contract and when that one is over we will have to make a choice but should then be able to get some value for him provided he has continued to play well.
This is why you don't sign Quick to a ten year deal when you have a good goalie in the system. Jones will be Bernier II - not allowed to succeed, not allowed to even compete, devalued, and eventually traded away for a bag of magic beans.
Not very smart.

What? Guy wins a cup and carries the team to the conference finals having a guy in the minors that had never even played an NHL game before and it was not smart to lock him up? Nonsense.

Things are going to get really fun around here when Jones has a bad game or two.
*cracks mod fingers*
Don't think it's fair to bang on Quick at all while he's injured. For all we know he comes back and plays Vezina-caliber tendy for the rest of the year and playoffs. After all, he got injured trying to clean up the team's garbage play.

Yeah....no.
Quick was injured because he didn't have his legs stretched out enough and wasn't kept loose. The Kings were very aggressive against the Sabres and when Quick had to make a save on a redirected shot, he pulled his groin/hamstring. It doesn't have anything to do with his teammates, fact is the Kings outshot the Sabres 45-17 that night, hardly garbage play.

Things will get more interesting if Jones continues to play well but gets sent down as Quick is activated and has a few bad games.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Baby!

I'm so glad to hear this. I figured that would be the case but everyone is saying he will not be rushed back.
"He looks fantastic," Ranford said. "You know, he's getting stronger every day. We just got to make sure that he's 100%. It makes no sense for him to come back for one game and miss 10. I think the message down the pipeline is to make sure when he's ready to go, he's ready for the long haul.
