It’d be classic Kings to pick up someone like Clifford who’s cooked

It would be great if we didn't need to get posts and updates every time a bad player is waived to the AHL or released from a PTO.
Well unfortunately we have some chick on here who’s obsessed with him so we will probably be getting updates for the rest of his life. I get obsessing over some guy who looks like Kempe… but Clifford… oh man.

At least it isn’t the random flyers fans who came to this board and became Kings “fans” strictly because they found Richards attractive

Also, Thomson waived already by Anaheim, one of those situations where a former high pick is waived and a team with a good waiver priority wants to take a look, Anaheim took a look and he's gone. Pretty damning about his long-term outlook.

And a lot of us were not crazy on JQ 10 year deal (well deserved).

That deal for Hellebuyck is going to look really bad in 3-4 years.
That’s the thing with goalies. Everything can change in a year. That contract is horrendous. I hated Quicks contract for that reason alone. 10 years for a goalie who’s strongest skill is athleticism. Absolutely moronic logically speaking.

The answer will be simple LTIR. I’d love it if the league were to close those loop holes, these teams would be fraked.

I thought those guys wanted out of Winnipeg? The deals make sense, 8 years is a lot for a goalie but if you can get 5 years with Helleybuck playing at an elite level and then hope he is a serviceable backup for the remainder, its worth it.

They are one of those teams where you wouldnt be shocked if they made the playoffs but you also wouldnt be shocked if they finished last in the league.

I'll be at work when waiver claims are announced but Kyle Clifford is an LAK TODAY.
