I'd go after Bernier...the devil you know. Anaheim needs to sign Lindholm.

I feel bad for Budaj. Wasn't the word that he was gonna get to be backup this year? Then they bring back Zatkoff, and now this...

Why would they want a goalie with a .907 career save %? rather just roll with Zatkoff/Budaj than have that waste of a roster space

Good news. Inquire about that Trouba guy while you're on the phone Dean.

Should stay away from Bernier. Ducks are having too much fun trying to figure out how to calculate their cap. Seriously, someone tell their GM there are sites like NHLnumbers, Generalfanager, and capfriendly out there. They could use some help. Anyways Ducks would have to eat half his salary, which probably wouldn't work for them, and the Kings wouldn't give up a whole lot. Maybe a 5th?

They brought in Zatkoff for one reason the expansion draft.
They had to have a goalie signed after next year to leave exposed.
And they couldn't send him to Ontario like they did Budaj for risk of losing him and then they wouldn't have a goalie they could expose at the draft.

is there that big of a difference between Zatkoff/Budaj and Pavelec? I don't see it.

edit: then again I was in the minority among Pens fans considering Zatkoff a true NHL back-up...

On paper I would say no.
But maybe Ranford, Kings goalie coach, has seen something he thinks he can work with if this rumor is true.
