Rumor: Kings inquire about Pavelec

[backhandsauce]

Fayne for Pav?

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Because there's no sense in further depleting the Kings prospect pool for a guy who's marginally better than Zatkoff. And then there's the whole, "What do we do with the three headed goalie monster when Quick comes back?".

I think if it's Greiss, you're getting someone who's more than marginally better than Zatkoff but that was more of a question about why talk to the Jets about Pavelec who is worse than any of the three you could pick from the Islanders.

 

[NewtJorden]

Wouldnt the Kings be worst with Pavelec??

Yes, but we can dream

Never going to happen.

Is Kempe seen highly by Kings fan? Just wondering

So you want to sell off the Kings's future, for a goalie we do not intend to resign, and in a year that we are not even a contender?

He is. He almost made the team this year.

top prospect should have made the team imo Played better then some vets

 

[KingPuckChoo]

He is. He almost made the team this year.

which says a lot considering the elite talent

 

[CorgisPer60]

Honestly, I'd take a 3rd for Pavy @50% retained. Perfect stopgap for when Quick returns.

Dwight King
Nic Dowd

 

[irunthepeg]

Muzzin + Greene for Trouba + Pavelec @ 50% + Chiarot

If only, if only...

and what would the Jets want for a Trouba/Pavelec combo?

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Ondrej Pavelec was a proven NHL starter for 5 seasons with Atlanta/Winnipeg organizations, and could still be a good enough stop gap until Quick returns.

Only in the physical sense. Not in the effective sense.

 

[CorgisPer60]

Not interested in devaluing Trouba by putting Pavelec in a package with him. I would deal them separately.

No discount on Trouba by packaging him with Pavs

Yes.. he was proven. Proven to be awful.

Come on don't stretch the truth. Most of the minutes Scuds got last year were bottom pair minutes with a few games up the lineup by desperate teams.

He was being facetious, responding to an equally facetious post by a Kings fan that was similarly stretching McNabb's credentials to a "top pairing" defenseman. It was all in good fun....

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

wow...

didn't know the Kings could be that desparate

I know you're half-joking, but the rumor checks out in a way--Dean Lombardi loves targeting undervalued reclamation projects, or guys with 'flaws.' Carter (to a much lesser degree imo), Gaborik, LeCavalier/Schenn, etc. The only real exception I can think of is Sekera. Even Looch to a degree was a bit of a question like that with his previous year's production dip (but he didn't get a discount there that's for sure).

Maybe 'undervalued' isn't the right word but you know what I mean.

Pavelec should never be the answer to your goalie problems. Got to think the Kings will go somewhere else to solve their goalie issue.

No thanks. If we bring anyone in it needs to be low cost help for this year and then gone. And no not gone as a UFA costing our best forward prospect.
