Waived: [LAK] Kings place G Cal Petersen on waivers (UPD: Cleared)

[Aashir Mallik]

He had league average stats in 2020-21. .911 and 2.89 is solid. Not 5 mil solid, but an ok 1B

Did he just forget how to play hockey?

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

$5,000,000 x 3 yrs, nobody is touching that.

 

[seafoam]

Semen Varlamov to LA

What????????

No chance in hell that happens. He’ll be re-sign to a must more modest cap hit to continue to have a really really solid goaltending tandem.

Do you even know Lou Lamoriello? His entire philosophy is to build from the net out…

 

[Rob Brown]

I know he hasn't been good but I didn't expect this.

 

[Doctor No]

Jonathan Quick's wife...



EDITED TO ADD: Yes, I'm a f***ing dipshit, and this is not Jonathan Quick's actual wife. I've apologized in the thread three times already. If you'd like a personal apology at this point, please reach out via private message.

To LA: Jack Campbell +picks to account for the longer term and bigger AAV

To EDM: Cal Petersen

Both teams moving on from struggling goalie and hope for the best with change of scenery?

 

[Wallet Inspector]

I'm thinking Buffalo picks him up.

 

[Connor McConnor]

Well done Blake!

Lmao this guy thinks EDM is the team that adds.

i think it's kinda the NHL equivalent of the yips

nothing he does is confident, he always seems a step behind to me

kings cancelled practice and media availability too now, might be some smoke

 

[credulous]

probably they are hoping some ahl time let's him get some low pressure ice time in and find his game?

 

[Ace]

No one is picking up a bad 5 million dollar goalie with two more years in front of him.

 

[Jannik Hansen]

Stinker of a contract. Funny to see the immediate buyer's remorse.

 

[Brodeur]

Doubt he gets claimed, only a few teams have the cap space to do it and they probably don't have motivation. Could see him getting a stint in the AHL to work things out. Or maybe he's the type to respond to being waived.

I'm reminded of Anaheim waiving Adam Henrique a couple years ago when he got off to a slow start (4 points in 16 games to start 2020-21). He cleared then produced at his normal rates to finish the season (17 points in 29 games) and has been decent since (54 points in 80 games).

 

[Chainshot]

Nah. That's throwing money away on what looks like a terrible contract for a goalie who has forgotten how to play goal.

 

[YP44]

I'm thinking Buffalo picks him up.

no team touches him IMO

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Dude is somehow 5-3-2 despite an .868 sv%..

 

[The Nuge]

I was confused by the contract when it was signed, and it’s definitely not aged well. It sticks out like a sore thumb considering how good most of their contracts are otherwise

 

[donghabs98]

Im more shocked he has a 5M cap hit. His agent deserves props for that.

Campbell for Petersen, who says no?

He put those numbers up because of the team; Quick strongly outplayed him even last year despite similar numbers.

This season, yeah, he's basically completely forgotten how to play hockey. It's the closest thing to the yips that I've ever seen from a Kings goalie.

 

[Breakers]

$4 million bonus this summer


LOLOL wow that is bad.

 

[BringTheReign]

It was a weird situation where Cal had most of the leverage. He was being blocked by Campbell initially, and his contract expiry status was UFA so he could have just gone to the market. His numbers (analytically and box stat-wise) were great on some bad Kings teams, but it was less than ~70 games total if I remember. It was bad any way you slice it, but it wasn't like he got $5M/season as a pending RFA with no leverage.

 

[nbwingsfan]

I’d place him on waivers too after that performance
