Speculation: Zatkoff hurt, Kings in desperate need of a live body at goalie

[Trolfoli]

You can't trade a player you picked up on waivers till July 1

Great news!!!! How long till Murray's back?

 

[boredmale]

Really? I've never heard that before.

I would put that at about 98% sure, although I forgot to add you can put a guy on waivers first and if he passes then you can trade him.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Miller to LA get er done

 

[Romang67]

Pavelec is a live body.

 

[Remember2004]

What are you talking about? This is really helping out our draft position! Just think how sick Nolan Patrick will look in a Kings uniform!

Or in a Flames one at this rate...

Is Patrik Bartozak still a Kings player, loan to Vitkovice 1.2.2016

 

[Jumptheshark]

You can't trade a player you picked up on waivers till July 1(unless you put that player on waivers first)

Since when? I thought the rewrore that rule a few years ago?

No he Voynov'ed his career.

 

[seafoam]

Please take Berube back.

 

[Trolfoli]

Please take Berube back.

Feel free to waive him.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Jimmy Howard come on down.

Yeah, he was arrested for domestic abuse, suspended, then the Kings loaned him to a team in the Czech Republic to run out the rest of his contract.

Keep in mind with the Kings, were they to acquire a goalie, they have very little cap-space (per Cap Friendly, $1.5 million) so they can't take on a big contract (A la Pavelec or Miller) without significant salary going back the other way.

Sounds like they will go with Budaj/Campbell, at least for the immediate future.

Once a team claims a player from waivers, it may not trade that player unless it first offers him to any other teams who made waiver claims for him. If the claiming team places the player on waivers in the same season and his original team claims him, the team may send the player to the AHL without placing him on waivers again unless he meets the criteria for waiver expiration below.

I am guessing this means the Penguins could trade Condon to LA, but they have to offer him to any team who put a claim on him or Montreal first?

That's sort of the rule.

If you claim a player off of waivers, you cannot trade him that season without first putting him back on waivers for any other team that put a claim in originally. If he clears that time, then you can trade him. If his original team claims him back, they can send him down to the AHL immediately.

 

[Reaper45]

Budaj is capable enough. Just ride him and Canpbell to the promised land of Nolan Patrick.

That exert saying nothing about offering him back to Montreal before trading him, it refers to offering him back to the Habs before waiving him which isn't what we're dealing with, and when Montreal waived him Pittsburgh were last in the waiver priority order so thus no other teams claimed him

Thus based on that they are free to trade him

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

If Dean goes after a stop gap option in net, it's not going to be a goalie with term or making a significant amount of dollars.

He has to be frugal and look at a guy like Reto Berra. Someone who won't cost an arm and a leg, and an expiring (and affordable) contract.

actually they weren't last on the waiver list. It went by last seasons standings, not by how they did in the playoffs. They were near the bottom though for sure.

Fair enough, yeah that slipped my mind. So Washington, Dallas, and St. Louis. I doubt either of the 3 put a claim him, Dallas would be the only team that needs a goalie and they need a top starter not a backup.

 

[Chaos2k7]

Florida gets to dump Reto Berra, SO last night in the AHL!

 

[lanky]

Anaheim would probably let go of Bernier pretty easily to free up cap space. Even if it meant helping a cross-town rival.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

So in one year, LA loses Jones to trade, Berube to waivers, Bartosak to stupidity, and now Quick and Zatkoff to injury, lol, leaving us with Campbell, Budaj, and Imoo (and jack Flinn) beyond that. McCollum who was at camp with us signed with Calgary someone said, so he's not even an option either...man DL must be running his head into the wall. That, or he's just realizing his pact with the devil for the 2014 Cup has come back full circle.

That'd speed along the rebuild.

Sorry, I've been waiting to say that to someone for years.

If LAK is so cheap, Kevin Poulin is still unsigned. I'm sure he would sign for league minimum.

 

[Scorvat]

It's Miller time!!!
Miller at 40% retained for a 2nd
