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

[Felix Unger]

I feel bad for JF Berube who should be getting his chance with the Kings right now. I don't feel bad for the Kings, though.

 

[gilfaizon]

Pavelec or Condon

 

[sebsisles]

The Greiss is right!

 

[Dying Alive]

Murray is practicing again, which means Condon will probably be available sooner rather than later whether via a trade or waivers.

I could be wrong but i don't think you can trade someone you picked up on waviers in the same hockey year

NYI would be crazy to let him go for only a 5th. Wild got Dubnyk for a third, but he had an unsuccessful track record( though he quietly had a decent half season in ARI). Griess should be worth a second, at least.

 

[bogostick]

We might need pavy yet our young boys haven't been looking good lol. I wonder if that's why chevy hasn't sent him over at half price yet

 

[Kranix]

No Kiprusoff up your sleeve this time, Darryl

Deff would cost more than a 5th, just saying that with our G depth, he can be available

 

[Willy Styles]

why dont they just hold open goalie tryouts like florida did? Im sure there are a lot more goalies in LA than Florida

 

[airbus220]

Budaj won all the games he started till now.
Who else is unbeaten?

 

[tony d]

Got to think they'll kick the tires on getting Pavelec there.

 

[KingPuckChoo]

Budaj won all the games he started till now.

Price & BOODIE both with 2 wins each

 

[Yog S'loth]

Can we talk about the devastation caused to the Kings' AHL team?

Saturday night they started a rec league goalie who was only there because he's the goalie coach's kid.

The backup?

The 46-year-old goalie coach.

This is where we'll probably see a deal happen. They can either trade for a player or sign a free agent to play in Ontario until the injury situation in LA is resolved.

 

[Choralone]

I think we'll just roll with Budaj for the time being. We've always been Team Slovakia West anyways - let's go all in.

 

[kingsholygrail]

I think it will be a minor deal to get someone in Ontario, myself.

 

[Blue Goose]

Makes sense.

Either way, I think the Kings should be talking to Florida - if they want someone to play at both the NHL and AHL level, trade for Reto Berra. If they want someone for the AHL level only, trade for Mike McKenna. I'm sure the Kings could get either one by only sending an AHL player in return.

 

[Aestivalis]

Price & BOODIE both with 2 wins each

I think Scott Darling also has 2 wins in 2 starts.

 

[Reaper45]

At this point just get an AHL'er for Ontario.

 

[Roman Yoshi]

So what's Bryz doing these days?

 

[Phrazer]

Whats Fukufuji up to nowadays?

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Whats Fukufuji up to nowadays?

He's actually still playing at 34.

Ha! Cool to see. My one memory of his play was an awesome sliding toe save. He and a lot of other young Kings goaltenders were baptized by fire that year. Well, more like baptized by molten lava.

Players claimed on waivers can be traded so long as one of the following happens:

a) No other team put in a waiver claim at the time. (likely with Condon), or
b) The claiming team offers to "trade" the player to all the other teams that submitted claims, for the $ waiver claim price, and those teams decline.
