Description

Obviously this upgrades the second pair and goaltending, but why not just give Quick the option to retire? Really in poor taste after the fan fare of Brown’s number being retired.

If they get either to stay at a good rate I agree, the Kings didn’t necessarily have to go all in this season, so if this results in no playoffs / first round exit, I’m wondering if this is good asset management by the Kings brass.

Agreed. The only way Blake can make up for it is if he still pulls of Chychrun like a pimp. We still have the assets

Terrible. And imo korpi isn’t an upgrade despite quick not playing well.

It’s like the maf situation but instead being there number one goaltender for over a decade

I'm at a loss for words. If the deal involved our 2023 first, I will consider this not merely a PR nightmare but also a HUGE hockey mistake. I'll wait to see the official announcement in a little while before commenting further.

I forget . . . does Rob Blake have a statue outside the arena?
