Matthew Barry just posted Why Heatley to LA Makes Sense. I’m of two minds. One of my minds could talk myself into pretty much anything. The other has a low tolerance for locker-room poison (e.g. Cammalleri, Blake, Avery). For the…

Note to Self: predictions for 09/10
by Quisp •
If the Kings manage 245 goals for and 230 goals against, they will make the playoffs. Last year: 207/234. So basically, play the system and add 38 more goals. How hard is that? Wait…how hard is that? In the entire…
From The Globe and Mail: a little Lombardi quote that means nothing in the scheme of things
by Quisp •
“The thing is too, clearly left wing was our biggest hole. We still have holes in the middle, but we just could not – Hexy and I, as much as you’re tempted and you’re frustrated and you get hammered in…
I give up. How many Juraj Mikuses are there? (And just how excellent is his missile?)
by Quisp •
It appears to me to be one guy who was drafted by Montreal, remained unsigned, went back into the draft, was drafted by Toronto, possibly went unsigned again, and possibly now has been invited to the Kings rookie camp, and…
From Forum answers VII – Inside the Kings: Linking to my own comment so I can remember where I made it when I turn out to be totally wrong; feel free to ignore

[the question put to the peanut gallery is: if the cap is supposed to come down hard next year, won't the league do something to stop all these teams from having to dump salary to get under the cap, like…
Utterly Irrational Trade Thought Involving Other People’s Stars
by Quisp •
I was just looking at San Jose’s numbers. They have a cap hit of $55.4 with seven players left to sign, to get to 23. That’s simply not doable, even if they populate the rest of their team entirely with…
The Poetry of the HF Boards

I didn’t get to look at the HF Boards on the topic of the Smyth trade until it was all wrapped up with a bow on it. Here are the first several pages of comments, with minimal editing to reduce…
HockeyBuzz.com – Matthew Barry – KINGS FANS NEED TO CALM THE HELL DOWN
by Quisp •
Several teams have left themselves ripe for raiding: How does Chicago pay for Kane and Towes and Keith who are RFA’s next year, not to mention Versteeg and Seabrook? Who does Calgary dump? 40 million for just 8 players? The…
New Post, in which, instead of earning money, I decide to crunch cap figures related to the preposterous Sedin twins to L.A. UFA rumor
by Quisp •
Here’s why I don’t think the swedish twins in socal rumor makes any sense, especially not Deano sense. Math. The twins want $12MM/year. The Kings, after re-signing Johnson and Purcell, then adding $12MM for the Sedins, would be at at least…
From Matthew Barry: Say What? Phaneuf to the Kings???
by Quisp •
I was talking about the draft to a person with huge ties to the Kings and we started talking about the up-coming free agency period. He/She said “What would you think about the Phaneuf kid playing for the Kings?” Of…
