Why Heatley to Kings Doesn’t Make Sense (but still might be good)
by Quisp • • 6 Comments
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 sake of argument, though, I’m going to pretend to agree with Matthew’s assertion that Heatley…

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 • • 0 Comments
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 $58MM. $59MM if Hickey makes the team. So we have to dump one big salary.…
From HockeyBuzz.com – Matthew Barry: Enough Draft Talk – It’s FREE AGENT Time!!!
by Quisp • • 0 Comments
With my unsolicited comments: I still say Travis Moen is a King July 1st – That would complete the Handzus/Simmonds line. Okay, that would be interesting. I also think Samuelsson comes over to play with Simmonds and Handzus – – Oh, wait. So, Moen would be … LW on the Stoll/Brown line? I think it…
Via Matthew Barry: Lombardi Doesn’t Know What Happened to Tom Preissing
by Quisp • • 2 Comments
As for Tom Preissing, I simply asked “what happened”? Lombardi took a long time to answer and simply stated, “I don’t know”. He explained that they knew Preissing’s numbers in Ottawa were inflated and he never considered him a top 4 but as a “bridge” player, he certainly worked. “In the first year he was pretty…
Via Matthew Barry: Dean Lombardi on Simmonds, Moller and Doughty
by Quisp • • 1 Comment
Matthew Barry at HockeyBuzz.com did an interview with Dean Lombardi that’s got so much good stuff in it, I’m carving it up into its tastiest bits. But with such a young nucleus, I asked if he worried about bringing up players too soon and could those added pressures have an effect. “Yeah! (laughs) This team…
From The Hockey News — A Scout’s Life: Combine influence
by Quisp • • 1 Comment
Last season, Drew Doughty and Zach Bogosian were in a heated battle to go No. 2 at the draft behind Steven Stamkos. Doughty, who was a Kings fan growing up and who always had posters of Wayne Gretzky on his wall, may have been a little heavy – and, arguably, sluggish – prior to the…
