Quoting: OldNYIfan
Los Angeles isn't paying one second, let alone two, for a rental goalie when we have more than $11 million in three goalies on the roster now.
Have you seen the numbers their goalies are putting up?
Quick - 3.50 GAA, 0.876 Sv%
Petersen - 3.75 GAA, 0.868 Sv%
Copley - 2.73 GAA, 0.902 Sv%
Their current best option (Copely) is a 31 year old career minor leaguer (this season is only the second that he's played more than 2 games in the NHL; never played more than 27 in a season in the NHL), and whose performance this year is, at best, slightly below average. He's never even had a really good season in the AHL (at least not one that he played the majority of his team's games).
If I'm the LA GM, I'm looking hard at other options in goal. Pretty much anything that avoids having to rely on Copely or the corpse of Jonathan Quick in the playoffs should be an option.
