Don't be a jabroni.
Starting one for Kings information and discussion. Should be interesting as we all find stuff and post it. Trades, FA, camp, whatever should be kept here Kings related.
David Rittich signed to a one way 1 year/$1 million deal. I think that is a steal for a backup goalie who has shown he can be a 1B or a starter for stretches at a time.
Go back to my comment last fall and I felt Rittich outplayed Copley to be the backup, but Kings management felt otherwise. Rittich got his shot when Copley blew out his ACL in practice in December, never looked back and kept the Kings afloat when Talbot was leaking goals all over the place in Dec and January. I feel he actually outplayed Talbot throughout the season in his overall body of work. He completely outplayed Talbot in G4 and G5 against the Oilers.
One less thing on the to do list, cheap contract and keeps a guy in house who by all accounts is a solid teammate and fits in well with the group.
So my question: what are the issues, identify them and prioritize them. Curious what everyone thinks.
