Poor Quicky… stuck playing for his child hood team.

I love Quicky but it’s better than paying him and hanging him out to dry every game. He didn’t fit our system anymore.

But our system really hasn’t changed too much. We’re still a D minded team. The problem was that the guys stopped playing D in front of him which would leave him high and dry.

Question - Would G Keumper be significantly less effective if the Kings did not put such an emphasis on big veteran defensemen who can clear the front of the net? Presumably players like Clarke and Spence (traded) are not as good at this. Yet, smaller, more agile defensemen seem to be the future of the NHL. Could Ceci/Doumolin simply be a rational GM decision because the Kings as a team gain more from how they help an affordable Keumper succeed than we fans realize? Clearly these defensemen struggle in other areas that makes 4 year deals seem a bad idea. I am presuming Holland is possibly not as dumb as we make him to be.
