Sure, go ahead Washington, take all the good goalies so that no one else can have any.
I think they'll regret not resigning Huet. But oh well, not my team.
You're a stud Rich.
You keep us more informed than TSN, NHL, or Sportsnet.Ca.
You're even quicker than they are.
Actually, Theodore signing in Washington means that Huet is still available. Could he make a return to L.A.? Could that be the other shoe to drop in the Visnovsky deal (making more cap room)?
I'm not holding my breath, but I can hold out hope. ;)
Raycroft signed with Colorado. Huet is still out there....
I wouldn't mind Huet in LA...He would be an upgrade big time..I'm sure the Kings can get a 3rd rd pick if they wanted to trade JLB..
I would keep an eye on Huet. If you look over the other NHL teams, everybody has an established #1 goalie except the Kings. His best chance to be a starter would be here.
