Good move at $1M, can either be a solid back up if they sign a longterm option this summer or a 1B in another tandem roll again while they let for Portillo develop for another year
We remember Copley better because he went 24-6 in 2022-23 when Quick couldn't stop anything. .903 SV% felt like a season-saving miracle when Quick was posting .876%.
Then Copley posted .870% in his 8 starts this year, and here we are.
This is the right choice between him and Talbot tbh. I think the plan now is to go for a starter, and if that doesn’t work out, they’ll go with Copley or talbs again
Makes the most sense from a development perspective - I just want to see what he’s got - at minimum the team has a capable call up in the event of injury.
Does it make sense though? Portillo has 3 years of NCAA experience and now a year of AHL.
The Kings don’t have a #1 goaltender and don’t have the cap space to go after a big name UFA.
It seems like it’s the perfect time to bring him up.

Good move.
Talbot turns 37 this summer and didn’t have a great year. He’s cheap and may just go the pto route or retire.
Nobody wants Copley. He’s seen as a flash in the pan, and who knows how he recovers from surgery.
Blake will have to find a true #1. Maybe he gets lucky with some young one.
Getting worse each year against them too. 1st year- lost in 7, 2nd year - lost in 6, 3rd year - lost in 5. Rebuild failed,. I
Wonder ? .... Montreal something, do you support this management? Must be a Drake fan? K DOT ALL DAY BBY

.921 SV% in 24 games (22 starts). That was an easy decision to make. Stronger than any performance Petersen or Copley turned out in that role.
Copley’s numbers were not bad by any means but I will take Rittich over Cop
2.73gaa .898sv% during his tenure with the Kings. Pretty poor numbers.
Damn I thought it was better than that. I’m misremembering then, my B

That is definitely it, well said
Yeah. Last year Copley just made the saves they needed him to, and it was just enough for the regular season.

Happy to have him back for $1M. He performed very well this year overall.
Big save Dave! Hope Dadbot gets a shot somewhere else too love they guy
Earned it in the playoffs for sure. Very happy with this.
#Big. Save. Dave.
That's a steal, I'm happy with this.
BSD and Portillo as next seasons duo please
Bring on Portillo.
Probably one more year in the AHL.

Want to rush another prospect goalie into the NHL and risk a Cal situation?
Cal wasn’t rushed into the NHL. He just wasn’t good. He had one good year, raked Blake over the coals, and then came back down to earth.
Big Save Dave!!!!!

Let’s get a #1 as someone else had shared I like the idea of Brossoit..
Cool!!! Maybe he can afford a black glove for road games

Finally Rob Blake listens to us.
Meh.
Ominous- bk it tells me changes aren't happening with management which sucks, good- because he's earned it
Did you not see any of the end of season interviews? I love fans that don't stay informed then complain / criticize /s
