jetsniper Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=218857&hubname= Looks like he lost his job to Bernier already, haha. Think anyone will bother to pick him up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House11 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I highly doubt anyone takes him and that contract. Either this is just a last ditch shake up attempt or they'll send him to Manchester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 This is like 3 years due. Sorry Cloutier, you've become this season's Jose Theodore. Too bad you'll stink versus AHLers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smon Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I always thought Lombardi was a smart GM - but he really made a stupid move with Cloutier. Acquiring him and then giving him a fat contract despite the fact he was run out of Vancouver and hadn't even played a game for LA yet. He's never really shown any high level goaltending talent in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 For some reason, I don't see the Kings taking a gamble on a veteran goalie to replace him (i.e.: Gerber, Esche, Cujo). I see them more taking a chance on a rookie or young player. I get a vibe that Lombardi might be interested in Yann Danis if Bernier and Labarbera stink it up. I still think he should of kept Garon around... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre the Great Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I remember the rumours that he was the driver in a local hit and run that killed a teenager. When those started up he got injured and then was traded or left the team can't remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're just going to give Bernier a try for at least the 9 game period before they have to send him back .. if he's awesome then he'll stay. if not then I guess Labarbera or Aubin will get a good look. Lombardi said that he's sending Cloutier down as a " rehab " assignment. Basically like when Roger Clemens came back he started in the minors to get his rhythm back. I guess he feels that since Cloutier hasn't played regularly in 3 years that the work in the AHL could be positive. Hopefully to get his confidence back and basics back. It could work.

RobRock Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 If that's the real reason, there's no need to put him on waivers, especially since the regular season hasn't started yet. If they want him to rehab with Manchester, all they have to do is ask him to go for ten days. If they put him on waivers, he either declined the request, or the Kings want to get rid of him.

But it's not technically a rehab assignment, as per the rules. As you say, he'd only be able to be down there on official rehab for a limited amount of time. If what CHF said is correct, they want him down there for a month or two, to get him some extended playing time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup and I'm sure that they could be trying to get someone to take him ... if he plays well in the AHL then maybe someone will take him at half the salary on the way up .. or maybe they'll keep him down there the rest of the season then buy him out .. who knows.
