If you blinked while reading Elliotte Friedman’s 30 Thoughts this morning, you might have missed it. If you didn’t blink, you saw that the Los Angeles Kings might just be moving forward with Jack Campbell behind Jonathan Quick.
Los Angeles appears ready to have Jack Campbell as Jonathan Quick’s backup.
I will confess to being a little surprised. It has been less than three months since the Kings missed the postseason, and the lack of an adequate backup certainly contributed. Can Campbell, who was acquired last year to be the fourth option in the organization, trace the same rags-to-relative-riches story as Peter Budaj?
