Bryzgalov?
The Ducks put him on waivers. I think he's worth a look. It's not like we are too padded at goal right now.

OK, here's the deal though: the way the waiver system in the NHL works, there are seven teams that have waiver priority before the Kings. From first through seventh, here are the teams that have a crack at Bryzgalov before the Kings would:
Washington
Buffalo
Edmonton
Phoenix
New Jersey
Atlanta
Pittsburgh
Florida would be on there too, except they made a waiver pick up of Garth Murray earlier this season, so now they're at the back of the priority list. Of those teams listed above, I think the Caps, Oilers, Coyotes, Thrashers and MAYBE Penguins have legitimate concerns with their current goalies. Plus Ilya's contract is only 900k this season, so that makes him all the more attractive as an option.
I'm hoping that Lombardi would make a play for Bryzgalov, but I'm not gonna hold my breath waiting for it to happen, either...

Sash,
All 3 of those goalies you mentioned are solid, for sure! However, I don't think any of those could be considered one of the top 5 goalies in The Game today:
1) Luongo - VAN
2) Broduer - NJ
3) Kipper - CGY
4) Osgood - DET
5) Backstrom - MIN
5a) Lunquvist - NYR
5b) DiPietro - NYI
Speaking of netminders, did anyone else notice Kings Uber-Prospect Jonathan Bernier threw a shutout against the home Czech team for Team Canada in today's World Juniors Championship? Apparently he, as well as other Kings prospect D Thomas Hickey, played an amazing game for Team Canada as they cruised to a 3-0 victory. If you do not have the NHL Center Ice TV package, and want to follow the games, you should be able to find live broadband streams at either www.tsn.ca or www.channelsurfing.net

I agree with teh goalies, and thanks for the update on Bernier and Hickey(omg imagine what high school was like for that guy, I bet he's tough).
Now if we could win a game. or stumble on the next Crosby with our draft pick...
