Not sure how I feel about this as a Kings fan. Although Richardson hasn't done much so maybe a little shake up will be good.  |

I think it's a 1 game thing for this reason. I think no matter how many games you play, if you play in a SC Finals game you get your name on the Cup (not 100% sure though). |

#8 Posted: 6/4/2012 2:43:34 PM And in comparison to the end of the reg season and rest of the playoffs the 4th line has been pretty quiet. Gagne has a lot of experience against the Devils and Brodeur having played in Philly and Tampa and scored his first goal as a King against the Devils in October 2011. May just be looking for more production from that line and possibly the PP. |

Ya there is definately a requirement because it happened to Brian Bickell of the Hawks a couple of years ago. He is the cousin of someone I work with. I did find out that if a player doesn't meet the proper requirements the management has the last say whether the player gets his name on the cup. Bickell never met either requirement but Quenville and Bowman thought he helped the team enough that he deserved his name on it. |

Both games so far were just one shot, give away or deflection away from going the other way. This move could create a negative of one of these as much as it could create a positive. I don't know if it's a necessary gamble. We shall see how it plays out.
If it's just to get the name on the cup then why not wait until you have won 3 games? Maybe Richardson was not doing a lot but was he doing anything negative or making any mistakes/giveaways? Sometimes just not making any mistakes is a big positive itself this time of year.

His timing will be off which will also open the possibility of errant passes and in general throw off the timing of his linemates.

Agreed. Although Gagne has been on the ice and travelling with the team since end of round 1/start of round 2. So I'm not too worried about his conditioning.
There are rumors that Richardson may be hurt/too banged up though. Who knows.  |

Will never know how much of an impact this had on the Kings chemistry but I didn't like the move when they made it and don't like it now.
You don't go screwing with a lineup that is on a 14-2 run in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Bonehead move by Sutter. He better hopes Gagne scores some goals to help put this thing away or people will be talking about this move down the road.
