No Holes In Kyle Quincey’s Game

from Chris Foster of the LA Times,

Quincey was placed on waivers, the first step for the Detroit Red Wings to send him to the minor leagues. The Kings immediately snagged him Oct. 13 and then stuck him into the lineup, all the while looking for holes in his game.

“Any time you get a player off waiver wire, you spend the first week or so looking for areas in his game that said, ‘Yeah I understand what the other team was doing in wanting to send him down and get some seasoning,’ ” Murray said. “The biggest surprise is we haven’t found that after a couple weeks.”

Quincey has played 10 games for the Kings. He already has one goal, five assists, is plus-five and averaging 23 minutes of ice time while being paired with Matt Greene.

Quincey is a solid player. Murray shouldn’t be surprised—the Wings organization was stuffed with talent at the back. Everyone knows Quincey on waivers wasn’t a desired move, it was a move made necessary by the cap. Pre-cap Holland would’ve traded him for a 3rd round pick or packaged him at the deadline for someone.
