Mike Richter was his idol

Is he good enough to be a good backup? I liked his style of play but didn't like his team.

That mf better win a cup with us to make up for 2014

Would rather not keep rolling the dice on backups with old age pension claims, but Halak was fine; so I'll wait to see how he looks when games start.

 

[NickyFotiu]

Still has a couple of shutouts a year. Not sure where he is now physically. Interesting possibility.

 

[Crease]

Always liked Quick. Trained with him in our teens before he went on to bigger and better things. You can tell he was heavily influenced by Richter.

 

[Machinehead]

Cool

 

[Raspewtin]

f***ing gross

 

[Crease]

Worth noting his last start as a King he got chased out of the net by the Rangers at MSG.

Would rather have Halak.

900 k sure

 

[Trxjw]

Certainly better options out there. Imagine this comes down largely to Quick being willing to take a very cheap contract to play for his favorite team growing up.

Who knows? Benny has done more with less.

Halak is better

 

[RGY]

Better be under $1 million

 

[Kocur26]

He was terrible last year - this is laziness .

If we’re talking about atonements, you can visit the NIL thread I started and get it running.

Better be for absolute minimum amount possible. Watched him hand full of games last year. When he was bad he was pretty bad

I do not care that he was on the Kings in 2014. I think it's a silly reason not to want a player.

I don't want him cause he's a trash goalie that will do NOTHING for us.

He's been trash for a minute.

One year at .910 in the last 6 seasons.

I don't care where he is from, nor what his favorite team was.

This team irks me very often.

[Gardner McKay]

This is... woof. He is a good veteran presence but he is absolutely toast. I'd have more faith in Lundqvist coming out of retirement with no practice to be our backup than Quick.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

The guy stinks so this is a clear downgrade from last year

 

[Matt Rentfree]

Tell you what, Rangers. I'm also a terrible goaltender and grew up as a Rangers fan. Furthermore, I need the 750K - 1M a LOT more than Quick does and I'll win just as many games. Whaddaya say, Drury?

 

[LOFIN]

Would rather have Halak.

Who wouldn't? But we can't afford him.

 

[HANK30]

Him being a Giants fan has to count for something, right?
