Predict what happens with Quick this Season

[Johnny Utah]

If Lucic and Marleau can get traded, Quick can.

 

[Lt Dan]

If Lucic and Marleau can get traded, Quick can.

Tor also gave up a 1st round pick to get rid of his contract.

 

[SlimCharles]

What if the Kings retained 2M on Quick's contract? Or would the Kings rather just keep him since we're rebuilding anyways? I feel like there are at least 1 or 2 GM's out there that would be interested in Quick bouncing back for a contender. Like many have said though, it's pretty irrelevant because the team is at least 2-3 years from contending again. Especially after missing out on Kakko and Hughes, but who knows maybe Turcotte will be better.

If Lucic and Marleau can get traded, Quick can.

Lucic went for another forward with years left on his deal, and Marleau cost a 1st, and had just the 1 year left. The whole point of getting rid of Quick would be to open up a spot on the roster for Petersen, but they would have to take back a goalie, likely with a bad contract, in any trade for Quick, which doesn't help with opening a spot for Petersen.

He has never been at a lower point in his career. There is not one thing that he has going in his favor(age, contract, play), other than his Conn Smythe 7 long years ago. There is no out with Quick. The only out is buying him out in June.

 

[regulate]

There were some glimpses in preseason he was getting his mojo back, so it's not all doom and gloom just yet, but it certainly has not started well. Kings will hold onto Quick unless he starts playing well during the year and a potential (albeit very limited trade market) move can be made at the deadline (slim, but not completely out of the question). They will have to decide what do their options are in the off-season. It sucks they may have to move Campbell because there is no way you can get fair value in return since Blake's hands are tied and the other GM's all know this, even the questionable one's. The only other scenario is to role with 3 goalies on the NHL roster next year, never a good thing.

No he cant... you just named the two guys he could have been traded for.. and we're not giving up a 1st

A buyout isnt happening either.. At least not yet, too much term and money

 

[SFKingshomer]

He goes on LTIR after this season. He's already made 49 of the 58 million on his deal and had a great career.

It would be better to buy him out now while they can afford the high cap hit the 1st 3 years during their rebuild.

If you add Phaneuf and Richards that is a lot of dead money

They arent taking those hits the next 3 seasons.. If anything they would take on one year of a Marleau-type contract to gain assets.. What's the point of buying him out at those retention figures??

I got you LT.... and i got you ICE CREEEEEEEEAM

 

[BallPointHammer]

The Kings offense won't get any better practicing against Quick all year.

 

[KingPuckChoo]

if Campbell plays...
if Campbell plays well...
Quick will be his backup

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

There use to be a few teams that could have used a Jon Quick...sadly the numbers have faded as much as the play of this once staunch goaltender!

To put a better goalie in the net and the dead cap doesn't hurt when they're in the 1st 3 years.

It hurts in limiting the teams ability to take advantage of spare cap space. It's stupid to literally get $2.5, $2 and $1.5 of cap space then have an additional $1 mil on the books for the next 3 years.
Campbell is getting traded and Petersen is a good freebie

 

[SlimCharles]

Yeah, it seems trading Campbell and just riding it out with Quick eventually retiring a King is probably the best option. The cap hit he carries can benefit a rebuilding team that needs cheap young players in order to hit the floor. Quick/Petersen sounds good for now.

Trade Quick to OTTAWA next summer when Anderson retires.

L/y SVPs: Campbell .928; Quick .888... if that doesn't provide a hint to the Kings about who the backup should be, they'll never figure it out.

 

[goosh]

Cap space isn't much of a concern right now since Kings aren't in "contender" status, but something will have to give after the season, as Cal Petersen won't be waiver-exempt any more. The Kings will likely trade Jack Campbell, and Quick will stay on as a mentor/back-up next year. After that, maybe a buyout or retirement will be in order.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

So how do you feel about Campbell's .885 this season?

It's almost as if there's more to it, right?

Sick of this oft-repeated disingenuous 'analysis' based on a time capsule of the worst year in Kings history.

That might be a Melnyk special, given he'll have a high cap hit and low salary.

While 31 games isn't the biggest sample size, I will go out on a limb and say .928 over 31 games is slightly more telling than .885 over 2 games. BTW, Quick is 42 for 56 (.750) so far in this young season. I'll go out on another limb and suggest not much is going to change with him this year.
