Will Jonathan Quick Make the Hhof

I'm not sure whats more ridiculous... that this is even a question, or your description of his resume.

He has 3 cups, 1 Conn Smythe, and 2 Jennings. Unfortunately no Vezina which he was robbed of in 2012.

After Bob and Vasi, I have a very hard time finding an active goalie with a better case for the HOF.

It's a joke to say he got robbed in 2012. Playing behind an offense that wasn't great is not in any part of the description of what a Vezina should be. Maybe if we were talking about the Hart. But Lundqvist's numbers were virtually identical. And frankly the Kings defense was better. I believe the moves made at the trade deadline that won them the cup were largely on the offensive side. So this was the same defense that wiped the floor with every opponent in the playoffs. If you want to make the case for Quick, fine. But it's utter homer nonsense that Quick got robbed.
 
Gerry Cheevers, that's the argument against him. His accomplishment list and case is the same as the man who's generally accepted as one of the worst admissions ever
Cheevers has 227 wins
Quick has 402 wins

Cheevers has 0 Conn Smythes
Quick has 1 Conn Smythe

Cheevers won 2 cups in a 6 team league
Quick won 2 cups in a 30 team league

For goalies that have played more than 14 games in the playoffs Quick has the highest save percentage in NHL history (946)

Cheevers played 11 years and over 50 games once
Quick has played 17 years, over 70 games twice, over 60 games 4 times

Cheevers isn't sniffing Quick's jock strap in terms of accomplishments.
 
Those trophy nonsense is such a bull argument and you read it everytime here.

If you are the best in the playoffs but do not win, than you dont win the Conn Smythe unless you play like Jesus Christ himself like JS Giguere.

One superb season in a year when by accident two players are superb, you might not win the Hart or Norris whatever.

In the end a player might end up with nothing at all. The Conn Smythe in 2012 should have been Doughty’s anyway. The Kings defense was too good to be true.

Lundqvist didn't rob anyone in 2012. He was the best goalie in the NHL. Quick was a close 2nd.
 
Quick had the better GAA, Quick played more games, and their SV% difference (.001) is as negligible as you can get. Hank having more wins in fewer games shows the Rags were a better regular season team than the Kings, which is where the award is voted
The Rangers of that time period really weren't that good, they were overachievers.
 
Easily. Having more wins, more Cups, and more Vezinas doesn’t make someone like Fleury a better netminder than Quick. Assuming he gets in with ease, Quick certainly should.
