he was being cheeky. he's saying there's a $7 mil bench warming franchise goaltender, and that's Luongo.
Isn't Lou the starter in Van ?
He sat for like not even half a season.

I missed the part were Luongo is Quick, a Playoff MVP , and Cup winner.
And arguably the best goalie over last two playoff years on any NHL team.
Where is that Luongo ?

Well, he was the best goalie in the NHL.
Correct, he WAS.
Currently, Jonathan Quick IS one of the best goalies, if not the best.
First of all, those are quarterbacks not goalies, they're completely different. Secondly, they were replaced by young up and coming prospects with spectacular talent who eventually went on to become franchise QBs. They were not hot hands, they were younger, better QBs in the eyes of the organization.
Scrivens is a backup. He's fulfilling his role right now but sooner or later, he is going to come back down to earth, so hopefully Quick will be ready by then. But even if he somehow sustains this, you still put your franchise goaltender back in.
I just came to see how Scrivens is doing and glad he is doing well.
When you say come back down to earth, I want to say we didn't give you guys a bag of pucks for Bernier. Scrivens is an extremely smart young man and he can back that up athletically. He may be playing a little over his head and not as good as Quick when Quick is on but he is in all honesty a great tender.
Good luck in the west guys.
Why hasn't the club placed him on IR?
Not so much about Quick but what I'm a bit confused by is why we haven't called up another d-man. It's been a lot of games with just 6 d-men on the team. Kinda of strange?
He's not currently on the IR because the club doesn't need to free up a roster spot. Regular IR doesn't have any cap space benefits so unless we need to make a call-up or activate someone there's not much point in filling out the paperwork.
LTIR does have cap benefits as teams are allowed to spend over the cap by the portion of the players cap hit that they were on LTIR. However, this carries a minimum of 10 games or 24 days, whichever is longer. Luckily, this can be done retroactively to the day he was injured so even though he's not on LTIR yet if Lombardi decides to do so tomorrow it would be as if he'd been on LTIR since November 12th. This would then mean that he'd be ineligible to return until 12/7.
They had to call up Jones.
And see Tadite, below. There are only six D on the roster.

Any word on Quick's recovery? Is he skating?
Just hoping he takes his time so he doesn't go all DiPietro on us.
