LA Kings Insider learned in a chat with Kings general manager Dean Lombardi last Saturday that Jonathan Quick, who suffered a Grade 2 groin strain on November 12 in Buffalo, could be sent to Manchester as part of a rehabilitation assignment. The news was reported by Lisa Dillman of the Los Angeles Times today.

Per Dillman’s article:

Lombardi said on Tuesday morning that a trip to the Kings’ American Hockey League affiliate is a strong possibility for his starting goaltender.

It is not a done deal, however.

There are several factors, including the Monarchs’ travel schedule and how Quick feels about the option.

JQ getting closer to returning. damn good news for LA and Team USA

if he goes to MAN that would be fun to see

I think this would be a great idea. We would like to have him back, but we don't need to rush him. It would be nice to bring him back in slowly.

 

[kingsholygrail]

I think a rehab assignment would be a great way to get some strength built up and see how ready he is. He did say there were things he wouldn't know until he was in a game situation. Might as well be a Manchester one. I doubt it'd be a long conditioning assignment.

from the article and tweet it sounds like a two game weekend stint, if the schedule works out

Hope Quick does join the Monarchs, it would be great to see him again in Manchester, unfortunately the Monarchs are in NY and PA for the next 3 games.

If so, I'll be headed back early to be there.

I agree with everyone else, that would be great. It would also be pretty badass to see him take the ice again for them.

And I'd love to talk to him.

QUICK STOP HANDLING THE PUCK. BAD BOY. Then spray him with a water bottle.

Use more than a water bottle. Try a fire hose.

He really needs to do this. As long as Jones gets the next several starts no reason to rush it. with how bad the offence is the last thing the kings need is a rusty goalie.

I remember Stephane Fiset coming to Lowell for a rehab stint where two things happened... I got to meet DT and Andreas Lilja had such a monster game (2G-1A IIRC) that he earned his first call-up a couple of days later.

Now if one of the rehab games were to be in Providence...

 

[CNS]

Confirmed assignment for JQ. No dates set yet though. Likely this weekend or next.

 

[Telos]

The perfect thing for him.

 

[Little Psycho]

Well, this sucks. :/

@reallisa: Rob Blake said bad weather will likely prevent Quick from getting to minor league asmt

@reallisa: Flight was supposed to connect thru Detroit but it was cancelled #quick

 

[Reclamation Project]

So is it postponed or cancelled?

 

[PredragD]

What about rehab w/ Ontario Reign? They are on the west coast this week.

 

[Little Psycho]

No AHL time for Quick due to weather conditions.

But Blake said that Quick's connecting flight to Detroit had been canceled. Not only was there a concern about getting Quick to the game Friday, but the Kings didn't want him stranded in the East by more bad weather, preventing him from getting back to Los Angeles at the start of next week for practice, Blake said.
[12:24 p.m. update: This just in: Quick will travel back to Los Angeles with the team after tonight's game. So, no minors for him].

Would have been great, but might as well get him back on the ice asap.

This is likely why they're taking him back to LA. Better to practice with the team than be stuck in an airport. Maybe next weekend.

Sounds more like they're gonna skip the conditioning assignment altogether because the travel isn't working out and there would be little point delaying Quick's return just for a conditioning stint.

 

[scryan]

so tues perhaps.

Will be interesting to see. Really could see this going either direction for the first little bit, but I unfortunately think it may take a good few for him to be back on it completely.

Sounds more and more like you are right and there won't be one.

I think it woulda been nice, but if delaying Quick's return another couple weeks just to play some games in Manchester is what's on the table, I don't see management going that route.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Can they send the entire roster to rehab, including the coaching staff?
