Rumor: The Fourth period: Quick to Leafs?

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

According to The Fourth Period who have broken things like the Tavares to the Leafs are now reporting that the Leafs and Kings have spoken about the possibility of Jonathan Quick being traded to Toronto.

Freddy would have to go back and the Kings would probably have retain a portion of Quick but what do you think a deal would look like?

Man, quick has 2 more years after this one at 5.8. Idk they would have to retain a lot aka leafs have to give up a decent amount. Doesn't seem worth it to add Quick considering his age and play.

 

[Bellzy]

Freddy and a 2nd for quick 50 percent retained.

 

[Chips]

I know he’s not amazing in the regular season but doesn’t he to some extent step up in the playoffs? Was he not okay against the Knights a few years back or was his teams lack of scoring primary ?

 

[Budz]

Laughable.

Makes no sense for Leafs to trade for a goalie IF it requires assets to get. It would result in either the goalie they trade for or Campbell to be exposed in expansion this offseason. I'm ok with Quick if he's retained for Andersen. Quick won't be kept over Campbell for expansion this off-season. Also Leafs will need Quick to be less than 5MM since they'll want to reduce that positions cap hit going into the next season. So if Quick is retained 30% plus. Then maybe.

I still think what was said on HNIC about goalies coming to Canada would require to self-isolate for 2 weeks..which is worse for a goalie than a player.

Leafs would have to add a lot. First and a top prospect?

That's the thing I'm not sure they would, for whatever reason that I have never understood goalies do not have high trade value, they are incredibly important but they don't carry trade value

These rapid leafs rumors are awesome.

 

[Budz]

Leafs could dump Freddy for almost nothing - if they wanted.

His real actual cash dollars owed is likely about 400k. A team with cap space could get a pick from the Leafs or take back a small contract back.

I doubt Quick is who the Leafs would want.

EVERYthing about this is BS.

 

[David Suzuki]

I highly doubt they were the first ones on Tavarez to the Leafs

They were I remember seeing it and not believing it at first but they were first lol

 

[kingsholygrail]

I don't think this makes sense for either side.

TFP is garbage... eklund esque.

It was either them or Maple Leaf hot stove it was very VERY close, they were among the first to have it.

Regardless they have gained significant credibility since 2018

Goalies don't carry that kind of trade value

 

[ottomaddox]

Does LA have a pipeline of goaltenders to make up for moving Quick?

Not true at all.

With TFP you have to look at who is the author.
This seems to come from Pagnotta who actually is one of the top5 insiders in the business right now.

Andersen would probably go back

lmfao

Kings are taking back Freddy, who appears to have a groin issue, right? That’s almost like a cap dump, so there will be an added cost.

 

[Taluss]

I’d be surprised if Leafs do that. Another 3 years at 5.8 and he’s 35? Contract could look pretty ugly towards the end (if it isn’t already, I don’t watch Quick). Not something the Leafs need to risk imo

Quick is more expensive for longer and has a similar injury history.

 

[Mr Positive]

I don't think this makes sense for either side.

Imo it makes sense for the Kings.

Things are looking up for them. Get out of Quick's contract a little early and go nuts burning cap space whale hunting this offseason in anticipation of Byfield's rookie season.

But yeah, I don't get it from the Leafs. They are interested in getting interesting goalie RENTALS.

Or... Some cheap goalie who is also established. They are ready to overpay for that.

THey would be getting Anderson

Perhaps but that's not a 1st+ unless it's a bigger deal

In the Ekholm thread someone is proposing a trade of 2001 draft choices.
The only way that your post makes any sense is if the Kings are trading 2011-12 Jonathan Quick.
