Rumor: The Fourth period: Quick to Leafs?

[tomd]

Quick can still put forth a good effort now and again but his days of being a premier NHL starting goaltender are pretty much done. Even this year in front of a pretty solid Kings team he has been very inconsistent from game to game or even from period to period. I would not trust him to be a starting goaltender in an important 7 game playoff series.

 

[KingTech]

Holl is a top 4 D that's not happening

La is looking for a defenseman in any deal so if not Holl who ? sandin is off limits i assume so is Liljegren i bet You can't keep all of them and i would think Holl would be the lesser of the 3

 

[kevsh]

The Kings are not looking to 'get out' of Quicks contract

... Because they don't have another starter right now to replace him.

Cal Peterson says hello

 

[Sniperberg]

Im gonna offer a slightly used Ryan Miller to you Torontonians in exchange for a 1st-rounder.

Andersen > Quick

both playing under their potential but Quick has another year on his contract so that makes it worse. Even if LA retained it wouldn't be all that appealing as Quicks' numbers are on par with if not worse than Andersens. Better the devil you know...not to mention Matthews and Andersen are buddies so what would that do to the dressing room?

Quick + to even get the conversation started.

Is it possible Dubas is reading Quick with:

Supersonic Secret Metrics Unavailable to Pedestrians/ Mortals

???

we know they want iafallo

Dennis Bernstein has been floating lame trade proposals for months on KotP.

That would probably be Lilly actually Holl is in the top 4 he's not going anywhere and Sandin is the #2 prospect in the system I doubt Quick gets a top 2 prospect from anybody because goalies do not have high trade value, I never understood why but they don't

 

[Yog S'loth]

Toronto may want to get rid of Andersen, but I can't imagine taking on an additional two seasons of Quick is really what they're looking for.

And for LA, yes they had a ridiculous goalie pipeline, but one trade after another has emptied that pipeline. Kuemper and Campbell were the last two to go, and now beyond Quick and Petersen... the cupboard is pretty much bare. Grosenick was pulled off the scrap heap and could maybe be a backup for a short period of time... but I certainly wouldn't trust Villalta or Ingham with anything until and if they can ever emerge from mid-round pick ECHL obscurity and prove something. And I never want to see Berube in a Kings sweater.

Doesn't seem to make sense from either side.

 

[MrGroove]

hehe I called this 2 weeks ago...
Trades and Free Agency 2021 | Any day now?

I mentioned Quick retained 50%. mentored Campbell, MVP and 4-0 in game 7s.
Freddy: 0-8 in deciding games.
I’m sure Quick has a better chance to make that save in the playoffs. We won our last cup with an older goalie...
another off the board player from LA that fits our needs, might be cheap and can leave unprotected if really needed is Jeff Carter. leafs fan as a kid. stanley cup winner.plays C. perfect 3rd line player who still has a great shot and could score a big OT goal in the playoffs...

It's not just about this year although if you can get LA to retain salary, especially if they retain 50% that does A LOT for your deadline cap space.

But Freddy is likely gone next year unless he takes a dirt cheap deal, and to be fair the way he's played he might not have a choice.

You can't have Jack Campbell carrying the load long term no matter how good he's been, and he's been great because he's only played 4 games and never played above 31 games in a season and only 68 in his entire career that's not enough.

So ethier Freddy takes a dirt cheap deal or you need to bring somebody in

 

[MrGroove]

if we believe Campbell is taking over, Quick comes in, works with Campbell. can be left unprotected. not a lot of options for goalies next year but at 2.9M is cheaper then Freddy.
Quicks last playoff was 2018,
his numbers at that time
1.55 goals against
.947 save percentage
let those numbers sink in...
if our goalie gave us those numbers = cup

If I’m the leafs GM I’m calling and asking about Holtby

 

[Leaf Fans]

If I’m the leafs GM I’m calling and asking about Holtby

Just to say hello?

 

[Rabid Ranger]

This doesn't make much sense to me. I don't think the Leafs have the cap space to truly upgrade the goaltending position. I think they are are better off seeing what Campbell can do and hope Andersen gets his mojo back.

 

[MrGroove]

a retained Quick saves the leafs 2.1M to spend on a forward or D. If you still trust Freddy in the playoffs, please watch the game 7’s. nothing else to say...

You seen Holtby play lately?

The playoffs are a different sport altogether.
One of those goalies hasn't even won a playoff round on his current team and the other has 2 cups and a Conn Smythe


But let's let the stats speak for themselves

Andersen

Quick

they are not even close in the playoffs. One is a future HOFer because of his playoff resume' while the other will be all but forgotten when someone better comes along

 

[Little Psycho]

No thanks. I rather have Quick than Anderson and judging by some of the comments here it's pretty obvious to figure out those that haven't watched him.

Heard this from time and time again with the Toffolis, Muzzins, Williams, etc. Once they end up on the east coast, Kings fans are the ones being taught what they bring to the table lol.

 

[Schmooley]

Quick is light years better than Andersen. Its not even close and never was. Quick is the best playoff goalie in the league. Andersen is the opposite. I posted on the Leafs board when they got Campbell that they will want him to be the starter soon enough. That came true. And Quick is better than Campbell.

 

[Budz]

It’s so amazing to me how people still don’t understand the salary cap and contracts.

 

[dubey]

Wrong

Nope

 

[NikoEhlers]

I dont know exactly how you'd do this, the teams are probably gonna have to get creative on this one, and get a third team involved to handle some of the cap the coming seasons, if these rumours are true.
