Friedman: Blue Jackets a fit for Quick?

[CBJ goalie]

I would really be ok with this.

 

[unicornpig]

sure

 

[KingsHockey24]

Man, Derek Forbort sucks.

 

[SlimCharles]

Oh man, of all the guys who will probably get traded from the Kings this one is gonna hurt the most. Best Kings goalie of all time, it will be very sad to see him go...

 

[varano]

I could see it as a fit

 

[Sol]

Quick really regrets not having a NMC/NTC after hearing this

I hope you realize this is Friedman talking out of his ass. There's nothing behind this. Don't even know why this is even a thread.

Because Friedman isnt the only source.

Forbort isn't even an ECHL caliber defenseman.


I mean, what's the other source.

mayor put it out first yesterday...he is very connected to LAK

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I'm sure quick will love moving to Ohio from LA to play for Tortorella

He could probably get some great recommendations from Carter

I think he'd love it, and Torts would love him. Quick has more fire than 90% of the nhl. Dude is all heart. He doesn't even have appendages anymore.

Oh man, of all the guys who will probably get traded from the Kings this one is gonna hurt the most. Best Kings goalie of all time, it will be very sad to see him go...

Yep

Guy cares so damn much.

I could see him excelling being thrown right back into a playoff race instead of having to channel all that rage into breaking sticks over losses repeatedly.

Here's the tweet Fro was talking about.

Thanks man, he's blocked me on Twitter so I didn't see this lol

 

[BakerMayfield]

Kings with scouts at the blue jackets game

 

[cslebn]

What would LA want/need even?

 

[Toe Pick]

Cool, another thread where we couldn’t get past the first page without bashing the city of Columbus. Fun forum here.

Same city that TripAdvisor just named as a top 20 US city to visit this year. Same place that the NYTimes just named as a top 52 places to visit in the world this year. So yeah, what a dump.

As for Quick -- I'd definitely be interested in him as a Bob replacement. I think he'd do well on this squad.

 

[LAKings88]

What would LA want/need even?

A first will likely be sought at the least.

 

[SlimCharles]

What would LA want/need even?

Draft picks/prospects. Which ones exactly I have no idea, I don't know CBJ prospects well at all.

Blue jackets may not be in desperate need of a goalie (I was not aware of the amount of goalies they have in the system), but here's some things about Quick. He may not like getting traded if it does happen, but I'll tell you that Quick will never stop fighting for the guys in front of him. He'll never place any blame anywhere except himself and gives all the credit to his teammates. Any team would be lucky to have him as their goalie and I think he would be a great mentor for all the young goalies in the Blue Jackets system and in case they aren't ready for prime time.

 

[go4hockey]

What would LA want/need even?

Youth. Picks and prospects

 

[Viqsi]

Y'know, now that I think about it, Quick would be a great way for LA to start pulling their weight in the whole we-trade-you-a-player-and-you-win-the-Cup exchange we've had going. It's our turn now, after all.

 

[Oddbob]

Sounds familiar?
Tweet this to your GM right now!
Save us from the Bob contract!

Oh you know you want to hear the sound of 8X10! At least it sounds close to what Bob thinks he is worth. His playoff stats alone, make him a goalie I don't even necessarily want, even if the contract was decent. Quick has the better playoff success, even if he is struggling this season, the Kings have likely been brutal in front of him, which certainly can't help things.

He'd be a phenomenal leader there and the opposite of a distraction, hell I think Torts would have a man crush on his attitude. Infectious.

I feel like Quick helping an underdog team like Columbus to win a Cup is about the only way I’d be okay with him ever not wearing a Kings sweater. Plus, they did give us Carter and Gaborik.

If he’s traded, I hope he at least signs a one-day contract with us the summer he retires so he can still say he retired as a King. It’s already no question that his number is heading to the rafters.
