Jonathan Quick's injury ''could be a while''

[Capslock17]

To dump salary and gain an asset

Maybe, if they werent trying to win now. But GMs tend to strongly dislike doing this. I'd say its more likely Enroth goes back to LA

 

[JayKing]

Imagine a Zatkoff-Budaj tandem "for a while".

Yikes

Yikes

More like barf!. The last time Quick got hurt, we got away with having Jones/Scriven playing when the defense was solid. It just won't work this time around with a weaker defense in front of any tandem they go with.

 

[MessierII]

Tough for kings fans. As an oiler fan I can't be upset because of the division, playoffs and what not but sucks seeing quick go down he's a great player.

 

[stator]

Stalock probably could be cheaply picked up from the Wild.

 

[rynryn]

i think we'd rather keep stalock and dish kuemper. not because of relative skill but because of cap hit (we're pressed). also kuemper is going to want a starting job next contract and we can't offer that.

Quick out for 3-4 months

 

[iamjs]

so does LA start shopping for a goalie? Based on what I saw from Zatkoff last season, he is not the answer as a long-term starter (or even a short-term starter) and Budaj has played exactly one NHL game since the 2014.

 

[KingsHockey24]

That means Jeff Zatkoff and Peter Budaj for 3-4 months... sigh.

 

[BigEezyE22]

It probably happened because he doesn't have Justin Williams to protect him.

 

[Helistin]

It probably happened because he doesn't have Justin Williams to protect him.

Justin Williams was the glue that held Quick's groins together?

 

[iamjs]

Who do they get to backup?

is the answer Jesus?

 

[Rabid Ranger]

With as overrated as Quick apparently is the Kings should be able to plug anyone in and compete-right?

 

[The Macho King]

Bishop to King (e)5.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Man, give it a rest already with the Williams incident. Are you going to talk about it in every thread?

 

[amnesiac]

how do they not go get Pavelec?

 

[Bandit]

how do they not go get Pavelec?

Because he's terrible and expensive?

 

[InfinityIggy]

I think they should sign Ramo. He is passable when healthy, decent stop gap.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Not just compete, be Cup favorites.

 

[Poulin 0n My St1ck]

Oh boy, I can't wait to get a castoff goalie and a young middling forward for our 30+ goal best winger on his bridge contract. Come on.

Could just give us Berube back

It's the most Kings thing ever that right after their goalie depth got purged (Jones out, Berube waivers, Bartosak stupidity, etc.) Quick got hurt.

Hey! No castoff goalies on the Islanders.

Fine, you can have MDC AND Nelson and Berube for Toffoli

 

[mpp9]

They'd be better off addressing their forward depth. You can't win if you don't score.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Seems to me it would make the most sense to give a call to the Islanders about one of their three goalies.

 

[Bandit]

They'd be better off addressing their forward depth. You can't win if you don't score.

Oh yeah???? Just you watch us try!

You know, the Penguins last year ran a Fleury-Zatkoff tandem for a while, and it turned out pretty okay.

They have great chemistry together.. I think they should trade for Fleury.. it makes the most sense.
