Quick - buy low or buyer beware?
His owner is shopping him in my league. He owns Elliott, so I'm thinking about offering Halak for Quick + picks to see if it'll at least get a conversation started.
Thoughts on Quick? Is he a clear winner over Halak in your eyes?
Current roster/format in sig.

I own Quick in my dynasty league and I'm not sure how I feel. It seems like selling low is dangerous now, but so is buying low. Back surgery on a goalie will freak anyone out and could seriously mess up his career. I think the only answer available to us right now is that we need more data and info before making a big decision.
I'd tend to sit tight and keep in mind that this is a very short season. But Quick previously had a couple good seasons in a row. Do you want to gamble?

I can't imagine you being able to trade Halak for Quick plus picks. I couldn't even see Halak for Quick working straight up. It doesn't hurt to try though, and try I would. To me Quick is a definite buy low and not a buyer beware, grab Quick while you can, because he won't be available for long.
If someone wants to trade Quick.....they will "quick"-ly regret it.
But if you sense theres vultures around, go get your deal done! Good luck.

I agree with this - you'll have to give the picks. Halak + picks for Quick to the Elliott owner is a good starting offer and may get the conversation started towards making a deal. Who knows, it may not take much more to get the deal done, depending on the picks (if relevant enough to the other manager). Given that it's a limited keeper I'd be prepared to give a high-ish pick if that's what it takes. Or a player he covets that you're not going to keep.Originally Posted by forumname
The key bit of info you provided is that the owner is shopping him, which means he's getting impatient. It's a perfect time to pounce. But until you get feedback you won't know how much he values him.
I like Quick but I do not think he is the cream of the crop Goalie that a lot of people do. I had him around 4th in my personal rank going into the season behind the likes of Rask, Price and Lundqvist. While I do think Quick is a stud I do not put him on the other 3 guys level. Quick had a stellar year last year I just see some regression coming. He should be a 2.2-2.3 GAA with a 917 SV% IMO which is still elite but not the top dawg. In my new keeper league that started this year I took Rask and Prices rounds 2 and 3 and was thrilled. Give me a the duo of Rask & Price over any duo in the league including Lundy and Quick.
