Quick answer needed !

Should I show more patience with Quick. Or dump him and get another top goalie like Rinne or Lundqvist ? Short season in one year league.

I think if you can somehow manage to get Rinne or Lundqvist, then you do that. Although I don't think Quick is too far from either of them despite his rough start. Rinne's price has soared the last few games, while Lundqvist is starting to play like we know he does as well.

What's surprising about Quick's mediocre GAA and Sv% is that LA is allowing the second fewest SOG against per game.


Are you suggesting that you trade Quick for either of the other two? If so, what else are you looking at offering? Because it will surely need to be more than a 1-for-1 swap.

Short season...1 year league...look elsewhere. The Kings are just not able to score. We're past the 1/4 poin t and they look really off. Seaking of 'off'...so does Quick. I'm not sure what you'll be able to do but if you can somehow acquire a Rinne, or a King Henrik....do it.

Good luck!

Yup. But I'd just caution against gutting your team in order to do it. There can certainly be a point of diminishing returns when trying to "upgrade" from an elite guy to other elite guys who happen to be playing better.

Honestly tough call, we could see a repeat of last year. LA has had difficulty scoring goals the season prior too.

If you can get Rinne and Lundy at a decent price the go for it, if not I'm sure Quick will right the ship.

In a 1 year, if possible, definitely go after Lundy or Rinne! You can'afford to sit on quick and hope he turns it around, especially in a shortened season. Players must perform in this short period.

All depends how you would be able to get Lundqvist or Rinne, I doubt they will be very easy to acquire.

Since I very much doubt you will be able to fetch a return of Lundqvist or Rinne, I would be keeping Quick. Unless I'm getting a proven good starting goalie, and a clear upgrade elsewhere, I'm not shipping out Quick, and I'm certainly not dropping him for what ever is available in the way of free agents.
