Budaj when Quick is back ?

[bluteau]

Just got him on a trade and happy whit his stat so far, Quick should be back around mid February so Budaj will have no fantasy value...

Not true. Budaj will remain with the Kings for the rest of the season and probably get a decent amount of starts for a backup. They arent going to send him down because he will be claimed if they try. He is an upgrade on at least 20 of the current backups in the league. They wont want to ride Quick too hard leading into the playoffs so I think you can expect Budaj to get 1/3 to 1/4 of the starts if/when Quick returns. If Quick gets re-injured again, which is possible since he opted not to have surgery, or doesnt round into form, then Budaj will see more work.

I would go with something along the lines of he'll start 1/4 of the games, be out of his rhythm and be mediocre. Exactly what you expect of a backup.

I bet Quick isn't back until mid march or later.

This is probably correct.

Though I agree with EB ill be surprised if Quick is back for anything more than 10-12 games which could be a killer in h2h play offs....
