Hey guys,

a quickie here....

in a points only keeper league, which goalie you want to own?

Pekka Rinne or Jonathan Quick

2 pts win
3 extra for shutout

Thanks guys

Quick, easily. Rinne might put up some good stats, but the wins are tough to come by in Nashville.

[ddp]

Rinne. Still not sold on Quick with Bernier the future stud around. 1 Year easily Quick.

[letnry]

Hmmm interesting call. Rinne will likely post more shutouts, Quick with more wins. My gut would give the edge to Rinne, although injuries could equal the playing field even further.

Quick hands down, better team, better stats, better goalie.

[Scribe]

Looks like you got enough answers already, but at the risk of piling on, I'll say Quick.

He's moved beyond Bernier's placeholder in my opinion. Even if LA gives Bernier the No. 1 job, they're going to deal Quick and his bargain contract to someone who needs a goalie and will make him their No. 1.

If he stays in LA, he's on a better team than Rinne is that will get you more wins.

[jff100]

Definitely Quick. His numbers this year are out of this world. Also, I think he should have better trade value.

Absolutely Quick in both 1 year and keeper leagues. Both goalies are talented and both goalies have back ups behind them that can threaten to take playing time both this year and in the future (If you don't think Lindback is a threat to Rinne then you're dreaming). In a 1 year league Quick obviously has the better support for more wins. Rinne will give you good stats, but the wins won't be as high as Quick. As a keeper goalie I have more trust in Quick. If he gets moved to another team, he already plays for a fairly offensive styled team so he'll be experienced with the situation and still do great. Rinne on the other hand has had the benefit of playing in a defensive system so when he moves to another team (notice I said when and not if, look at Nashville's history when dealing with goalies) one has to ask themselves how will he do? Will the lack of Nashville's defensive system cause his numbers to balloon? Look at Chris Mason and Dan Ellis. They were both starters with excellent numbers for Nashville and now both of their numbers are pretty shoddy in Atlanta and Tampa Bay respectively. You have to ask yourself will that happen to Rinne.

Quick and its not even close. And for those who think Bernier will steal this job, there's no way that will happen. At the end of the year, Quick very well could be in the Vezina competition and he is the Kings MVP so far this season. Have any of you seen Bernier play this season? He has done nothing to earn any of his starts. The only reason he is even playing is so Quick can get some rest.

When are people gonna realize Quick is the real deal? I'd be looking to acquire him now before he officially hits "elite" status. And in my mind, that's not too far from now.

As for Rinne...everytime he gets hurt, Lindback comes out and plays amazing, so a few bad games from Rinne and Lindback is right there...didn't Lindback just have two shutouts last week?

Haha, its funny because you said Quickie in a thread bout "Quick". Good job if you meant to do that. Quick on a better team, and better in general means hes better than Pekka overall.

[Sin Bin]

For me it's Quick...

[A Watch]

In a one year I'm going quick but in a keeper it's Rinne. Nashville has a history of making a great tender and moving them on to a better team. I also don't think Lindback will be a 1B anytime soon but Bernier may be (though Lindback is a heelava tender). If anything happens to Rinne it will be to be moved to a team with to much up front and not enough in the back. As a flyer fan, I dream of the day Rinne goes to philly

In the end... I would go Rinne because he has more upside and he should get more shutouts in Nashville.

And he could beat up Quick in a fight

[Noriculous]

Quick now and again.

I even think that Bernier won't be able to unseat him. But even if he does, he'll be a #1 somewhere else.

[Vertig0]

I'd say Quick as well, without a doubt. He's pretty much put the doubters to rest by continuing his stellar performances this season and he has a much better team around him.

As far as the "Bernier Situation" goes, based on recent play, Nashville may have a "Lindback Situation" on their hands if Rinne ever falls into a slump (not to mention his trips to the IR this season).
