kliq 3,755 Report post Posted February 26, 2017 What! I dont get this at all. Quick just came back yesterday, and Budaj is playing great this year. 1 e_prime reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e_prime 1,936 Report post Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) Agreed Kliq. Also... there's no real details on TSN. No idea what's going back to Tampa. Edited February 26, 2017 by e_prime Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

derblaueClaus 1,668 Report post Posted February 26, 2017 That's just hard towards Budaj. This trade doesn't make much sense atm. Guess we have to wait for details. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shocky2002 36 Report post Posted February 26, 2017 Quick is by far the most overrated goaltender in the NHL (only had 1 great season, been a .918 average goaltender for the majority of his career), but this is just stupid. Kings need goal scoring Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chaps80 1,591 Report post Posted February 26, 2017 No details on what the entire trade involved? Also, why? Quick is back from injury, and Budaj has proved very capable in his absence and will be a solid backup going forward. What's the need for Bishop? Where does he even fit in? Unless there's another move in the works... Good job by Yzerman to move Bishop. Must be a bit of a relief. The net is now all Vasilevsky's as the franchise wanted.

To be fair, Quick hasn't played in months. I guess they feel they can make a run, and want to have another proven goalie to get them there, as the schedule for most teams in this last stretch of the season is pretty brutal.

ChristopherReevesLegs 7,022 Report post Posted February 26, 2017 They have 2 starters for a run now. Probably didnt want to lean on Budaj in a playoff situation. They can also now expose Bishop at the expansion, pretty much guaranteeing the rest of the team stays in tact. Kings got Bish for a very reasonble price too.

frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted February 26, 2017 What was Lombardi thinking? Quick will be back soon. Sure he might need a few games here and there but where is the need for Bishop? He will basically reduced to a backup role once Quick is healthy again and has his game back. Maybe LA knows something about Quick that doesn't make them comfortable going with Budaj. Awesome job by Yzerman, clears capspace and gets something for a guy who would be gone anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
derblaueClaus 1,668 Report post Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) A high price to pay if that is the case. If they wanted to protect certrain players they could have just offered the pick to the LGK instead. My guess is that the don't trust their tandem Budaj/Quick. I can see why, but the way Budaj has played this season the price for them is way too high for my taste. Edit: I take it back, it's just a seven round pick. It's still stone cold regarding Budaj qho is one of the main reasons the Kings are holding a playoff spot.

Bish is UFA this summer. They got him as insurance. With Quick's style and coming back from a bad groin injury, they are making sure they have a goalie for a run. 1 derblaueClaus reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just saw Budaj, Erik Cernac and a 7th for Bishop. So the Kings are going forward with Quick and Bishop. Looookin tough! 7 minutes ago, frankgrimes said: What was Lombardi thinking?

Budaj is part of the Bishop deal. Quick played Saturday and looked good. He'll be fine. 9 minutes ago, ChristopherReevesLegs said: They have 2 starters for a run now.

kliq 3,755 Report post Posted February 27, 2017 Got to feel bad for Budaj. The guy stood on his head all year, and now he's out of the playoff picture, nice reward for strong play. Hopefully he gets traded to a contender. 1 chaps80 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kliq 3,755 Report post Posted February 27, 2017 Is Erik Cernak supposed to be really good? I know nothing about him, If not, seems like a pretty s***ty return for TB. For an elite goaltender they get back a 7th, a goalie who is set to be a UFA, and Cernak. Now if Cernak is a stud in the waiting, I take it back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vegas does not need to, and won't, waste a pick on a UFA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was smart on behalf of the Kings, Budaj had literally zero value at the start of the season. We are likely doing the same with Vanek, going from being bought out and one wanting to sign him to being able to get us some kind of a return. I see the Kings moving Quick before the deadline for a scoring forward, I don't see them wanting both in the long term. I'd take Quick for any of our 3 goalies and a Tatar or Nyquist.

I don't disagree it was a smart move to trade Budaj, I just feel for him. I would trade Howard/Tatar or Mrazek/Tatar for Quick in a heartbeat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
