Phil Posted June 28, 2023 Author Share Posted June 28, 2023 They probably can't afford Halak. They're gonna need a veteran backup for $1M or less. Halak probably wants closer to the $1.5M he made last season. Fuck the Kings forever and ever, but whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fletch Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Move makes sense. Quick has rings. As long as Quick doesn’t see a path to a starting gig or platoon elsewhere and is willing to be backup, works for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew a Penalty Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 I'm all for the cute story of a Rangers fan finally coming home, but Quick is pretty cooked. I don't know if there's much Allaire can do to help a goalie who was more reliant on his athleticism than positioning. This kind of feels like Pavelec 2.0. Quick will get them to the midway point and then it's probably gonna be Garand down the stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWantsTheCup Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 I think at this stage of their careers Halak is the better goalie. If they both want similar contracts I would choose Halak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring in a veteran that would be ok in the AHL to compete with him for the job and see who wins it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphinity 2.0 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 First of all, fuck Alec Martinez. Second of all, fuck Jonathan Quick. And finally, 35 is retired here fucko. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieNextel305 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Halak is the ideal re-sign, but they’re gonna need him to take less than what he made last year. He was the perfect backup IMO and in an ideal world, would be in the same role again. But if he can make more elsewhere, he likely will go elsewhere. Quick would be a good backup. And honestly, given that he grew up a Ranger fan, it would make sense for him to end his career here. If he’s willing to sign dirt cheap, he’d be an adequate replacement. Especially for a team like the Rangers that’s going to need to count almost every single penny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphinity 2.0 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Quick was one of the worst goalies in the NHL last year. He's absolutely a downgrade from Halak. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a fan of the Rangers growing up is demonstrably the best thing about him as a player at this point. Guy stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a fan of the Rangers growing up is demonstrably the best thing about him as a player at this point. Guy stinks. I mean, I’m not sure I’d quite count on him to be my teams starter for 65 games a year anymore. But I think in a lesser role for, say, $800K? I’d roll the dice he can be, at least, serviceable. I think it’s clear Drury wants a veteran to back Igor up. And Quick may be the one who comes cheapest. I’d prefer Halak, obviously I think we all know I like Halak. I think he filled the role perfectly. But if we’re gonna be counting pennies here, he may get more elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should give him at least half the season as a starter in Hartford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Quick is a downgrade performance wise, but given the serious cap crunch they have, they might not have a much of a choice unless they give it to Garrand which they probably won't do just yet.

Sod16 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 He probably won't want to come to the Rangers anyway once he hears that it's going to cost $23 to drive into the city from Connecticut. As many have said, seems like he's done. Don't need another painful Marty St. Louis style exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Especially after what down in LA, I kind of expected him to retire at the end of season. On top of just basically looking done, I thought that's where he was headed. Maybe he does if nothing happens with the Rangers, or anyone. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 He was the fourth goalie on Vegas’ depth charts. He was bad for LA and Vegas. He didn’t even show up when he was on Columbus. Even at league minimum, I’d take a pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
