Description
Not sure on the value of some of these players or if their team just wants to get their contract gone, or if they have a higher value then something we want to move at this point.

Just some options to look at though I doubt any of these moves are made.

1.
BUF
    Not sure if buffalo would be willing to move him, he’s an older goalie who’s really been a backup most of his career. Columbus could use him as a veteran presence to work with the younger goalies we have.
    2.
    EDM
      Some Edmonton fans seem to just want to get rid of him. I’m his career, he’s been better when he faces a lot of shots. If his career is over Columbus could be a final shot to show he can play at this level or not.

      MIN
        With the emergence of the younger goalie and Dubnyk back to a better form Stalock seems to be the odd man out, maybe he’d be an easy pick up for the season.
        4.
        CBJ
          Kinkaid or Lindgren
          MTL
            With Price and Primeau Montreal doesn’t need either goalie as they are the 3rd and 4th best goalies in the system... if not lower. Give them a chance to see what happens.
            5.
            CBJ
              Quick or Campbell
              LAK
                Not sure I’d want to pay the price that LA would ask for Quick but if we think we could make the playoffs then maybe it’s worth a shot... Peterson is the goalie of the future and moving Campbell would open an NHL roster spot for him.

                Not very likely for either goalie tbh.
                6.
                CBJ
                  Schneider or Doumingue
                  NJD
                    Not sure Schneider is the option, but if he can be like he was in Vancouver then maybe he could be a good add. Doumingue is a backup and might be worth a try as a number one without Korpisalo.
                    7.
                    NYR
                      One of the least likely options- but maybe you get him and tell him he’s the number one and don’t lose it... though and in division trade is always risky.
                      8.
                      PIT
                        Again, I don’t see this one happening but maybe something comes and DeSmith takes the job and runs with it... but as said in division trades are tricky.

                        I’d add Murray but he would cost more then Columbus would really be willing to sell as it’s an in division trade.
                        9.
                        CBJ
                          Jones or Dell
                          SJS
                            San Jose has been a big disappointment this season... of Jones becomes available for a cheaper price I’d say make a try for him. Dell is playing better right now, so maybe Ana Jose sticks with him for the time being.
                            10.
                            STL
                              Allen is really done in St. Louis, give him another chance and being a number one goalie, I have no idea on his value, it could be more then Columbus is willing to pay for a goalie at this point.
                              11.
                              WPG
                                Helleybuck has been amazing this year and Brossoit has been good, I don’t see Winnipeg making this move but giving Brossoit the chance at being a number one.
                                12.
                                CBJ
                                  *Not a trade*

                                  Last option would be to sign a UFA goalie, I picked Mason due to his connection to Columbus but I think he’s retired so it would be Chad Johnson, Al Montoya or Micheal Neuvirth.
                                  TOR
                                    We could also call up Vehvilainen and see what he can do in the NHL and pray that Korpisalo won’t be out more then a week or two.

                                    If you're crazy enough to take Quick and his contract off LA's hands it shouldn't cost you a cent. They should pay you.

                                    Quick has been a terrible goalie, literally potentially the worst starting goalie in the league for two seasons. He's done.

                                    Schneider is about the same except he was just poor for the last few seasons and then terrible this season.

                                    Those teams would pay you for taking the contracts off their books.

                                    Quick was terrible last season absolutely 100 percent. The first month and a half or so this season he struggled a bit and had a couple games that were disasters. But he’s turned it around and looks like the old quick. And in his defense the team was a train wreck the first couple of months always running out of position. They look much better now. Look much more comfortable with the new system. He would be worth the gamble if someone took it. Doubt anyone will though because of his contract and I honestly think the Kings want him to help Peterson. Campbell is prob the odd man out and could be had.

                                    If someone offers you an out on that contract you take it and run.

                                    Your old gm gave him a long term deal to keep his cap hit down during your contender years and it was worth it. You got two cups. You're paying the price that you should be happy to pay now (no one gets to take away your cups, as a Leafs fan I'm jealous). But if some team is stupid enough to take that cost of victory away from you to try to "rediscover his game" you pack his bags and drive him to the airport.

                                    His game is declined because of age and a handful of really bad injuries. He deserves his place in Kings and even NHL history but he's on the wrong end of his career

                                    Yeah I agree with you man. I didn’t say I wouldn’t trade him. Just was defending him. I’ve seen post after post on here stating that for the last several years quick has been terrible, one of the worst, and that’s just not the case. Last year he was bad. I think a lot of that was injury related. But that’s been it. He still steals games for the kings on certain nights. He’s not superhuman like he seemed in some playoffs but he’s not nearly as bad as everyone in here says. But yes at this point in his career and where the Kings are at I would absolutely trade him if I could. I’ve been saying Campbell will prob go this year or this summer, Peterson can’t be sent down without waivers next year, then wouldn’t be shocked if quick went to Seattle in the draft. With the cap no one really wants to take a chance on a goalie with a bigger cap hit.
