The Camden Courier-Post is reporting that the Flyers could be interested in acquiring netminder Jonathan Quick from the Los Angeles Kings.
Rumor has it that Philadelphia could be offering up Jeff Carter as well as a high draft choice for Quick.
Quick's numbers are good. His record last season was 39-24-7 with a GAA of 2.54 as well as a save percentage of .907. He had four shutouts to his account last season. These numbers fall directly in line with his career marks of a 2.55 goals against and a .908 save ratio.
Carter has good numbers also, and it would be a shame to see him go, but this move could be what puts Philadelphia over the top in terms of winning a Stanley Cup. Leighton looked great up into the Cup Finals, but fell apart in the Chicago series, thus becoming the first goalie in Finals history to be pulled from the series twice. A better option would be to keep Leighton as a back up, and push current back-up Brian Boucher through waivers or land him in Adirondack.
Another rumor is that the Flyers could move for Jonathan Bernier, Quick's backup. Although he is a back up, his numbers are very similar to Quick's and he is a younger, possibly cheaper option as well.
