Dissecting the Hall of Fame case for Rangers G Jonathan Quick 

Making the case for Jonathan Quick 

In 19 NHL seasons, Quick owns 410 wins — the most ever for an American-born goalie — and a collective 2.79 GAA, having saved .910 percent of the pucks he's faced. His trophy case also includes most of the awards that often translate into an eventual Hall of Fame induction.

Quick is a three-time Stanley Cup champion, winning two as the Los Angeles Kings' starting goaltender (2012, 2014) and one more as a backup with the Vegas Golden Knights (2023), a two-time winner of the William M. Jennings Trophy awarded to the goalie with the fewest goals allowed and was named the 2012 Conn Smythe for his stellar play throughout the Kings' first Stanley Cup title. He was even a member of three NHL All-Star teams. 

Making the case against Jonathan Quick 

Upon first glance, Quick's resume may seem worthy. However, there is one big blemish that may detract some voters. Other comparable goalies have yet to earn enshrinement. 

Despite being among the best at the position during his prime, Quick's resume is void of a Vezina Trophy as the league's top goalie, granted he did come close multiple times. Quick was the runner-up for 2011-12, third for 2015-16 and fifth for 2013-14, one of the sessions he took home the Jennings. 

Quick also doesn't have any international moment to push him over the line. He was a member of USA's silver-medal team in 2010, but failed to experience even one minute in net. Quick went 3-2 with a 2.17 GAA in 2014, but USA failed to medal. 

Jonathan Quick may have to wait behind other comparable goalies  

And when looking at goalies of the past, the names Chris Osgood and Curtis Joseph stand out as a couple with similar resumes who have been denied Hall of Fame status. 

Also a three-time champion with two from work as a starter, Osgood has a slightly better overall GAA at 2.49 and a similar save percentage with a runner-up as his best finish for the Vezina. 

While Joseph never won a Stanley Cup, he does have an Olympic gold medal, has more wins at 454 and has five seasons in the top five for the Vezina. 

As his career comes to an end, Quick's Hall of Fame case now becomes one of the most interesting to watch in the years to come.
