Kings blew it - the Lafferty and McCabe deal was the deal they needed to make.

A physical LHD man with term and a role player Center who can kill penalties and scrap.

And half of McCabe salary ate by Chicago. I would have loved him here.

As a pure rental, I'd probably send a 3rd for Gavrikov.

Yep, that’s fair. At most, I’d do a conditional 2023 2nd if the Kings reach the conference final (reverts to a 3rd in 23’ if not), 2024 3rd and someone like Madden for Gavrikov, Korpisalo and a 5th in 2023.

Gavrikov is fine as a 2nd pair guy, nothing more.

 

[AmadiosAmigos]

If the Kings are trading assets I want it to be for a goalie, specifically Saros! Hes signed and in his prime.
Chychrun would be nice but he’s useless if we dont have a capable goalie.

Also - lets move on from Iafallo. I know many love him but in this market he would fetch a pretty penny and moving him would give us far more flexibility within the cap

 

[KingsHockey24]

Jonathan Quick traded

WOW

 

[FSL KINGS]

From main boards

 

[AbsentMojo]

Got sent this just now is that a fake acct

 

[kingsboy11]

Those are the real accounts, looks to be true

 

[Herby]

I can't believe they would do this to Quick. I am happy the Kings now have an NHL goaltender, but this leaves a bad taste that this is how it ends for one of the greatest players in team history.

 

[Little Psycho]

Wtff

 

[Moses Doughty]

And my week of mourning commences. Really hoping he's technically retiring now and the contract goes anyways

 

[The Butcher]

I can't believe they would do this to Quick. I am happy the Kings now have an NHL goaltender, but this leaves a bad taste that this is how it ends for one of the greatest players in team history.

Possibly. Quick might have had a serious heart to heart and maybe this was his way of helping his teammates one last time.

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

What the f***

 

[AbsentMojo]

I dont want this. Why woould clodumbus want JQ last 20 games?

 

[cyclones22]

If this is legit, I find it hard to believe that Quick didn't know ahead of time.

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Cause they're tanking. And they got a first out of it. Probably wouldn't have if they didn't take him.

If this is legit, I find it hard to believe that Quick didn't know ahead of time.

I'm sure the whole team knew ahead of time.

 

[YAYSAY]

A 1st for a middling goalie and a rental D? Along with trading the most beloved goalie in kings history. Wtf

 

[Steve Zissou]

Woah woah woah did not expect Quicky to be part of the deal. Bummer.

I'd thought for sure he was gonna ride the pine if they snagged Korpisalo.

Hopefully Korpisalo comes with an extension.

 

[DAkings20]

Whoa

 

[AbsentMojo]

Everytime we do deadline deals w Columbus something good happens - but this is beyond the pale

 

[Fishhead]

I can't believe they would do this to Quick. I am happy the Kings now have an NHL goaltender, but this leaves a bad taste that this is how it ends for one of the greatest players in team history.

I agree with this.

The bright side is one of the biggest criticisms of Blake around here is he won't move on from the old core and that he doesn't make the tough decisions. At least that is out the window.

 

[AbsentMojo]

Good chance this f***s up the room

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Good chance this f***s up the room

Sounds like it already did. Read Quick is pissed.

 

[kings11]

Well f***, I’ll always have live for Quickie but this is odd, tough, a bit depressing really. Maybe they said would you rather be traded or sent down and he was ok with the trade.. but another report is says Quick is furious
