Confirmed Trade: [LAK/CBJ] Joonas Korpisalo and Vladislav Gavrikov for Jonathan Quick, 2023 1st Round Pick (Cond) & 2024 3rd Round Pick

[JKG33]

I would have given Quick one more playoffs as the starter. He was very very good last playoffs Vs Edmonton. He literally stood on his head for 7 games.

I've been preaching it all season. At least give him game 1. But now that ship has sailed

Unless Quick Jeff Cartered a bunch of hockey wives in the last couple of years I could see this kind of move honestly sinking the Kings. They're human beings and a gut punch from management like that could easily demoralize them going into the playoffs. Reminds me of when the caps traded Brooks Laich for Daniel Winnik in 2016 when they looked like an absolute machine going into the playoffs. Proper move on paper but you could see the air let out of the room after with the caps unceremoniously folding to the Penguins. And Quick meant a lot more to the Kings than Brooks Laich ever did to us

Damn. Slim pickings over there eh?

I like you @JoeSakic13 , and am guessing you’re joking around with me. @Raccoon Jesus is as solid a Poster as we have here at HF.

 

[Dempsey]

think Edmonton makes the playoffs?

Considering they're closer to 1st in the conference than being out, have a light schedule remaining after having a tough schedule to start, are first in their division in goal differential and are adding at the deadline....yes.

 

[kilowatt]

I'm so f***ing mad lmao

 

[go4hockey]

Come on. Quick's farewell tour can't prevent you from making a move to improve your team in a wide open West. He wasn't playing good enough to stay. He will get over it.

Still a shitty way to treat him and very classless. If I was running things the goalie would have been addressed in the offseason or you carry three.

Did #21 SJ just crosscheck Matheson in the back of the head?
broooo

Haha I like you too, of course I’m just messing with you.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I wonder if Quick stays in Columbus or if he gets moved to a contender like Vegas, or depending on what's up with Murray maybe Toronto

 

[Ovi895]

Yes, when he has been injured. Should King’s go to the playoffs with Quick because of his great career.Not much done lately.

I guess Korpisalo is never not injured because he has had like 20 games in his career when he has not been ass

 

[Paulinbc]

He eliminated Toronto from play offs

Big deal. Lots of people have.

Get a room, you two.

Next up, Drew Doughty for Ethan Bear and Jett Woo.

 

[La Bamba]

I hope Quick just retires

 

[Viqsi]

He has some 500k in salary left for the season. Hard to know if he would give that away.

Could Columbus allow him not to report and still get paid? Most likely not, I doubt Jarmo has that much credit left.

I think then we'd be getting screamed at for cap circumvention practices. Unless the NHL and NHLPA still have souls.

Also.....


11 pages and not a single mention of the last trades that Columbus made with LA and how those worked out....

 

[tny760]

Every single move he's made since acquiring Phillip Danault has pointed towards that he thinks Kings are cup contenders though?

i think arvidsson and fiala were equally "bridge stability" moves as they were competitive moves

arvidsson if the team flopped was sheddable as a rental, and fiala/danault is long term stability through a potential rebuild with wiggle room for byfield's growth

if this team made it to the 2nd round this season, i think this is a move you make next deadline. this one? not unless you're pulling gavrikov long-term too

 

[domiwroze]

Wrong thread lmao

RIP Quick, that also means no Chychrun to LA

 

[quietbruinfan]

Is this the Wish.com Chychrun and Vejmelka

I am not the biggest Korpi fan, but it is a good package.

 

[Terry Yake]

You read through all 11 pages of this mayhem?!

Damn, take my like.

I appreciate the idea, but wasn't the last one Sekera? Which ushered in the Suck-era for LA.

edit: That was Carolina, I missed on that one

quick elevates his play in the playoffs. When he’s in the zone, there aren’t many other goalies I’d pick over him. He’s that good.

Korps hasn’t proved anything to be thought of as a legit starter. He’s been terrible for most of his career and hes not exactly that young.
