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

Lets wait until this rumored trade to be official before going crazy.. I have a hard time believing Blake/luc would do this to Quick even if it makes sense business wise. If the Jackets need a goalie back they can have Cal Petersen who would help ur team tank I also hope theres some sorta extension done for at least one of them before the trade is done Also the 1st needs to be in 24

Frank Seravalli reported that Kopitar was clearly upset in his interview after the game even though he scored 4 goals and his team won in a shootout and that Quick was saying goodbye to his teammates on the flight home after the game and tears were shed. That isn't something that happens if its just a rumor.

Also there is no chance of an extension for Gavrikov, it was made known to all teams that were looking at him that he intends to test free agency. It's been reported that is a big part of why Edmonton decided not to pursue him.

one reporter no matter how connected nationally is 100 % accurate I give you one Bob Mackenzie as proof back in 2012 i think it was said Dustin Brown was 100% traded and guess what he never was


As for extending i never said anything about him being extended I said one of them Have a nice day

If it makes you feel better for tonight to think that somehow this isn't happening then that's fine but it's been reported by more than just one reporter. I just pointed out one reporter who gave a detailed report on the mood of the team after the game. It's happening so you best get yourself into a headspace where you can accept that.

Gavirkov sucks, LAK was better off just using those assets in a Chycurun trade.

Tell me you’ve never watched Gavrikov without telling me you’ve never watched Gavrikov.

They also would have to add mountains to that trade to upgrade from Gavrikov to Chyc. Come on with this post.

This is like the whole family complaining about the old dog stinking up the living room every day for months then one day your dad takes him out back and shoots him.

lol this is f***ing ruthless

He's not good, sorry to burst your bubble. Be glad you got a good return on him but please don't overhype the guy. And of course, they would have to upgrade the package because Chycurun is better + a good contract but if I'm already spending a first on a dman why not spend a little more when you have the prospect pool + picks to get it done if you're LAK. Gavirkov would've made more sense for a team with a beat up prospect pool since you could get him with a first alone probably.

It's f***ed up the Kings traded Quick. Surely there was absolutely no need to trade him and could have had this deal with something else. I'd immediately retire if I was quick.

lol @ getting myself into a headspace where i can accept it, I have been a kings fan since 1976 I have seen this team do alot of stupid things one more isnt going to make a difference. Also i have already said clearly it makes sense business wise That clearly should make u understand i am not that upset So with that have a nice day

Quick should just retire if this does happen, what a shit thing for the Kings org to do. Always loved Quick.

 

[crashthenet]

Korpisalo has played very well. Particularly when you consider what has been playing front of him, LA should extend him in this window. Can't imagine he doesn't post solid numbers the rest of the way. May turnout to be the bigger piece in this deal.

I doubt anyone other than the "insiders" that had Gavrikov returning multiple assets sees Gavrikov as more than a reliable 4.

Don’t get what’s happened here, is the issue that Quick was traded period, or was it simply not handled well by management in terms of expectations and communication with him?

While agree they should have spent more to get Chychrun, Gavrikov is a good top 4D

Why is it f***ed?

Hockey is a a business, both financially and on the ice.

If it cost less assets to move him, then you move him. It's not like he was returning their investment in him with good play

 

[Vitto79]

Tough business . Thought Quick would retire a King for

ouef. yeah?

Lol I didn’t see this coming

 

[AmeriHab]

Quick might be just what the blue jackets need to get over the hump to tank

 

[Jovavic]

Kings other option would be attaching a sweetener to Petersen and apparently Blake wasn't down with that

 

[Primary Assist]

I mean... It sucks. But it's also a great trade for LA

How it was handled, Quick has no trade protection

 

[KingsCrunch]

All this rumbling without a

is just stupid.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Quick being cast aside like an old carcass is rather pathetic.

 

[Sparky206]

Could the reason for no confirmation be that Blake wants to talk to quick and ultimatly put the trade in his hands

 

[Tanknation]

Yes, how terrible of L.A giving him an opportunity to make millions, win cups etc. What a shit organization. How dare they run a business at the tail end of his career!! Ban the team from the NHL. What a disgrace.

 

[NHL Dude 120]

There are zero NHL teams that are going to sign him, he's completely cooked.

I mean a 1y minimum deal to help with a tank plus even if he sucks he could still be a good teacher for a young tender.

He’s not going to give up on their ”run” for that

Does dad not know about vets? Dad seems a bit off.
