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

[N o o d l e s]

So much for all those picks for Gavrikov

If the money is right, players pretty easily forget.... The way Vegas hast treated players over the years, hell, not a single "star"-player on his mind should sign there... And yet, they get their shinny toy every year.....

The majority of the players know damn well it´s also a business. Even Anze Kopitar and Drew Doughty....

Or maybe 20-something’s like the idea of living and playing in Vegas.

Why didnt Quick choose to just play better?

It sucks to hear the truth but that is the truth. He took his salary from the Kings but did not honor his end of the deal and perform.

That's how contracts work. Take emotion out of it.

He got a 1st, that’s all that matters

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Fantastic trade for the kings.

Sucks that Quick and LA fans didn't at least know when his last game would be.

 

[danyhabsfan]

Well, they pretty much have informed him of their intention and he can still leave on his own terms by retiring now.

yes after the game and he flew back with the team...So weird

 

[Bandit]

Disappointed that Quick won't be retiring a King but I understand why it had to be done.

Also Arizona...

Kings should have bought out Quick's final year during this past off-season, but Petersen mentally falling off a cliff messed up their plans. With his playoff performance, Kings could have at least tried to trade Quick with salary retained. It appears to me that GM Blake is not that personable even with the long time vets, nor should he be. Quick didn't have a NMC/NTC, so he was putting his faith that the Kings would honor his full contract. This is a business, so feathers get ruffled here and there. For the naysayers, you could argue that Quick didn't honor his part of his contract on the final year with the fact his performance was so horrible.

Quick was great last year

They could also have informed him weeks ago of their intention

Exactly. What was LA supposed to do? Trade a top 9 forward to clear cap space and make the team worse? Great trade by LA IMO.

Who said they didn’t ? Seravalli? Lol
Any UFA-to-be should never be shocked to get traded at the deadline.

No doubt, though none of us know whether they did ot not.

They may have said to him you're gone, or, said you may be moved, or told him no chance we move ..

Is Quick a hall of famer?

2 cups, one Conn Smythe, 2 Jennings, but lots of down seasons too. Reminds me of Chris Osgood's career.

 

[Jungle Boy]

Quick is my favorite all time King but due to the circustances this had to be done. He had a very good second half and playoffs last year but has been really bad (I mean BAD) this year, so with the Petersen situation and Copley deserving to be the backup (quick coundn’t cut it) this trade needed to be done. It sucks but that what it is.

And they wouldn't like living and playing in LA?

Dustin Brown got a statue but best we can do for you is Ohio

Osgood didn't get 1/10 the recognition Quick got.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Quick should put the tank back on schedule. Savvy move by Jarmo

He’s 3rd in wins amongst USA goalies. I think he has a strong case for the HOF.

A lot of people got this year's deadline prices wrong on many of these deals.

Especially Arizona's GM!

And 36 statutes in front of Staples Center

It is close, I think he gets in. Barrasso is not in but the story on him was he was a total jerk to to he media and are holding that against him.

Quick is actually clutch while Osgood was just labeled clutch.
