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

[Ianturnedbull]

This is a shot across the bow of the Edmonton Oilers. They better smarten up and look out. Holland better break out the case of Red Bull.

Quick is actually clutch while Osgood was just labeled clutch.

A lot like his idol Richter but he did it twice.

 

[fsanford]

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

Also Arizona...

He will still retire a King you can do the 1 day contract. You would like the nostalgia of ending his career with 1 team. But it's a business

 

[Goalie_Bob]

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.

And that is bullshit. To be honest, if Barrasso hasn't made it in then Quick shouldn't either. They are basically identical in wins, losses etc.

Stanley Cups are team awards, imo. While Quick played great in their runs so did Barrasso in the Pens runs. Barrasso won two Vezina trophies which are an individual award, Quick has none.

Quick is not a HOFer IMO.

 

[Three On Zero]

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.

Absolutely

 

[Voight]

Quick is actually clutch while Osgood was just labeled clutch.

2008 he was pretty clutch IMO.

Heck, he had one helluva playoff run (yes DRW had a really solid d-core but still) - 1.55GAA, .930SV%

 

[BTP]

Wow they did Quick dirty.

From Playoff bound, sunny LOS ANGELES .... To gritty, dark and depressing OHIO, and the worst team in the league at that.. With no warning.

That f***ing sucks. I wouldn't go. Pulling a Lindross. Straight up disrespect.

 

[JS19]

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

Because he didn't play the traditional straight butterfly style of goaltending (personally IMO this was always nonsense butterfly bias in the hockey world because Osgood's results always spoke for itself + started a trend of hybrids being more normalized in the NHL), and he had a tendency to deliver some ugly save percentages here and there.

Just stating fact of why Barrasso is not in. Not saying i agree with it but that is the story of why he is not there. You treat people like shit it has consequences

 

[Galactico]

That’s the business homeboy.

 

[JT Kreider]

I stayed up all night waiting for this trade so I could scoop Korpi for my fantasy team. Hope I just got a top 10 fantasy goalie for free.

 

[LemonSauceD]

Terrible trade for LA. Not just because of Quicks sentimental value, but they got a crappy goalie and a #5 defenseman for a 1st and a conditional 3rd

today's forecast in columbus is, no joke, 70 degrees and sunny. we just had our first february on record without any snow accumulation.

today's forecast in columbus is, no joke, 70 degrees and sunny. we just had our first february on record without any snow accumulation.

And the forecast for LA today is a high of 52 and rainy.
Who would have guessed?

On top of it all, I hear that Blake is offering Korpisalo jersey number 32.

Iirc quick won the conn smythe with a historic performance behind the 8 seed kings in 2012. A little different than Barrasso with the powerhouse offensive penguins.

I can see the case for Barrasso but I have quick a bit higher. Could just be recency bias on my part.

 

[Kranix]

What's C-Bus' gangsta rap scene like?

 

[General Disarray]

So much for all those picks for Gavrikov

I thought the consensus was always a 1st?

The worst part about Columbus is that it's overrun by homeless people and has terrible smog.

Oh wait that's LA.

Upside is maybe now Quick can afford a house.

 

[David Lunch]

So, with Quick’s 3.50 GAA and .876 save percentage, you care considerably less about the Kings having a legit run in the wide open west just to be nice nice to your icon who is old and having a horrible year?

You’re not getting it. The kings have no chance at winning the cup this year, with or without this move. It’s been absolutely brutal watching Quick this year and has been it’s own torture and I frankly expect him to loose any game he starts.

This is not about winning games in a season you’re not ready to go all in.

This is about treating a franchise legend, who’s played his entire career and been SO loyal to the franchise, like a piece of trash. It’s a totally unnecessary move. Just staple his ass to the bench for another month and take the first or second round playoff loss in stride and improve over the off season. This signals to everyone in the locker room that nothing is holy.

After the perfection of the Brown retirement ceremony, this is the ugliest thing the franchise has ever done. Quick should have been able to retire with a modicum of dignity as a forever king. If you can’t understand this, there’s nothing more to talk about.

Imagine comparing living in Columbus to Los Angeles and having this take. Have fun over there.

Imagine comparing living in Columbus to Los Angeles and having this take. Borderline trolling but have fun over there.

Imagine sitting at a computer in a crappy apartment and thinking you get value out of living in LA.

Nice edit there. It's an improvement from deflecting a diss of Columbus back at Cleveland.

I'm not doing any of those things... Literally but enjoy Ohio

Sucks you have that opinion but you must be in a low tax bracket if you can't afford something I suggest going to school to get a higher salary.

 

[Cootsfanclub]

Quick getting to collect around 10% more of his last paychecks on the current contract. Not bad.
