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

[Pavelski2112]

Hilarious, in every way

 

[kilowatt]

f***ing god dammit, he had a month left! So f***ing stupid

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Wow I'm surprised they traded Quick. Chances he just retires? He was done after the season anyways.

 

[Turin]

Weird to do that over a crappy goalie and a crappy defenseman

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Regardless of the situation with Quick, this is an excellent opportunity for Korpisalo. Change of scenery, playoff team, #1 spot up for grabs.

That’s gotta be exciting for him and if he gets off to a good start, I’m sure the team will be excited too.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Korpisalo >>>>> Elvis this season

I still think long term Elvis has much higher upside. Elvis was great last year but Korps was terrible.

But CLB is smart to trade Korps now because his value will never be higher.

 

[JoeSakic13]

Yeah no f***ing kidding.

You gotta help but think that including Quick wasn’t the deciding factor in this deal getting approved.

Unless Kekäläinen is a sociopath.

 

[BringTheReign]

This f***ing sucks.

 

[The don godfather]

That's bad real bad . Quick should not be treated this way. Very low of the organization to do this .

 

[ImJustJokinen]

Isn't he a cap dump at this point? Does he even have any value besides sentimental value? If they didn't have to pay CBJ to take him that's a win.

 

[Bleedred]

Quick obviously had to okay this or possibly even asked for this. Doesn’t he have a NTC or NMC?

This sounds like Brodeur (who wasn’t traded) at the end of his career. Didn’t like the fact that he was being phased out of “His” team, so he was okay with going somewhere else, even if he had to take the back seat there. He wasn’t gonna allow himself to take the backseat on his team though.

Honestly, good riddance. If you’re a Kings fan, it’s gotta suck to see him go, but he’s one of the worst players in the entire NHL anymore, let alone worst goalie.

He just overcommits on everything, throws himself out of position leaving empty nets all over the place. Always has to be on his back or belly.

He’s toast. You’d have to think a lot of these shots hit another goalie, even though he makes it look like he has no chance on most of them.

 

[FSL KINGS]

Are either the Kings or Korpisalo really good enough for them to need to be doing all this?

Can't ride Pheonix 20 games

 

[go4hockey]

Nah this ain't it.

Two rentals when Quick was gonna retire a King in a month? Not cool.

Agree. To me a very classless move.

 

[Mr Kot]

Possibility he retires on the spot?

 

[Mobiandi]

I wouldn't even report to Columbus lol

I don’t see what’s so bad here? Are kings fans worried neither sign back?

Kings get a solid middle pairer, and their fans complained about goaltending and they acquired a guy who’s above average on a god awful team

If they can sign either guys then this should be an ok deal.

 

[Eggtimer]

Wait until Columbus wins the Bedard sweepstakes and makes the Metro even stupider lol

Jackets are better / will be better than people give them credit for.They have a ton of good prospects coming. Yes they are dogshit this year, but in a couple yewrs they will be a playoff team

He didn't have a NMC. Very surprised they're doing this, he was a month before retirement. Bet he just calls it now.

Both are actually great.

 

[LAKings88]

Man, bad taste. Quick was rough this year but I don’t think any Kings fan thought this would go down.

 

[Canucks LB]

Not surprised at all about the reports, you just absolutely killed the chemistry of the room.

Absolutely f***ed up

For real? I would have really thought he had something on that deal.

I know the contract must be about 10 years old now.

Complete opposite. Brodeur wanted to keep going and left on his own.

Quick clearly wanted no part of this
