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

[The don godfather]

Thanks for the cups and dumped to ohio. Are you kidding me ? This is gonna backfire and I hope it does even Chicago treated kane with class and gave him want he wanted. Terrible and I have lost my respect for the kings organization.

 

[Seattle King]

I wouldn't even report to Columbus lol

This actually might be the outcome and both sides are fine with it (Quick side not included)

How to ruin your locker room chemistry (SPEED RUN) (GONE WRONG)

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

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.

I think they're upset they traded a legend who was going to retire in April and a good locker room guy for an improvement in backup goalie lol.

 

[Little Psycho]

I’m loss for words, even though he sucked I thought he retire a king.

Kings love making deals with lumbus during trade deadline…2012 Carter, 2014 Gaborik.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Not a classy move by LA management treating their future HOF goalie, the man who got them 2 cups in his tenure, and you reward him by shipping him to a basement team who is tanking for Bedard? Ouch.

 

[Cape]

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.

Korpisalo was injured like two seasons.

Kings just traded the best goalie in franchise history with two months left on his contract as he was about to retire. This Kings roster isn't winning the cup, even with Korpisalo and Gavrikov. Unless we're going all in and making more moves, which I suppose is possible since at this point nothing is sacred.

I have a feeling this is going to crush the already-soft team's morale. I would've rather attached another couple firsts to move Petersen at that point.

 

[bland]

Hard to believe that Blake would be doing this without Quick agreeing

 

[Conbon]

I'm all for keeping your legends around but it the salary cap era things like this have to happen. Not to mention Quick is the worst goalie in the league and below ECHL quality at this point.

Strange

Ah quick was gonna retire after this year? Ok then it seems kinda weird., especially since reading this thread, it seemed he didn’t want to be traded at all

Copley and Korpisalo isn’t a terrible combo to run going into the playoffs

 

[Recipe Unlimited]

I mean you're having the worst season I've ever seen of a starting goalie in the NHL. If he wasn't ready to play this year he should have retired in the off season, and given LA the cap flexibility to have a better goaltending situation.

 

[JoeSakic13]

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.

Lol big ol’ yikes on this one.

Too much to pick apart on this statement and I know it would fall on deaf ears because of the aforementioned statement.

People wanted Kane, Quick is negative replacement level, cap dump.

 

[eojsmada]

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

That and Werenski being back for next season should give them more talent.

 

[belair]

Imagine if Korpisalo sucks.

Not only that, but Petersen's contract is still a problem on top of this disaster.

And Quick as recently as 10 months ago was still a killer in the playoffs

 

[Steve Zissou]

Oh, Quick is involved you say...?

 

[Linkens Mastery]

This really bothers me. One month until retirement?

Yea on second thought, it doesn’t look as great. This seems one of those move where even though a team gets better on paper, they get a bit worse maybe due to morale and chemistry. I thought quick was fine with this deal assuming he had like an NMC or NTC, but it seems not. I could see the locker room not liking this.

 

[SettlementRichie10]

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

Rob Blake has never and will never have a plan. Half the Kings fanbase has confused his entire paralytic nothingburger tenure as GM for masterful 4D chess. It’s not. He sucks. It’s just hard to tell because he’s under zero pressure from the LA media to ever answer for himself.

 

[Paddy17]

Blake asked Bergevin about loyalty and all that with Quick.
Bergevin told Blake to get a dog if he wants loyalty.
And thus...

 

[SI90]

All time franchise players being moved wow

Well I still see Korpisalo as nothing more than Mikko Koskinen 2.0
