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

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.

When you have a .878 sv% you don't really have the grounds to complain...

Are the Kings winning the Cup? Even close? No imo. Don't really get banishing him to Ohio. He didn't have an NTC so they could do it, I'm just surprised by it. He's godawful but like he had 5 games left in his career lol.

I wonder if Quick told Blake he didn’t intend to retire at the end of the year when his contract runs out. He’s competitive to a fault. Maybe Blake knew he’d be in another jersey next year regardless. At least that’s the only way I could justify this bomb thrown into team chemistry.

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

If Seravalli ain’t lying, Quick certainly didn’t appreciate the trade

Lets wait to hear that confirmed by the local kings media. And the fact we did not hear anything about the locker room after the game has me doubtful (especially after how the kings won)

The media would have easily been able to see the locker room being “off”

2023 1st, Quick for Korpisalo and Gavrikov

Terrible deal for Kings

 

[tny760]

i can understand it, if it's coming from a place of "we can't get gavrikov without korpisalo as well" and quick coming back is a secondary condition of that.. but this looks really, really despicable if it's purely for a month or two of gavrikov

 

[Canucks LB]

I understand the whole “ it’s a business” but trading a franchise legend two months before he retires, is absolutely a disgrace, I hope the kings media goes off.

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

Brodeur wanted to come here. We gave him a front office gig afterwords to train him for his current role with the Devils. And he got a ton of Enterprise Rent a Car commercials (Big shareholders in Enterprise are part of Blues ownership group).

Quick on the other hand was shipped out without his say so.

I mean Seravalli is a pretty credible source.

Also….why wouldn’t they be upset?

 

[Little Psycho]

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.

Are we really surprised? This is Rob Blake, the guy who ripped off the C and jetted to Colorado

 

[periferal]

Columbus was forced to trade for Laine because of one asshole player, and Gaudreau is an elite player.

Jarmo made the most out of both situations

Man…Don’t some (abused) fans just bend over backwards to defend their inept ownership or management?

“Look how good Jarmo is…He got us Bedard!”

Kings gave up a 2023 1st too lmao

Strangely, the 1st round pick is the least surprising thing about this trade.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Honestly value wise it’s not bad. Just a bad look moving Quick.

That was the first post I saw after mine.

This could backfire, the Kings aren’t exactly a mentally strong unit, those Cup core dudes have run the show on and off ice for a loooooong time.

Straight from the 10 year anniversary to Brown's party to giving Quick the ol' heave ho

Wait, what?

Does this mean Chychrun has been passed over YET again!?

 

[periferal]

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

Blake has to have lost some respect from some Kings players tonight.
