Used to watch Quick play for UMass. He was always fun. Guess he is getting old and they kicked him to the curb. From the sounds of it, the Kings' players don't like him being gone.

I don't post in here often, but Jonathan Quick's trade seemed a little rough to me. The Kings got something for him in his last contract year.

He hasn't been good good in a few years, he had a nice bounce back last year and cratered this year.

Tough spot for the team, he's been there since he was 22.

Not sure CBJ holds on to him at this point as they are already saying they'll do the right thing for him.

But dumping him for a first and third is a tough one. Gavrikov and Korpisalo maybe help them secure a playoff spot, but both are FA as well.

Quick did not want to go rot in Columbus in perhaps his final year, rightfully so. Probably didn't want to leave LA at all, but the Kings made a cold move there.

Kings - Knights in the playoffs with Quick needing to sub in would be a great storyline
