Confirmed with Link: Kings have traded Jonathan Quick to #CBJ as part of a deal that will send back Joonas Korpisalo.

This is why im not buying this reporting until a local kings reporters confirms it.

Those two tweets dont jive together

Strange look, right after the feel goods of Brown's big night.

Quick just can't go anymore. Surprised CBJ would take him in return to be honest.

It is going to be very interesting to see if this has any temporary lull on the team. Can't afford to give up many points in this run in.

That being said, Korpisalo is an improvement, and Gavrikov is sturdier than the other defensemen. He can absorb the physicality that the boys tonight struggled with all night.

Of course, giving up two firsts in a row without having even a round won under your belts is strictly amateur hour.

Hey guys guess which one is Petersen and which one is Korpisalo? These are their lifetime numbers.

Here are their last two seasons:

My heart breaks for Quick. This is not how I wanted him to leave this org. What. The. f***.

Blake is an idiot for trading Quick. And Blake also traded for the softest Stay at home dmen on the market and gave up 1st rounder who is only signed for two months and a goalie who last season had a gaa of over 4 goals per game. wtf

 

[DAkings20]

Where’s Rich Hammond when ya need him

 

[BringTheReign]

I’m honestly speechless.

I think I’m gonna wear my Quick jersey to work tomorrow. What the f***.

 

[Schrute farms]

I’m actually more pissed about trading the 1st.

 

[AbsentMojo]

Gavrikov/Roy and what Walker and Durzi for the dream 3rd pair?

 

[KingsHockey24]

I’m actually more pissed about trading the 1st.

f*** the pick man it's not like we draft well anyways.

Rob Blake doing Quicky so dirty.

I hope the next game at Staples we hear non stop booo's.

 

[Little Psycho]

I’m actually more pissed about trading the 1st.

I’m not. Kings were gonna f*** him up anyway.

 

[Axl Rhoadz]

F this! What a disgrace Blake is. He never should have been welcomed back in the organization with the crap he pulled in 2000/2001.

The bum who ripped off his C and demanded a trade because he was offered $8m instead of $8.5m is allowed back in the fold to trade the player most responsible for the team ending its championship drought, and to the worst team in the league with 20 games left in his career.

This is so disrespectful and pathetic. I can't wait until Blake and Robitaille are gone.

lol, dramatics cranked to 10.

 

[bland]

For the thousandth time, longterm contracts are the devil.

Is it really for the 2023 first? I thought he said they weren't going to move it, especially for the ARZ deal. That was a big sticking point from what i've read.

 

[Fishhead]

Look towards the future? They traded their first round pick.

Yes, the immediate future beyond the core. Not particularly 4 years from now. The team is done rebuilding by all accounts.

 

[unicornpig]

Can't believe there's so many ppl crying about this trade, I'm sure appreciates everyone's sentiment and his 50 mill in the bank

 

[kingsfan28]

If you're taking a risky trade for a goalie, you trade for Demko.

So Blake will extend him for 5 years at $5 million per and he'll go back to being shit. Then we'll have $10m in goalies in the ahl.

 

[johnjm22]

A 1st round pick for a couple of mediocre pending UFA's is already a bad move.

Insulting a franchise hero at the same time just makes it worse.

I understand this is a business, and I understand the Kings were in a tough spot, but this is not a move I would have made.

 

[kingsboy11]

Wow just wow. Can't say I would've ever seen this coming. And if its true that Quick that didn't see this coming, then I think its a little bit messed up considering he did that for Carter.

This seems really short sighted for Blake and doesn't seem like him. A 1st and Quick for Gavrikov and Korpisalo? I mean Gavrikov is certainly an upgrade over what we have, Korpisalo is arguably better than Copley. But not having an extension in place for Gavrikov makes me nervous that its Sekera 2.0.

I think my biggest concern is what this will do to the room. Kopi and Drew and the rest of the guys can't be happy with this.

 

[BringTheReign]

Korpisalo is between 8-10 goals saved above expected by public models. It’s Gavrikov I’m most worried about.

The level of difference this deal makes could’ve waited until the summer. This just isn’t worth Quick moving 20 games before retirement.
