Confirmed Trade: [VGK/CBJ] Jonathan Quick (50% retained) for Michael Hutchinson, 2025 7th round pick

I hope they do, the chances of the Kings winning the division would go up exponentially.

2nd in the division would be fine right now. Let Vegas duke it out with EDM or the WPG in the 1st round.

50/50 timeshare with Hill, or is he clearly the backup now? Logan must not be happy about this move.

I wouldn't say exponentially better. Has he been better? Yes, but he hasn't been a world beater either. There are some of his performances that leave me scratching my head wondering how the Kings came out with a win.

Quick wasn't that bad at the start of the year and actually had a .895 sv% or better in like 9 of 16 games, but since November 28th he had a sv%below .890 in 13 of 15 games he played(one of the 2 others was just 1 period of relief facing 7 shots) below .880 in 9 of them and .870 in 7 of them and phoenix copley was exceptionally better during this time.

Quick was mediocre to start year then just basically fell off a cliff at the we end ofnnovember

So far Vegas is winning the deadline deals. Barbashev has been a difference maker and Quick has almost a .940 Sv %, 3-0 with 1 shutout.

Cassidy’s system always makes goaltenders look good. His teams force everything outside more than any other coach right now. Much easier saves.

Take nothing away from Quick though. He’s been as solid as it gets.

I'm just glad that now that Quick is out of LA, people will finally treat him like the KING that he was

watch all these articles now say stuff like, "Is Quick the Best goalie of our generation?" asks THN and so on..

good

Trading Quick worked out great for the Kings and Vegas. I really hope both meet in the playoffs.

Quick looks happy to be in Vegas and not in the dump Columbus.

Someone should console Michael Hutchinson.

He probably broke his TV watching Quick lift the cup again.

As a Kings fan, it was so sweet to see Martinez pass the cup to Quick. Even sweeter to see Quick lift the cup after being so traded so disrespectfully by LA/Blake. It was the right move on paper for the Kings, but I’ll always have a bad taste in my mouth how the trade was handled.

Wondering if anyone offers anything for his rights and starts talking to him pre draft?

I've heard a lot of rumors that LA is looking for a goaltender. He could be a good fit.

this knee slapper was already posted somewhere.

Also Blake has not brought back one former Kings and I think it is intentional.

He brought back Cammelleri.

Availing oneself of contractual rights that were bargained for between parties of equal power = disrespectful. Interesting.

i stand corrected.
Maybe that is the only player he brought back.

I think Quick retires. He was really good for us for a few games when there literally was nobody else, but then started to fade. The mind is willing, but the body is unable to go very long without substantial rest.

FWIW, I think he did Broissoit and Hill some good about playoff tending. He'd probably make a great goalie coach if he were so inclined, but also probably doesn't need the bucks.

Quick could possibly need some cleanup from the surgeon, if so he may be able to keep on for a couple seasons with some rest and rehab. Of course, it could also be the end of line. I’d love to see him take over the winningest U.S. goaltender spot, if possible.

Yawn, you’d had to have been there, man.

Quick was abysmal in LA this year, then while not as bad with Vegas, he had slightly below league average stats behind a Vegas defense that made adin hill and brossoit look like vezina contenders. Vegas chose to have a hill that had very little career track record and hadn't played in over a month back up brossoit over quick.

Even 5th/6th strong goalie hiring patera looked better than quick in his 2 games. No reason to give up anything for quick. He is done.
