Golden Knights Trading for G Jonathan Quick NHL Trade Talk.
According to TSN’s Darren Dreger, the Vegas Golden Knights are closing in on a deal to acquire veteran netminder Jonathan Quick. Quick was traded by the Los Angeles Kings to the Columbus Blue Jackets in a deal that allowed the Kings to land defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov and goaltender Jonnas Korpisalo, but Quick was unhappy about the deal. It was then believed the Blue Jackets were going to look to flip Quick to a playoff contender.
Daily Faceoff’s Frank Seravalli and Aaron Portzline of The Athletic (who covers the Blue Jackets) also confirmed the trade news.
When the deal to move Quick to Columbus was finalized, reports were he was extremely unhappy. Whether that was because of a move to a non-playoff team or because he was leaving the Kings after almost completing a 10-year contract wasn’t clear. It was likely the latter.
More to come.
