Jonathan Quick

The game — in which Sidney Crosby scored the golden goal for Canada — was 13 years ago Tuesday. The Russian had a spike in offence to 33 points last season, but that is not the primary strength of his game, nor what he was acquired to add. Quick, who won two Stanley Cups with the Kings in 2012 and 2014, is in the final year of his contract and carries a $5.8-million cap hit. The native of Pori, Finland, is 10-11-3 with 3.06 goals-against average and .914 save percentage this season. Gavrikov led Columbus in shorthanded ice time per game, isn't afraid to block shots and tends to do well getting in the right lanes. His 16-year career with the Kings included two Jennings trophies and the Conn Smythe trophy in 2012, as well as two seasons where he was a finalist for the Vezina.

At the time, Copley was the Kings' starting goaltender, and he'd performed well enough in the most extensive NHL run of his career. His save percentage would ...

With the Blue Jackets looking to get whatever future assets they can, it will be interesting to see if they are successful in their quest to move Quick for a second time before the deadline.

Obviously the scenarios are a little different considering the Kings are currently sitting in 2nd place in the Pacific Division. They're gearing up for a playoff run while the Blackhawks are just praying the pingpong balls work in their favor again in the draft lottery. In 2014 he allowed the fewest goals against in the NHL while leading the Kings to their 2nd Cup. That was a trade done out of the mercy of Chicago's heart.

He is 27 years old and had a 3.17 GA/A and .913 SV% in 26 games for Columbus. Copley has posted a 2.82 GA/A and .899 SV% in 27 contests.

Quick was traded in a deal for Blue Jackets defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov and goalie Joonas Korpisalo.

He's not caught up in the past; his focus is on the future. But Blake is showing that he is all-in on the team this year and wants to do everything in his power to build the most well-rounded club. Ultimately, it was determined that the best financial move for Los Angeles was to send Quick in the deal. It's one thing if a player isn't holding up his end of a bargain on a contract, but Quick is the 10th-highest-paid goaltender in the league this year based on cap hits. Was it the "right" way to address the team's needs? However, Quick's days of dominance are far in the rearview. The Kings need stability in net with their eyes on the postseason. Quick has been one of the worst goalies in the NHL this year. But that doesn't deny the awful aftertaste in everyone's mouth seeing a franchise legend moved in cold fashion in the final year of his contract. As soon as Copley begins to slip, coach Todd MacLellan can turn the reins over to Korpisalo, who played in nine postseason games during the 2020 playoffs for Columbus. [Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravalli](https://twitter.com/frank_seravalli/status/1630804420421201922) reported that saying Quick was unhappy with the news would be an "understatement." GM Rob Blake shipped out the two-time Stanley Cup champion and 2012 Conn Smythe winner, who was an integral part of the Kings' dynasty nearly a decade ago.

Through 31 appearances this season, Quick has a save percentage of just .876, easily the worst of his career. The uber-athletic goaltender has seemed a step ...

Those may not sound like earth-shattering numbers, but on a Columbus team that is one of the worst in the league, they are encouraging. The big, rangy defenseman can contribute in many ways, and could find even more success playing on a Kings blueline that can give him more support. At the very least they come away from another deadline with a first-round pick. With the Blue Jackets, he was likely asked to do too much, playing more than 22 minutes a night as their most reliable option, once Add in an Olympic silver medal and two Jennings trophies, and it was a pretty productive career for the 2005 third-round pick. In his last appearance as a King, he allowed three goals on seven shots before being pulled less than halfway through the game.

The move must be bittersweet for Kings fans, who have cheered on Quick for more than a decade. If the Kings qualify for the playoffs this year, they will give Columbus a first-round pick.

We break down the surprising Jonathan Quick trade between the Los Angeles Kings and Columbus Blue Jackets on Wednesday morning.

The Blue Jackets have the fewest points in the NHL, and are 23 points back of a playoff spot in the stacked Eastern Conference. Instead, the Kings traded him to the worst team in the league in the middle of the night with virtually no fanfare. “Blue Jackets will try to quickly explore the market before Friday’s deadline to see if there’s interest on a playoff team for pending UFA Jonathan Quick. According to TSN’s Chris Johnston, the Blue Jackets were looking for first, third, and fourth-round picks for the blue-liner. To be blunt, Columbus is not making the playoffs this season. [try to make it happen](https://clutchpoints.com/blue-jackets-news-columbus-plan-jonathan-quick-trade-kings-revealed). Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff reported that the entire team was “a bit down” after learning of the trade. However, he is likely in the middle of his final NHL season and has done more than enough to deserve retiring with the team. But Los Angeles trading away the goalie who won two Stanley Cups and a Conn Smythe Trophy on his way to becoming a franchise icon? Gavrikov is a solid defenseman, and he should help a team that ranks 28th in shots against per game and 24th in penalty kill percentage. Yes, Quick is having a bad season with an .876 save percentage and a 3.5 goals against average. He was one of the pillars of the early 2010s teams that won two Stanley Cups, along with Anze Kopitar, Drew Doughty, and Dustin Brown.

The Kings sent Quick to the Columbus Blue Jackets for goalie Joonas Korpisalo and defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov. He won the Conn Smythe trophy in 2012 and was a finalist for the Vezina Trophy twice. "Jonathan Quick is a two-time Stanley Cup winner who has been an outstanding goaltender in our league for a long time and this deal provides us with draft capital that will be valuable as we move forward as an organization," Blue Jackets General Manager Jarmo Kekalainen told Sportsnet. Quick was the goaltender for the Kings during their Stanley Cup championship seasons in 2012 and 2014. Quick was the backup to Pheonix Copley against the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday night. Quick, one of the winningest American-born goalies in NHL history has been a franchise player for more than a decade.

Rob Blake did his job. A shutdown defenseman? Check. A goalie who will provide insurance and possibly an upgrade? Done. But at what cost?

[New York](https://theathletic.com/nhl/team/rangers/) Islanders but the three goals he allowed on seven shots to the New York Rangers on Sunday only emphasized that the 37-year-old couldn’t be counted on to make enough saves if he had to be called upon. With [Anze Kopitar](https://theathletic.com/nhl/player/anze-kopitar-lktbxSmiaw1BPFhc/) and [Drew Doughty](https://theathletic.com/nhl/player/drew-doughty-Z8rfsF7LvLfLOc9E/), he won two Stanley Cups and then got through a painful but necessary rebuild. [Jonathan Bernier](https://theathletic.com/nhl/player/jonathan-bernier-TGC2gJL5PMr74TK2/) in the earlier days to Petersen as recently as last year’s nice comeback season. Blake knew that Quick’s contract, the huge 10-year deal he signed after winning the Conn Smythe Trophy in 2012, didn’t have a no-trade clause in it. Except, will that message be understood by a group of Kings players who rode the highs and lows with Quick, whom the franchise leaned on for the majority of 15 seasons? Can you imagine how those two felt, along with the rest of the Kings, when Quick rode back on the team charter Tuesday night after the news broke? Merely looking at it that way should send a message to the Kings dressing room that their GM followed through with his mission to add to a team that pulled into a tie with idle In a deal expected to be announced Wednesday morning, Blake decided to cut ties with the goalie who defined a championship era, a level that the franchise never knew and hasn’t been able to duplicate since that night [Alec Martinez](https://theathletic.com/nhl/player/alec-martinez-4pRAlYq43RPXWBcA/) leaped into the air after his double-overtime 2014 Stanley Cup clincher. Cal Petersen failed to grab the net and ended up in the AHL, Quick couldn’t run with the No. The 28-year-old Finn has done a credible job for the struggling, injury-plagued Blue Jackets, going 11-11-3 in 28 games with a .911 save percentage, which is the most impressive of his numbers. Quick lost the net to Pheonix Copley in December and never found his footing in his 16th season. And with that, Blake filled two needs by getting Korpisalo and a defenseman in Gavrikov.

But a Kings organization that had struggled to develop goaltenders for much of its history seemed to stake its future on another youngster, Jonathan Bernier, ...

and had to inform Quick of the trade by phone after the game, and then had phone conversations with key players, including Kopitar and Doughty. That remains to be seen, and there’s still the possibility of more moves before Friday’s trade deadline. Jennings Trophies, given to goaltenders who played at least 25 games for the team allowing the fewest regular-season goals, in 2013-14 (when he played 72 of 82 games) and 2017-18 (when he played 64 of 82). If you attend, and if Quick is still a Blue Jacket and hasn’t been flipped to another team, I’m guessing you’ll know how to show your appreciation. This season, the 37-year-old Quick has a career-worst .876 save percentage, but instead of Petersen – demoted to AHL Ontario because of his own inconsistent play – journeyman Pheonix Copley has started 26 of the Kings’ 35 games since his recall from Ontario on Dec. And while no one game is ever the difference, maybe the four goals Quick allowed in seven shots against the Rangers on Sunday in Madison Square Garden was a tipping point. the players you mentioned are going to go down as the best players at those positions on this team ever, and very deservedly so.” Beyond the numbers, Quick was stubbornly, ferociously competitive, setting an example for his teammates and performing his best when the lights were brightest. “And he’s taken this (team), with a handful of players, to the highest level two different times. Quick was in the top five of Vezina Trophy voting by the league’s general managers three times and was second in 2012 (to the Rangers’ Henrik Lundqvist), fifth in 2014 (to Boston’s Tukka Rask) and third in 2016 (to Washington’s Braden Holtby). for a brief cameo in the 2009-10 season, Quick was the full-time starter. But a Kings organization that had struggled to develop goaltenders for much of its history seemed to stake its future on another youngster, Jonathan Bernier, the 11th player picked overall in the 2006 draft.

Quick was previously acquired by the Blue Jackets in the Vladislav Gavrikov trade to the Kings.

While Quick isn't what he once was, the Golden Knights have a better defense than the Kings do, and the club could see improvement in Quick's numbers. The goaltender's contract has a cap hit of $5.8 million this year. There's no denying Quick isn't the goalie he once was. His 3.50 GAA is the worst mark of his career, as his .876 save percentage. Laurent Broissoit has only played three games, leaving Adin Hill, who was acquired midseason, currently as the team's starter. Rookie Logan Thompson hasn't skated since his leg injury in early February.

Jonathan Quick has been traded for the second time in two days, this time from the Columbus Blue Jackets to the Las Vegas Golden Knights.

After he was shockingly dealt from the Los Angeles Kings to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Wednesday, he was flipped to the Las Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday, according to The Athletic’s Aaron Portzline. He won two Stanley Cups with the Los Angeles Kings, in 2012 and 2014, and has been the team’s starting goalie for the better part of his career. It’s certainly an opportunity for Quick to land the starting role in Las Vegas, at least in the short term, for a team that is battling for the top spot in the Pacific Division.
