‘It never gets easier,’ captain Anze Kopitar says of the trade of his longtime teammate to Columbus, which has now flipped the goaltender to Vegas
EL SEGUNDO — Jonathan Quick has been traded. Again.The Kingsas part of a package that netted Vladislav Gavrikov and Joonas Korpisalo. That deal was finalized Wednesday.
The Kings and Golden Knights will face off one more time this season on April 6 in Vegas. The deal has echoes of when the Kings dealt Martin Jones to Boston, only to see him flipped inside the division to San Jose. While Jones was entering his prime and Quick was winding down his career, this situation seemed even more bizarre given Quick’s longstanding association with the Kings.
McLellan also pointed out that the Kings and their longest-tenured players, captain Anze Kopitar and top defenseman Drew Doughty, had been through numerous transitions on the ice, behind the bench and in the front office.
