Great video. Could have Blake handled the Quick trade much better. Yes. But it would have limited the return. Say Blake gave Quick the opportunity to pick which team he would go too. That Team knowing that, would not have offer Blake much in return. Quick is one of many players that has done for the Kings what many others were not able to do and that is helped this team greatly win Two Cups and Kings fans will be forever grateful to him and will always think very highly of Quick. That is fact! Until another goaltender accomplishes what Quick has done for the Kings, he will always be seen as the greatest goaltender the Kings ever have had. But the reality is, there isn't a right way to trade a beloved player such as Quick. Kings fans no matter what would be pissed just hearing the words trade Quick. Fans that stated that Quick should be traded were mocked for saying that here on this site in the past. But this is the reality of the sport. When the Oilers traded the Great One, Gretzky to L.A no one ever thought that he would be traded, were Oiler fans pissed off. You bet they were. But at the end of the day, The GM has to do what is best for the organization in the present and near future. The Gretzky trade proved that no matter how great a player is at some point of their career they become expendable. That is fact and reality. If this trade helps the Kings go deep into the playoffs and who knows with some luck maybe win the Cup. It will go down as a great trade for the Kings. The reality is is this trade strengthened two weakness the kings had at left defense and in net. They couldn't go into the playoffs with just Copely because even as a back up Quick was not getting it done. And I don't say this disrespecfully but as a fact.
