Serious question: if Quick led the Knights to eliminate us or god
Forbid a cup - is Blake fired? Unlikely I know but wondering.

The Knights were screwed in net with Thompson and Broissoit hurt. They needed a NHL vet, even if it was one having a bottom-3 season.
They will want to have a veteran when the playoffs start. They hope he can become "old school' JQ32. He wasn't that goalie for us this year.
And this bull I see about how the Kings play D in front of him. The Kings statistically limit and block shots better than the majority of the NHL.
Quick was always an explosive and agile goalie. It was always said when he got older his game would fall off because he wasn't a great positional goalie.

I don't understand the continued "the way he found out about the trade" stuff. Rob Blake called him direct to let him know...and no Blake probably could not have waited a few hours, otherwise it would have gotten out on the internet and JQ would have found out through the media...or you think Blake should have waited to pull the trigger on the trade until the next day? If that is the case then deal making is not part of your daily routine, deals are presented at that time, you wait and due to any circumstance, terms of a deal can change.
Imagine Chychrun's trade went through or Boston (who was after Gavrikov) made cap space...then the deal falls apart and you get neither of those players. Either or more of those scenarios occurs and trade falls apart, and Blake is scrambling to find another deal to make. Blake had his target's got his price and package and pulled the trigger when it was available to him. Way too many things could have happened over the next 12-18 hours that could have blown the trade up and left us holding the bag with 0 improvement for a roster that needed and got upgrades in 2 specific areas. Blake did nothing wrong.
Its possible that a situation sucks that was gone though where no one did anything wrong even though it sucks. If you want to blame anyone, blame father time, it's not the Kings D, and sure as heck is not Blake. Maybe JQ and Cal have a part in this as well, but it's also the dynamics of a business the players understand and are compensated well for.
JQ is still a King, nothing will change that, I dont care what sweater he is wearing!
Backing up. I’m watching the pregame now. They’re showing lots of the quick interview stuff and man, it’s difficult. I can hear his voice cracking, answering these questions. I think the emotions are extremely raw for him. Rough…

Quick will be the starter for the Knights game on Sunday.
