Earlier this afternoon the news broke that goaltender Jonathan Quick has been traded again. As he was tossed out like garbage by the Los Angeles Kings ahead of the NHL's trade deadline.
Quick was understandably upset and Frank Seravalli would reveal:
"Jonathan Quick is not happy to say the least."

Thankfully for Quick the Columbus Blue Jackets would trade Quick knowing he wasn't happy in Columbus to the Vegas Golden Knights.
Sportsnet's Hockey Insider Chris Johnston would reveal the return:
The�#CBJ �are retaining 50% of Jonathan Quick's salary/cap hit in the trade with Vegas.�they get Michael Hutchison and a 2025 seventh-rounder back in return
This was a good move, the Golden Knights who now have insurance in goal and a loss for the Blue Jackets, but they just gained a lot of respect by the hockey world for making a player happy after a bad situation.
