Jonathan Quick has been rolling waves on the ice since his arrival from the Los Angeles Kings. The efficient Vegas Golden Knights goaltender was chosen by the Kings in the third round of the 2005 National Hockey League with the 72nd overall pick.
Quick was traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets in March, 2023. The Blue Jackets received a conditional first-round pick in the 2023 NHL draft and a third-round pick in the 2024 draft as part of the deal for Quick. Vladislav Gavrikov and Joonas Korpisalo were sent to the Los Angeles Kings in return by the Columbus Blue Jackets.
The next day, though, an unexpected development saw the Blue Jackets quickly trade Quick to the Vegas Golden Knights for goaltender Michael Hutchinson and a seventh-round draft pick in the 2025 NHL draft.
