Thread: (LAK/CBJ) - 1st, Quick for Gavrikov, Korpisalo
Objectively? Fair deal.

LAK get an <a href="https://cdn.theathletic.com/app/uploads/2023/01/27113602/Screenshot-2023-02-27-at-11.05.34-AM.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">upgrade</a> in <a href="https://cdn.theathletic.com/app/uploads/2023/01/27110801/Screenshot-2023-02-27-at-10.09.27-AM.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">net,</a> and some <a href="https://twitter.com/JFreshHockey/status/1630802643101573122?cxt=HHwWhICzjaKX46EtAAAA" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">solid</a> D depth for the playoffs helps as well, not to mention they get first dibs at negotiations if things work out. In a wide-open Western Conference, this was the move to make.

CBJ still end up with their (conditional) 1st, 3rd, save $3M (pro-rated) in actual cash, don't have to retain, and get a veteran G to finish out the season and let Tarasov stay in the AHL for a little while longer. Some word going around CBJ may flip him somewhere for an asset if he pulls a Fleury which, if true, great. If not, still works.

Subjectively? Yeah man, Quick was kind of done dirty. Understand why <a href="https://twitter.com/JFreshHockey/status/1630806412321325056?cxt=HHwWgIC8_dTy5KEtAAAA" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">he was upset.</a>
