Barring anything unforeseen, I think it's highly likely that CT Born G and UFA Jonathan Quick signs w his childhood fave team ; @NYRangers @espn @NHL @NHLNetwork @TSNHockey @DKSportsbook #HockeyTwitter" Weekes said.
Quick, 37, was dealt to Columbus by Los Angeles in March after parts of 16 seasons with the Kings. Reports suggested that Quick was not interested in playing for the Blue Jackets and one day after acquiring him, he was flipped to the Vegas Golden Knights.
The Milford, Connecticut native appeared in 41 games between Los Angeles and Vegas this past season where he had a record of 16-15-6 with two shutouts. Quick added his name to the Stanley Cup for the third time earlier this month as Vegas won for the first time in franchise history.
