NHL star 'unhappy' with trade as LA Kings deny franchise legend proper send off

Los Angeles Kings legend Jonathon Quick has been traded in a stunning move in the National Hockey League, despite nearing retirement with the franchise.

Quick was drafted by the Kings all the way back in 2005, and has remained with the franchise ever since while winning two Stanley Cup's along the way. But despite being in the final year of a 10-year contract with the Kings, he's been traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets.

The trade sees goaltender Joonas Korpisalo and defenceman Vladislav Gavrikov move to the Kings in exchange for Quick and a first-round draft pick. Quick is reportedly extremely unhappy with the move, as he was tipped to retire at the Kings, as a one-team man.
