Quick talks to the medias for the first time since being traded
Quick expressed his mixed emotions about the trade.
«There's a ton of emotions, obviously, considering how much time my family and I spent there...At the end of the day, they made the decision that was best for their team. It's still a shock when you get the call. You have so many things going through your mind.»
He continued by saying that the move presents a new opportunity and a fresh start for him.
«It's genuine excitement...I hope to be able to help them any way I can.»
He is familiar with several people within the Golden Knights organization, making his transition to Sin City smoother.
«They've been very welcoming. It definitely helps to see some familiar faces � Marty (Martinez), Nabber (McNabb), Hutty (Ben Hutton), Ammo (Michael Amadio) and (coach) John Stevens. I just want to fit in and help these guys as much as I can.» To see the full interview:
