NHL Breakers further confirmed this on Instagram, stating:
"Jonathan Quick will sign with the Rangers once free agency officially opens, per Kevin Weekes & Elliotte Friedman. The Rangers were Quick's childhood team."
Quick's Swift Exit from Vegas
Quick's departure from the Golden Knights comes as a swift one. He had joined the team during the most recent trade deadline, but now he's already set his sights on a new destination: his childhood team, the New York Rangers. Quick has officially announced that he's inked a deal with the Rangers.
The team is expected to confirm this officially when the market swings open tomorrow.
