Quick is on the Kings' protected list, John Hoven of Sirius XM reports.

EDGE Analysis

This was to be expected as Quick is the only goaltender on the Kings' roster with serious NHL experience, now that Ben Bishop is off to Dallas. The 31-year-old will be the centerpiece of Los Angeles if they they want to play playoff hockey again next season. Quick posted a .917 save percentage coupled with a 2.26 GAA in an injury-plagued 17-game season.
