All the trades are bad for the Kings.

Kings don't want OEL, especially if it costs Kaliyev.

I think the Kings just need to sign another free agent top-6 winger and they can make a run with how weak the division is.

How much better our team -- and I emphasize TEAM -- would be without all three of those trades.

In particular, six years of Ekman-Larsson playing at his current level at that cap hit would really be a millstone around our necks.

Rangers aren't in a hurry to get rid of George.

Eichel to LA makes 0 sense. Why give up on the potential of a 1-2 of Turcotte and Byfield when Kopi regresses. In the meantime put Turcotte on the wing and I think Rienhart is the perfect fit for the right price.
