Kings are going to look close to this in 2 years:
Lafreniere/Kaliyev Kopitar Brown
Carter Turcotte Vilardi
Kempe Anderson-Dolan Grundstrom
Clifford Lizotte/Amadio Wagner
Bjornfot Doughty
(Open) Walker
Clague Martinez
Petersen
Quick/Campbell
Kings won't get much for Carter and might as well keep him to help guide the younger players with Brown, Kopi, Dewy, and Martinez.
I don't think Kings will get much for Martinez either and since he is a fan favorite, might as well keep him too.
Kovi and Toffoli will go. If players like Kaliyev, Turcotte, Vilardi, JAD, and Clague pan out the way we all think they will
then this is going to be a very short 'RELOAD' and at that point it would make more sense to go for roster players like
Krug, Petro, Sergachev, ect to fill that top 4 dman spot that we currently don't have any prospects expected to go there anytime soon.
I feel like Clague will take a long time to develop into a top 4 defenseman. He still as a lot of work ahead of him defensively.
Kings won't be trading away their top 100 picks for the next 5 years and will continue to get good prospects that way.
