Blake has come out and publicly stated that offense will no longer take a back seat to defense. The Kings are already pretty solid at LHD. They're not going to give up a quality forward for a defenseman.
Turcotte, Vilardi, Kaliyev, and Fagemo are untouchable. They're not going anywhere unless there's a huge return coming back. Anderson-Dolan is their only NHL-ready forward prospect, and he's expected to make the team this season, so he's not likely to go anywhere either. That leaves Kupari, Madden, and Thomas as possible trade options. However, 1-for-1 Samuelsson won't get you any of those players.
