Assuming you mean after Kopitar is gone, then it's Byfield, Vilardi, Madden, Anderson-Dolan.

Turcotte and Andersson will probably be moved to LW. Kupari and Thomas are likely slated for RW.

However, the Kings also have Fagemo and Kaliyev that will fit in on the right side, so I suspect that Thomas is expendable. One of Kupari or Thomas will likely be traded.

Long-term using only current prospects:

Turcotte-Byfield-Kaliyev
Andersson-Vilardi-Fagemo
Kempe-Madden-Kupari
Grundstrom-JAD-Wagner

Lias Andersson is not a top 6 player. I’d much rather keep Akil Thomas and/or Rasmus Kupari.

The Kings wouldn't have traded a 2nd round pick for him if they didn't think so. He could do well with a change of scenery. If he doesn't work out, then he doesn't work out.

However, neither Kupari nor Thomas are suited for the left side. If Andersson doesn't work out, then the Kings will re-sign Iafallo and keep him long term.

thanks!! wow that's a stacked forward group hah

It's likely that not all of them will work out. Kopitar will be in the mix for another 4+ years, and I suspect Brown will be brought back on a less lucrative contract after his current deal ends. Other spots will probably get filled by trading some prospects or signing free agents.

I’d get those conversations started.

Turcotte - Byfield - RW

Andersson - Vilardi - Kaliyev

Kempe - Kopitar - Brown

Moore - Lizotte - Thomas

Alternates:

Wagner - Madden - Fagemo

Grundstrom - Anderson-Dolan - Kupari
