LA commits an actual hit and run.

Easily looking like a playoff spot contender.

Good trade for LA.

With how many picks the Kings have this is highway robbery

Kings won. NSH was forced to make a move to get some kind of assets in return. They're about to go 8-1 in expansion because they can't let Fabbro go.

Wow, LA gets their top 6 winger. I wonder if they still have another move to make.

Wow, unbelievable deal for LA...especially if he can get back to his previous form.

I really like this trade for LA. Nashville was backed into a corner with their decision to keep Ekholm, but I also don't think Arvidsson has been the same player since those brutal crosschecks by Bortuzzo.

Similar to the Burakovsky to COL trade I think this is a good buy low deal for the Kings

Oof

I think this is a pretty good trade for both sides. Slight edge LA because Arvidsson is a good player on a good contract. Nice for Nashville to pick up #40 this season, too.

If Arvidsson gets back to around 0.75 points per game with LA this is going to be an absolute steal. I think it's pretty fair right now though as an LA 1st (not knowing when they'll be out of the bottom of the league rankings) would have been an overpayment IMO.

911 what's your emergency

Hi, I would like to report a robbery

okay sir who did it

the LA Kings

and who was the victim

Nashville Predators

Potential 30 goal scorer with term and at a good cap hit for a couple of picks where the likelihood they become NHL players is not great.

Highway robbery for the Kings.

Highway robbery here by LA. Arvidsson will be a great offensive top 6 winger to help with talent up front. I'm surprised he only costed a 2nd and a 3rd though. Great work by Rob Blake and the Kings here.

Even at 8-1 they had room to protect Arvidsson. Arvidsson and Forsberg were the ones 100% protected and there were 2 spots left for Duchene/Johansen/Järnkrok/Sissons/Kunin

Nashville could've gotten more for Arvidsson, especially from LA.

Good too 6 guy, especially if he rebounds back to the 30 point goal scorer he was at one point. LA has so much cap space rn and I don’t think dont really have cap issues in the near future afaik even if Arvidson doesn’t improve and becomes overpaid.

Robbery

I think his actions speak for themself. Doubtful he would have been protected.

Rob Blake is quietly becoming a top GM in the league

imagine if he was traded to Edmonton or Toronto. That 0.75 with Mcdavid, Draisaitl, Matthews, or Tavares with Nylander would have been very realistic heck even higher. Really surprised Holland or Dubas was not in on him and for that cheap that would have been perfect for either of them

NSH managed to collect a 2nd out of this trade despite Arvidsson having a down year; Impressive. They win in my book.

I love all you Preds fans on here but I can’t not laugh at the fact I’d make like a 1st and a prospect trades for Arvidsson and y’all would be like “wE wIlL nOt JusT bE gIvinG hIm AwAy”

Great deal for LA, he’s easily worth a 1st, Nashville was forced because of the expansion draft though if that was the price not sure why an other team didn’t offer more
