no.no.no.no. Why would you trade away your top two offensive prospects and two 1st round picks for one guy who is making too much money? You need the cap flexibility.

Why a team which is so far from be a real contender with the current roster would give up that much for a so expensive player? Ovechkin wouldn't change Kings level. They need more than one single player. Neither Crosby would change this scenario.

Kings need to make a little rebuild to be a contender again. Starting to dump Gaborik and Bronw's terrible contracts. The only way to do that is buying out both contracts.

I don't think the Kings are as far off as people think. They were decimated with injury last year, and the year before their d-core was hurt too.

Healthy top 4 defense this year. Theoretically healthy Quick who won't miss 60 games. New coach and first full off-season with Kopitar as captain (To adjust).

Still have 1-2 centers in Kopitar and Carter (Carter was on a legit MVP pace last year for the first half of the season). Top 4 defenders are solid (With hopefully motivated Doughty who had a terrible season last year). Quick in net with decent backup. New coach to shake things up.

The Kings lost a record number of games last year by 1 goal. They couldn't score, so I see the idea of trying to get someone who can score. Just a lot to trade.
