TSN reports that the Los Angeles Kings are close to a deal that would see them add a top six forward, but something is holding up the deal. Sources say that the team currently has three NHL goaltenders, and is looking to move either Jacob Markstrom or Peter Budaj first for another piece.
GM Stealth22 had no comment. "I don't respond to rumours and speculation. We're always looking for ways to improve our team, and we're always in conversation. I have had conversations with other GM's, but I am not willing to discuss any specifics. At this time, there's no trades imminent."
I hate to part with Markstrom, but he's available for the right price.
