The Los Angeles Kings normally would not have wanted to lose Brent Burns, but in an earlier trade with Toronto, the Kings acquired D Keith Yandle in a deal that sent G Jacob Markstrom and a 1st round pick to the Maple Leafs.

The Kings also got younger by trading Valtteri Filppula to the Dallas Stars in exchange for young center Patrik Berglund.

This gives us two decent scoring lines, a younger scoring line packed with the talent of Devante Smith-Pelly, Luke Adam, and Brett Connolly.
