It was always speculation driven by "they have the prospects to get it done", but if you look at the make-up of their team and their prospect base...the question would be "why would they?"

Why would they trade Quinton Byfield in a deal for Eichel? Byfield is younger, and is projecting to be a significant player. They also have Vilardi, Thomas, Turcotte, and Kupari. That team is stacked with centres going forward, and they're all being led by Kopitar.

The Kings never made sense.

I would imagine you'll see the Kings target guys like Jones/Tarasenko. Defensemen and Wingers.

Yeah, Jones doesn't make much sense to me either. Laine is interesting because of Laine's (rumoured) long-term hopes of playing in a beach city.
