Reminds me of when they were loaded with young prospects and weren’t a great team and added carter and Richards and won 2 cup like real fast after those deals
Brown and kopitar are free agents before they need to resign they young guys too. Kopitar will resign for cheap. They might be a contender this year if they get someone good this summer
They could still get Eichel just don’t think they should trade their top prospects to get him
If byfield and turcotte turn out close to what they supposed to be guys like doughty and kopitar are still stars

The only way they are contenders this season is if 3-4 of their young players take a massive, unexpected leap.
I like the Arvidsson pick up, he’s a decent player, but the Kings are still a team that isn’t good enough to make the playoffs. All of these picks need to actually start doing something before we start saying they are close to contending
